Hi Richard, Just the datagrid group, not the stack itself. Here's what I see when cloning. If I clone a card, the controls on it are given a new set of IDs. If I clone a stack, the controls within the new stack retain the IDs from the original stack. I guess that's what I would have expected.
One other thing I noticed when I was doing this test. The IDs of the controls I put on the first card I set up for the test weren't numbered consecutively, they were 1004, 1006, 1008, etc. When I cloned that card, the IDs were consecutive, 1011, 1012, 1013, etc. Is there a reason why the first card's control IDs went up in 2's?
