In a utility I'm writing, I need to keep track of when groups in stacks outside the utility go into and out of edit mode. The context is as follows.
I have a front script that traps newField, newButton, etc messages. In that script I can easily tell if the control is being added while the stack is in group edit mode by checking the stack's editBackground property, but I need to figure out how to detect when it comes out of edit mode. To further explain, it seems that when a group is placed into group edit mode, it no longer owns any controls, I guess it has essentially been ungrouped although the group itself still exists. When a control is added to a card in group edit mode, it is owned by the card not the group. Only when the group comes out of edit mode do the group's controls become owned by the group again. My utility needs to keep track of the controls in a group and loses track of them because of the above. The only way I can think of to find out what controls are in the group is to detect when it comes out of group edit mode. I haven't been able to find any messages that would help me so looking for advice on how to deal with this situation. I could have edit/stop editing group buttons in my utility (and probably will) but I would really like to be able to use the LC Edit Group button as well.
