Is there an easy way to set a behavior in the IDE?

No. The message box is your friend.


I have wished so often that there was some other way. So I started thinking about it after Dar asked, but I can't think of a good way to do it. I was going down the road where we'd shift-select two objects and have a contextual menu that would assign the first one as a behavior to the second. But that would not only get confusing and be error prone, it would be impossible if the two objects weren't on the same card.

So I thought maybe we could click some gizmo in the property inspector that would list everything in the stack and ask us to choose a behavior object. But if there were more than a few controls that's unweildy and building the list for a large stack would be time consuming. And what if the behavior button is in a different stack?

So I think I know why we're stuck with the message box.
