But, doesn't a group need to have backgroundBehaviour true FIRST in order to show up in the Place Group submenu? Tom On Jan 5, 2005, at 11:15 PM, Jeanne A. E.

If you are on a card that has the group when you create the new card, the group is placed on the new card. Thomas J.

No. You can place any group in your stack on a card where it doesn't already appear. This is how you use one group across multiple cards. The backgroundBehavior just places groups on a new card automatically and places the group script after the card script in the message path. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Multimedia [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

No. (Just checked, in case a bug like that had sneaked in.) You can place any group (as long as it's not already placed on the current card - can't place the same group twice on the same card). -- jeanne a. e. devoto ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jaedworks.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

All you do is group the controls that you want to appear on new cards - then set the background behavior of that group to true. Maybe we could improve the documentation by adding something like this: How to display objects on more than one card: You display the same object (or a set of objects) on more than one card by making them part of a group. Select the object or objects you want to group, then choose Object menu Group Selected. To do this in a handler, use the group command.

controls on each card
Hi Folks This is a silly one and AGAIN is very basic. I have a card that has a button on it that creates a new card. OK simple. However, when I click on it, a new card is produced. It does not have on it the buttons of the [previous card. This I know only requires something set via the IDE ( I read it the other night in Dan's book, a great buy) however, I have trawled the book and cannot find which box to tick. I don't want to read the whole thing again word for word to find this since it is late (and I haev a habit of speed reading and missing things). So can someone send me the info. Naturally it is RTFM :-) but the book is 321 pages :-) THanks in advance Bob -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

RE: controls on each card
See... This is really a great example of why the documentation needs to be clearer. All you do is group the controls that you want to appear on new cards - then set the background behavior of that group to true. It took me a little while to figure out how to navigate between selecting groups and selecting the controls within groups. The way Rev handles groups and backgrounds is really very powerful - lets you do lots of cool stuff - but it certainly is confusing at first.

Naturally it is RTFM :-) but the book is 321 pages :-) select all controls that you want to have on EVERY card and group them... Then check that goup's backgroundBehaviour in the Basic Properties in the Inspector for that group. This way the group will be placed on every new card when you create a new card... BUT that group must be on the card where the new card is being created! Sounds like that is the case in your example :-) Hope that helps.

Hi Jonathan All you do is group the controls that you want to appear on new cards - then set the background behavior of that group to true. Yes Ijust found this on the google site this moment. I selected all the fields and then pressed group but they were only selected for aligning etc. I then noticed in runrev help-topics that there was a group help section. So I checked this (I assumed my group was created but it seems that you need to select Object-group and not derag a box and click on the group icon) and found the way. Off to bed now. Getting late and I'm tired. Perhaps that is why I have struggled with it so much in the last half hour. :-) Thanks for the speedy reply. Bob -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
