The reason was that, for various kinky reasons of my own I bunged a CR on the end. 
Operator malfunction???

Oh.
Carriage return.
I thought it was a ham sandwich.

What does that stack purport to do? Anyway, I made a button on the main stack with:
When I click on that button a new button appears, and your card handler does its work.

Is it possible you are trying to send that sort of message when you pull a control from the tools palette? Those messages are not sent when you do that.

AHA.
To be fair, I do not know why LC considers that particular action as "not" creating a new control, but it seems it does. But if you do it in any other way, cloning, using the "create" command, it does.

Thanks: but no nearer to answering the OP's question, methinks.

Hmmm
Except for the fact that dragging a control from the tool palette sends no useful message, what part of that question remains? There is:
Done, no?
There is in fact a message sent when pulling from the tools palette, as can be seen in the message watcher. It is "cIDETransient". This is not an "IDE message", because I have those suppressed, but it is hard (impossible?) to trap in a handler.
@Everyone.
Is there a setting (method, kluge) that allows one to trap such semi-IDE messages?

If there was a way to trap the "cIDETransient" message, one could
In that way you get the type of control, and whatever else you need from it.

IFF . . . But all quiet on the Western front.
AND, at the risk of sounding stupid (and I am not stupid, merely ignorant), as LiveCode
is, supposedly, built with LiveCode, why is there a distinction between 'IDE messages'
and 'non-IDE messages'?
As Wikipedia states:
"The boundary between an IDE and other parts of the broader software development environment is not well-defined"
It might be useful for EVERYONE to know WHERE the boundary in LC between the IDE and the non-IDE exists, and
HOW to leverage stuff going on in the non-IDE.
As March 15 was the IDEs of March, this seems a good a time as any to explore and push this question.
Love, Brutus.
