I am not sure I get exactly what you are looking for, but I find myself rewriting very similar code over and over again in resizeStack and resizeControl handlers on resizeStack x,y ... -- what I want to do is modify part of an object rect, something like: -- set rect of btn X to rect of btn X but with new right of y-10 -- and end up writing set rect of btn X to (item 1 of rect of btn X,item 2 of rect of btn X, y-10, item 4 of rect of btn X) ... end resizeStack Sometimes I just want to add to 1 or more items in the rect, sometime replace the values. Using top,left,etc, MOVES the object. You have to use the rect to resize. Of course, I could write functions (and have) to do this. There are a lot of approaches people take with function, from general to specific. set rect of btn X to resizeRectRight(btn X,y-10) A clean way to do this would be nice. Say something like instead of: set the right of btn X to y-10 -- moves button modify the right of btn X to y-10 -- resizes button _______________________________________________ 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
