Yes! I agree with you about throw.
Do you, or dose anyone, have an example that shows the use of the throw
command in conjunction with the try-catch structure?

Stephen,
What has me puzzled, maybe you have the answer, is a function to return ALL the
properties of a given object.
As many have said, the properties function is incomplete. For one thing it
omits the foregroundcolor of the scrollbar. (I wonder whether those properties

I have a slider in which the showValue is set to true.
Unfortunately, the card background is gray and the black slider value is very
difficult to read.
The inspector for the slider does not display an option for the foreground
color. Why not?
Using 4W Properties (thank you RIchard) the
I have found (legendary) Renaldi's SmartProperties invalueable. It
allows one to compare side by side the properties to two objects. It is
valuable in finding out why two, apparently identical, controls behave or look
different.
