In addition to what's in Richard's writeup I tend to use the following conventions. Mostly just a carryover from other development environments since they don't really do much, but they tend to trigger the same neuron activity so it makes it easier for me to conceptualize what I'm doing: control prefix example --------------------------- buttons : "btn" : "btnSave" radio buttons : "rdo" : "rdoOption1" checkboxes : "chk" : "chkShowLineNumbers" tab buttons : "mnu" : "mnuMainTabForm" fields : "fld" : "fldHandlers" labels : "lbl" : "lblSourceCode" groups : "grp" : "grpGraphicControls" The only other rule of thumb I have is to keep object names one word rather than having spaces in the middle. And of course, that rule, like any other rule, was made to be broken when needed. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ 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
