Why not just "behaviorSearchAndFilter"? I'm in the habit of using "dispatch" as it mimics how the engine works and won't throw an error if a message isn't handled. In this case you could argue that you want an error to occur if you haven't implemented the handler. When I'm testing a component I don't want to deal with the debugger opening up though. -- Trevor DeVore ScreenSteps > _______________________________________________ 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
