Has anyone got extensive experience of using altID? I am thinking of using it - but not sure exactly how.
The scenario I have is to do with a library of components that get copied all over the place, replace each other and need a good way of referring to each other and their library equivalents. I cant to use ids as they change when copied. I can't use names, because there may be other controls of the same name, and i want to be able to rename them without affecting anything, so... can I use altIDs? For a while now I have been using custom properties like: getprop title_Field return the long id of fld "Title" of me end title_Field Which works very well - put the title_Field of group "Outline" works. Renaming can be handled using a look-up in the custom property and trapping for the nameChanged message. The script is nicely organised as there is only one place where a control is referred to. That said could I be using altIDs or another technique? _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
