Display of groups in Control Browser

[Wouter]

Ok and now for the 1 liner solutions:


on refresh
    local l, pad, cname, groupcontrols, isvis, nopw, nlines
    lock screen
    set the defaultStack to the label of button "Stack Name"
    put empty into l
    put empty into pad
    put 0 into groupcontrols
    put the passkey of this stack is empty into nopw
    repeat with i = 1 to the number of controls
      if the visible of control i then put empty into isvis else put "+" 
into isvis
      if nopw then put the number of lines in the script of control i 
into nlines
      if nlines is 0 then put empty into nlines
      put pad & line 1 of the name of control i into cname
      if the length of cname > 30
      then put "..." into char 28 to -1 of cname
      put cname & tab & nlines & tab & isvis & return after l
      if word 1 of the name of control i is "group" then
        if pad is empty
        then put the number of layers in control i into groupcontrols
        else
          --subtract the number of layers in control i from the last 
item of groupcontrols ###
          ### the change
         put last item of groupcontrols - the number of layers in 
control i into groupcontrols
         ###
          put comma & the number of layers in control i after 
groupcontrols
        end if
        put "  " after pad
      end if
      if pad is not empty then
        repeat while pad is not empty and last item of groupcontrols <= 0
          delete last item of groupcontrols
          delete char 1 to 2 of pad
        end repeat
        --if pad is not empty then subtract 1 from the last item of 
groupcontrols  ###
        ### the change
       if pad is not empty then put last item of groupcontrols - 1 into 
groupcontrols
       ###
      end if
    end repeat
    delete last char of l
    put the id of this card into cardid
    set the defaultStack to the owner of me
    set the defaultStack to "Control Browser"
    put l into field "Controls"
    if the selObj is not empty
    then get the name of the selObj
    else get empty
    if it is empty or word 1 of it is "stack" \
        or (word 1 of it is "card" and (word 2 of it is "id" or char 1 
of word 2 of it is quote)) then
      disablecontrols
      set the hilitedLine of field "Controls" to empty
    else
      set the hilitedLine of field "Controls" to the layer of the selobj
      enablecontrols
    else
    end if
    unlock screen
end refresh


Beware of the mail line wraps
