I created a test stack. I created six buttons and grouped them. I ran the
following in a seventh button. It never failed.
I'm using 6.5.2. Somewhere along the way the more specific childControlIDs
was added. I didn't know if it is available in 6.1.1 so I didn't use it.

I've had similar problems using the snapshot command, where the engine seems to
get behind. My latest problem was my own fault, though where I had locked the
screen and it couldn't update. What fooled me was that when I put in a
breakpoint, the breakpoint unlocked the screen and it looked as I e

Yeah, been there. It's normal but it's really frustrating. Learning a
new language is hard, no matter which one you choose.
Send me your stack if you want and I can probably tell
tired to keep going.
Thank you all.

I know you've found a workaround now, but I'm curious:
Where does "rownum" get its value?
Do the button names match their labels exactly? Your handler references
the buttons by name ("button thisButton") but then looks at their
labels. If they don't match, the handler won't be working with the

This, it seems, always points toward the engine is not keeping up.
A "wait 1 millisec" before "if the label of button thisButton = "?" then"
tends to clear it up. (maybe somewhere else but in that area)

Thank you Randy, but that's not the case here.
After I got your email, I triple checked. It's something else going on.

Hi.
"filter" and "matchtext" take a bit of practice. It seems you have more stuff
in your filterPattern than you need, but I could be mistaken, As a test, make a
field with the following in it:
aa
bb
cc
dd
Now in a button:
on mouseUp
get fld 1
filter it without "bb" --also try "filte
Hi Larry,
First of all, when you write "it didn't work", you should really write
exactly why it didn't work and what you got instead of the expected
result. E.g. did nothing happen, did you get an error message --if you
got an error message, then what was the exact text of the error
message--
