deleting multiple controls all at once

[MisterX]

Dick

your loop works faster IF the number of controls < the number of "thing"
controls.

otherwise it will take longuer.

what's needed here is a control

create all your controls in a  group "things".

Then it's easier to delete group n controls in a group than among other
controls.

repeat while there is a contorl 1 of grp "things"
  delete control 1 of group "things"
end repeat

or even better

delete group "things"
