Alex:
“the long name of me” is a complete reference to an object, which contains the
group name. What I was trying to do is get the name of the group that the
button is in. I can parse it from the long name of me, but thought it would
pull it out of “me”.
Anyway, what do I know? If I’m wrong to expect this, then I won’t report it as
a bug (of course).
Or perhaps there is a better way of getting the group that a control is within.
Best,
Bill
