Actually you shouldn't have to change any of that. Even after setting the
hcaddressing to false, you can still use the longer references to distinguish
between same-named objects. So you could just leave the original scripts alone
in those cases.

When the user clicks within a field, I want to detect the (?? selection,

The only thing I found that sort of works is:

Just for reference, LiveCode has only one field and one button object. All the
field variations in the tool palette are just a single field object with
different properties set. The same goes for all the buttons.

You are welcome.
The only way we all learn LC is both by fooling around with it and by talking
about it. You do know that when I mentioned "the properties" I meant just that
( a native term), and not that you tediously go through all the ones you think
are pertinent.

Hi Craig,
Thanks for elaborating. I really appreciate it. I know your first message
meant perfect sense to you, but I just don't have much experience.
I should have thought to do what you just said in this most recent post.
Now I have a better understanding of how to do stuff like that.
Again,
Make a label field the way you want it. Set the properties of the templateField
to the properties of your label field.

That is a fudge, with a text field overlaying a rectangle with rounded

It is for this very reason, I sometimes must kick myself. The more time I
spend optimizing a routine, these "moments of clarity" happen, and a
complex solution seems so simple. Not so when I return to it as my future
