wildcards, I should add - so I craddled my search term in two of them:
"*" &tSearch & "*"
... and indeed no "items" specified. Works on tSource Var as such.
Search found 8 matches

filter issues
Hi everyone the filter function seems very straightforward - yet I can't get it to work for me... I'm using a text entry field to specify a filter word, that should then be used to filter the lines of a table field containing words in column 1, and numbers in column 2. So, e.g.: filter tSource with ...

PNG control & alpha / clickeable area
Hi everyone What if you come from a tool like Sketch, or Photoshop, and you have, e.g., built a mock up UI with clickeable areas that don't match neat "sqare buttons", which for that reason don't lend themselves to custom skinning? In fact, anything non-square doesn't really. Maybe I'm missing somet...
