There is an issue with the "last group". Unlike all other objects, it doesn't work. The dictionary has this:
The "last" keyword is not stable when referring to groups. So if one creates several groups, referencing the "last" group may not return the group actual ly created last. Using the "templateGroup" is a workaround, since when creating a new group one can, for example, set the name of the templateGroup to something unique, and be able to find the last group by name. Also, trapping the "newGroup" message with an appropriate script can be used to find the last group. This is not an issue with other objects, -----Original Message----- From: William de Smet <williamdes...@gmail.com> To: How to use LiveCode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> Sent: Sat, Apr 16, 2011 10:14 am Subject: Question about position of cloned group Hi there, I use a little script to clone a grp and rename the name and label of the btn in the group. So far so good but each cloned grp is put on top of the other one. Not so nice! How do I get the cloned grp to be show next to the previous cloned grp? Set the left of grp Naam to (the left of the last grp +20) doesn't work on mouseUp lock screen clone grp "dummy" global Naam add 1 to Naam set the name of the last grp to Naam set the name of btn "cijfer" of the last grp to Naam set the label of the last btn to Naam set the left of grp Naam to (the left of the last grp +20) unlock screen end mouseUp Greetings, William _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
