is it possible to move an existing field/button into a new or existing group by code?
The IDE allows you to create a new group for an existing control. But you can't do it in code... as far as I see.
thanks

Hi rinzwind ,
Yes

Something like that :
Code: Select all
on mouseup
put the id of btn "MyBtnForCopy" into tBtnForCopyID
copy btn id tBtnForCopyID to group "myGroup"
delete btn id tBtnForCopyID
end mouseUp
Best regards

HI rinzwind,
check this working script from a little test I just made:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
lock screen
select fld 1
cut
start editing grp "g1"
paste
stop editing bg "g1"
unlock screen
end mouseUp
Please note the little difference between "start" and "stop".
The first requires GROUP the latter BACKGROUND!?
Don't ask, no idea
Best
Klaus

What about this :
Code: Select all
on mouseup
put the loc of group "myGroup" into tLocDest
put the id of btn "MyBtnForCopy" into tBtnForCopyID
move btn id tBtnForCopyID to tLocDest
copy btn id tBtnForCopyID to group "myGroup"
delete btn id tBtnForCopyID
end mouseUp

My solution come as near to "moving" as possible
No deletion neccessary.
