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.
