How is the built-in controls made?

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Jan,

With the contextual menus:
1. Open the Rev Preferences (general pane) and check the "Contextual  
menus work in Revolution windows".
2. Use the contextual menu (ctrl/right click) on any object in the  
IDE to access its properties and its script.

With the App Browser:
1. Check the "View/Revolution UI Elements in Lists" menu item.
2. All IDE stacks will appear in the App Browser.

IDE stacks are one of the best tool for learning :-)

Hope this helps,

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
