Thanks, this does work but I am confused why childControlNames only returns POLYGON and not "graphic id 1011" as "graphic id 1011” is it’s actual name as I have not renamed it. All the best Terry This works for those who come across this in their stacks: on deleteChart lock screen repeat

Very nice Bernd, thanks. One suggestion. Right now, if you click anywhere on the slider outside the thumb, the thumb moves to the beginning or end. Would be good if the thumb movement was a factor of where you click on the slider and min/max values. For example, if you clicked 2/3rds of the way
