Hi Art,
Maybe the "cantSelect' property would help.
set the cantSelect of btn 1 to true
Then the control can't be selected except by some indirect means like in the
Application Browser in the IDE.

I need to prevent users from deleting a control by selecting it with the

According to the LiveCode dictionary (under "deletefield"), an "undo" will work
for fields. However, this appears to be true for buttons, but NOT for fields. Thus,
On deletebutton
Answer "Can't do that!"
send "undo" to this card in 5 milliseconds
end deletebutton
works fine. However,
On deletefield
Answer "Can't do that!"
send "undo" to this card in 5 milliseconds
end deletefield
does NOT work.
I don't know whether it will work for images (I need to prevent them from being
deleted too).
What can I do?
Thanks.
