Every now and again, I wonder why certain properties are not available in LC. The ones that puzzles me the most are the owning card and owning stack of an object.
Maybe it's just the kind of tools I write but I frequently need to get that information. I have written a couple of handlers to get that information but it just seems like there should be a property that does it for you, maybe "ownerStack" and "ownerCard". I've tried a couple of different ways of getting that information and curious how other people do it. I'm sure there are a lot of people who have written the same handlers! I have a recursive function that traverses up the chain of owner properties until it gets to a card or stack, and another one that parses the long name of a control to get the information. I think I prefer the recursive function Pete lcSQL Software <http://www.lcsql.com> Home of lcStackBrowser <http://www.lcsql.com/lcstackbrowser.html> and SQLiteAdmin <http://www.lcsql.com/sqliteadmin.html> _______________________________________________ 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
