Hi list,
Is there a quick way to check if a group contains a specific control,
something like :
if there is a fld "xyz" in grp "abc" of this cd
I tried many things but it always generates an error.
So far, the only way I can think of is to maintain a custom prop
for each group, featuring a string that is the list of all controls
names of the group.
if you don't have any other controls with the same name,
you could check:
-> lineoffset("xyz",the childcontrolnames of grp "abc")
or, if you prefer:
if "xyz" is among the lines of the childcontrolnames of group "abc" then
NOTE: As mentioned, "xyz" would need to be a unique name for control in
the group. If you have a field "xyz" and a button "xyz" (or 2 buttons or
2 or more fields with the same name, etc.) this is not accurate.
