I guess you have probably thought of using a recursive function, but if not, then here's an example. I use the following in one of my routines. This finds which of 2 "master backgrounds" a control is part of -- each of the 2 bg's contains a large number of controls and groups and nested groups. At one point, when the user clicks on a control I need to know which master background that control belongs to.
function masterBG theObject put the long id of the owner of theObject into onr if word 1 of onr = "card" then return theObject else return masterBG(onr) end if end masterBG This doesn't do what you want, but the principle of using recursion on the long id is probably what you will have to do. Sounds like a useful utility handler -- when you get it figured out, I'd love to see it. -- Peter Peter M.
