Well, I figured it out..and boy is it simple.. When relayering a control, you first should find out if it is contained within a group. If so then start editing the group. Identify the control you wanted to move then simply:
get the layer of tControlID set the layer of tControlID to it + 1 (moves it up one level) set the layer of tControlID to it - 1 (moves it down one level) set the layer of tControlID to top (moves it the the top of parent grp) set the layer of tConrtolID to bottom (moves it the the bottom of parent grp) Note-- I said 'one level' not one layer. This is an important distinction. The Rev engine already knows how to move groups around relative to each other so setting a groups layer to one less than current will automatically 'skip' over all other controls owned by a lower group. Pretty simple. I was focussed on setting layer numbers. This is much easier-- and the trick is to work inside the edit group command. Also Ken Ray's function is important as well-- as you can't get a unique long owner for a control which is part of a group. function stsLongOwnerID pObjID,pOpt_NumLevels if pOpt_NumLevels = "" then put 1 into tNum else put pOpt_NumLevels into tNum if word ((4*tNum)+1) of pObjID is among the items of "group,card" then delete word 1 to (4*tNum) of pObjID end if return pObjID end stsLongOwnerID -Chipp _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
