The Button condition looks for a standard Mac button in the front window.

It can find a button with a name that is exactly a specified string, containing a specified string, or matching a specified regular expression.

The condition can return true if:

• a matching button exists.
• a matching button does not exists.
• a matching button is enabled.
• no matching button is enabled.
• a matching button exists but is disabled.
• a button (usually a checkbox) exists and is off.
• a button (usually a checkbox) exists and is on.
• a button (usually a checkbox) exists and is mixed.

Note that you can generally only detect standard Mac buttons, not custom buttons, nor buttons in web windows. For other kinds of buttons, you may need to use the Found Image condition.
