How is the built-in controls made?

[Jan Sælid]

Thank you
both Eric and Andre

Now that I have "opened" the IDE stacks for reading, I guess I will be 
occupied for a couple of weeks:-)

I'd still like an answer to one of my questions though. (If there is one. 
I'm sure there is...)

"the built in (IDE stack) tab panel  is actually a button. How is this 
possible/done?"

>>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,
