i've got 3 questions that i can't seem to solve from the documentation or by trial-and-error. 1. is there a function by which i can set an object's visible state? i'd like to turn an object [in]visible based on user input. 2. is there a way to scan through all the objects that are defined under a parent? for instance, say i have a tabstrip ($TAB), with command buttons, and textfields. is there a way to get a list of all these objects that are defined as children of $TAB? 3. is there any way to group the objects that i put onto a tabstrip object? i need to have some way to determine/define that certain objects are "tied" to particular pages on the tabstrip. the point is to have objects that only show up when they are relevant, and their relevancy is tied to the tab that the user selects. thanks in advance for any and all help.
