I guess you have probably thought of using a recursive function, but if not,
then here's an example. I use the following in one of my routines. This finds
which of 2 "master backgrounds" a control is part of -- each of the 2 bg's
contains a large number of controls and groups and nested groups. At one point,
when the user clicks on a control I need to know which master background that
control belongs to.
function masterBG theObject
put the long id of the owner of theObject into onr
if word 1 of onr = "card" then
return theObject
else
return masterBG(onr)
end if
end masterBG
This doesn't do what you want, but the principle of using recursion on the long
id is probably what you will have to do. Sounds like a useful utility handler
-- when you get it figured out, I'd love to see it.
