How do I get a list of all controls on a card?

[Phil Davis]

Here's one way:

on mouseUp
   put controlList() into tMyList
   answer tMyList
end mouseUp


function controlList pTargetCard
   # 'pTargetCard' = optional; the long name of a card. If not
   #  supplied by caller, it is assumed to be the current card.

   if pTargetCard = empty then
     put the long name of this card into pTargetCard
   end if

   put empty into tList -- not technically necesary
   put (the number of controls of pTargetCard) into xMax
   repeat with x = 1 to xMax
     put (the name of control x of pTargetCard) & cr after tList
   end repeat
   delete last char of tList -- the trailing CR
   return tList
end controlList


In 'controlList' you could collect 'the name' of each control, or 'the 
short name' or 'the long name' depending on your purpose.

Hope this helps -
