"the selectable" for lists of objects in 8.1

Post by erikhans08 » Wed Jul 27, 2016 4:45 pm

Is there any way to get a list of (the selectable = true) status for all objects on a card?
This was one of the frequently used capabilities in stack "revApplicationOverview".
It really ought to be an option in the Project Browser.

At the left of each control in the Project Browser are two icons: the eye governs visibility, the lock governs selectability.

Yes, the LiveCode names for those properties are "visible" and "cantSelect", respectively.

Thanks again.
I thought the lock represented a locked location.
