Hey folks. Using BlackBoxZero 1.18.0 RC3. Trying to get BBInterface to show the currently selected Workspace label as caption text. Any pointers? 

@BBInterface Control SetAgent LabelX Caption ???? "????"

You can use bro@ms to monitor workspaces with bbinterface. Here are your options:

 

 @BBCore.PrevWorkspace  previous workspace

 @BBCore.NextWorkspace  next workspace

 @BBCore.SwitchToWorkspace #n  switch to workspace number #n

 @BBCore.LastWorkspace  switch to last used workspace

 @BBCore.MoveWindowLeft  move window to previous workspace

 @BBCore.MoveWindowRight  move window to next workspace

 @BBCore.MoveWindowToWS #n  move window to workspace number #n and switch WS

 @BBCore.SendWindowToWS #n  send window to workspace number #n and don't switch

 @BBCore.GatherWindows  gather all windows in the current workspace

 @BBCore.AddWorkspace  add another workspace

 @BBCore.DelWorkspace  remove the last workspace

 @BBCore.EditWorkspaceNames  edit the names of workspaces

 Yeah. I gathered I could affect controls via bro@ams, but what I'm looking for is a dynamic label that displays the current workspace name, like the boxbar /toolbar  does. "Alpha" "Beta" "Gamma" etc.

Unfortunately there is no such option, afaik. But you can use a button or switch button with a bro@m to control workspaces and label that button with the name of each workspace. Control Options/Pressed place your bro@m here and Control Options/Caption use the workspace's name. You probably need a button that will automatically change workspace name with each workspace switch, but can't be done - again, afaik. But I will look more into it.

Ahh, I suppose I could do that. Use Switch state buttons, and setting mousedown to change, while mouseup to invert change the other buttons state. Effectively making them all mutually exclusive toggle sets. Thanks!

You seem to be quite familiar with bbinterface, which is exciting

[Eksodismal]

Oh.. so very familiar with it.  

One of my very first GUI's using the original Bbinterface on Xoblite

Quite impressive! Why don't you upload the style and the bbi script under themes here?

that was just an old screen shot, I'll have to try and find all my old bbi scripts and module files. I will definitely post 'em all once found.
