Grouped Controls(Objects)

[Mats Wilstrand]

Hi Terry!

>From 6.1 there are four new properties you can use for tasks like yours:

"controlIDs" reports the short IDs of all the controls of a card or group.
(undocumented)
"controlNames" reports the short names of all the controls of a card or
group. (undocumented)
"childControlIDs" reports the short IDs of all the direct children of a card
or group.
"childControlNames" reports the short names of all the direct children of a
card or group.

Requires a minimum of code to do what you want and does it fast:

on mouseUp
   repeat for each line tID in the controlIDs of grp "myGroup"
      delete control id tID
   end repeat
end mouseUp

We must thank the guys in the deep and dark mines of the C++ mountain for
contributing things like this!

Best regards
Mats
