Hi, So what I’m doing is I have a popup box(separate window) with some check boxes in it and I like to bind those boxes to the visibility property of some buttons in another window but I can only bind properties to of the same window using property binding. is there a way around that? maybe use scripting? ![:scratch:](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/1X/76d1620bec252bfac07050c889ff5a91dc8a9c25.gif ":scratch:")

You can use scripting. Put the following on the propertyChange event of the checkbox.

`if event.propertyName == "selected":
	win = system.gui.getWindow("ButtonWindow")
	win.getRootContainer().getComponent("Button").visible = event.newValue`
