Re: Getting a list of groups on a card
I put this in a button and it seemed to do pretty well. Is there any reason to NOT do this with try/catch and toss the error? *on mouseUp* * put 1 into i* * repeat until tDone* * wait 100 milliseconds with messages* * try * * put the long id of group i return after tGroups* * add 1 to i* * catch tErr* *-- ignore tErr* * put true into tDone* * end try* * end repeat* * put tGroups* *end mouseUp* On Sat, Feb 26, 2011 at 12:33 PM, J.

Re: Getting a list of groups on a card
That's basically what I'm doing, just checking there wasn't some other property or perhaps a syntax like the groupNames of group xyz, but seems not.

Getting a list of groups on a card
The groupnames and groupids properties of a card only report the top level groups. Other than iterating through all the controls on a card, is there a way to get a list of the gorup names and/or IDs that are in the top level groups?
