Re: Storing and object reference in a var

(mostly to solidify the memory for myself) set the text of tObjectReference gives the engine enough clue to know that you're setting a property (set the text of) so the next thing needs to be an object reference. put "fred" into tObjectReference is ambiguous because you can put fred into tname or

Re: Storing and object reference in a var

Agreed. Please enlighten. I had this problem when getting the controls in a group, parsing out the fields, then trying to get the contents. I did this because I had some fields named the same, but they were in different groups, so I wanted only the one in the specified group. Bill > On Jan 24,

Storing and object reference in a var

I have scripts supplied by others, that seem to work where the long id of an object is stored in a variable and then you can refer to that object with a single var-name But I can't get this to work put the long id of fld "daily-lesson-text" into tTargetField put "Hello" into tTargetField what

Oh, I see what you mean now. That particular model is very hard to find now. When I buy a cheap unknown device, I usually try to get the original ROM while it is new, and save it away for the dreaded day. ~Roger On Tue, Jan 24, 2017 at 4:17 PM, Roger Eller wrote:

I see this as a departure from other SW. I read "Don’t save" as "Don't save now" not as "Don't save ever". I just made my first non-mobile standalone(since 2012) just the other day. And I was surprised to see the stack get closed and get re-opened as JLG documented. At the time I thought the
