There was a question lately in one of their surveys about HTML5. I

Hi Richard,
Just the datagrid group, not the stack itself.
Here's what I see when cloning. If I clone a card, the controls on it are
given a new set of IDs. If I clone a stack, the controls within the new
stack retain the IDs from the original stack. I guess that's what I would
have expected.
I think some errors are trapped so that they do not cause a code break. Check
the result to see if it contains anything.

It is because of this sort of thing that I think the engine needs to be updated

I've just been playing around with this a bit more and need to clarify a
couple of things.
When you clone a card, it is placed into the currently-open stack, not the
same stack as the original card was in. So if the stack the original card
is in is open when you clone it, the new

Hi all.
I just noticed that if you send or dispatch to an object and you have specified
parameters in the objects handler, but you don't provide the parameters when
you send or dispatch, the call will silently fail. This seems only to occur for
built in handlers, like mouseUp for example.
This is not normal. The method works for me, and has, basically, since 1987.
But I tried it in both a new stack and in a stack filled with other stuff, a
test stack of mine with all sorts of things in it. The simple command worked as
advertised in the new stack, but failed in the test stack as

Nope, it was me. Name conflict; you don't want to know.
The method works fine. LC messages like mouseUp or custom ones like

Wait I just thought of why it seemed to not work. In the mouseUp code I had the
conditional if pMouseBtnNum is 1 then DUH! If I don't pass 1 as a
parameter, nothing inside the conditional will execute! Criminy that was
stupid.

One thing I did when I wanted to see what messages were being sent to the data

then put the property that was being passed as an argument. Perhaps that would

It's roll your own unfortunately. Shouldn't be too hat to code - just do a
repeat loop through all your controls subtracting the right amount from the
second item in their loc. so the opposite wen finished editing.
