Monte, For mobile.....I have a scrolling group full of stuff (Images, text fields doing font sizing ...) that is dynamically built and slides in after the rest of card is displayed. So I lock the screen for effects, build the group and then unlock it and it slides in. Would lockUpdates help the performance in this case? It doesn't sound like it will based on your description, but I just had to ask......

Good catch Pete These were contributed by me before the docs were in the repo and I assumed (obviously wrongly) that someone who had access was doing them. lockUpdates is a group property which disables resetting the group (rect, scrollbars etc) when you do something to a child control like move it. You want to use this to optimise performance if your changing lots of properties on children and only need the group to refresh at the end. It's a session only property (not saved). controlIDs and controlNames are like childControlIDs and childControlNames however they parse all the children recursively rather than just direct descendants. I guess I'd better add documenting these to my todo list unless someone else feels like having a go?
