Correct script for a property change?

[melristau]

Need basic help with changing the "Select group controls" property - Please and Thanks!

not working:

Code: Select all

set the "select grouped controls" of grp "x59" to false

Hi Mel,

"selectgroupedcontrols" is a global property and no property of a group!
...
set the selectgroupedcontrols to TRUE
...
If in doubt, always check the dictionary, it is really better than its reputation!

"selectgroupedcontrols" is a global property and no property of a group!

Respectfully, as of v4.x and later it is both.

The global property works as you described, and the group property overrides that for the group where that property is false, allowing custom controls like the DataGrid to maintain their interactions with the pointer tool as though they're a single object.

Ouch, got me! I should read the complete entry in the dictionary.

Sorry, Mel, apologies, my fault!
