I'm trying to figure out the best way to make a library of behavior buttons available to multiple applications.

I originally developed the library as a substack of my application but would now like to move it to a separate .rev file and refer to it from other applications. Seems like that gives me a single maintenance point - fix any behavior problems in the library and it's automatically fixed in all applications.

However, it's feeling like this isn't a practical solution. As I understand it, the behavior property of an object uses the long id of the button it refers to and I think the long id includes the operating system path to the .rev file that the button is in.

Just for development purposes, I have three different folders I use - one for code and test, another for QA, and anther for the final application. SO if I set the behavior to point to my library of behaviors in the code and test folder, then move the app's .rev file to the QA folder, the behavior properties will still point to the behavior library of in the code and test folder. And so on.

I'm sure there much more experienced users than me out there who have run into this problem and hoping they can share how they dealt with it. Only thing I can think of is a script that runs during installtion to go find all controls with a behavior property set and change it to the correct one.
