By asking what the mouse "is" you are querying its current condition, but by asking the same thing of a control (a button, etc) you are not explicitly asking for the state of one of its properties, but rather querying the control object itself: if button "Quiet" -- references an object if the mouse -- references the mouse state mapping the checked/unchecked state of a checkbox button onto the object reference requires a whole new level of metaprogramming and parser inference. -- -Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.com This communication may be unlawfully collected and stored by the National Security Agency (NSA) in secret.
