add/move/put into to group

[rinzwind]

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.
