I have a number of stack with a lot of controls in multiple nested groups. For me, the groups are primarily for organizing objects on the card so I can find what I am looking for as a developer. OR when I want to move a set of related control around. In all such cases, I have never noticed a visible difference in rendering of the cards vs card with few groups or fewer controls in a similar number of groups. This is just human perception. I have never timed renderings to compare. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
