Thanks for your response, Klaus. I figured it out. Fields and buttons don't have the cantDelete property. Groups do have the cantDelete property. Groups, Fields, Buttons .. eg controls ... are aka PARTS too. Btw I've just completed a stack for experimenting with XMLlib; that I will share soon. O

Re: another newbie question

Hi Larry, Right click on the stack window, not on a control, and you'll see two options, "Send Card Message" and "Send Stack Message". They both expand to show a list of the handlers in the card and stack respectively and clicking on a handler sends a message to it. Incidentally, I don;t think yo

Yet another is to have a test button on your card. This way you have the opportunity of setting up the environment before calling your handler. Bob On Apr 4, 2014, at 24:21 , Mark Schonewille wrote: > Hi Larry, > > There are several ways to do this. You can click on the green arrow at the

newbie question about smartphone apps

Sorry to disappoint. No OT rants about education today. Nor any inquiries about strange LC behavior arising entirely from my own incompetence. I have the vague notion that LC developers are writing smartphone apps. Until ten minutes ago, it never occurred to me that I would attempt such a thing.
