I'd like to put in a plug that being able to do exactly that (make a widget that is a group of classic controls, plus scripts) would be a feature I'd very much like to see. I really don't expect to use widgets for creating custom buttons (or whatever), but we use groups of controls everywhere in our application and making a number of them in to widgets that can easily be added to a new window would definitely accelerate development. _______________________________________________ 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
