... Great point Richard! Inspired from the RoR story perhaps? I agree full heartedly with this - but just to play devils advocate - I was having nightmares...

... What does that entail? Are you using Rev's Geometry Manager or handling resizeStack messages yourself? -- Richard Gaskin Managing Editor, revJournal ...
David- ... I cheat. I use the short id and [optionally] the stack. put the id of control tControl, \ the short name of stack tStack \ into tParam1 set the...

Hi Trevor, I am closer to your solution than the one of Mark there. I have a custom prop with "handlertoexecute" and then at stack level, I intercept the...

... Salut Marielle, It sounds like we are taking similar approaches here. Here are relevant examples from my AutoEvents library. I provide a mouseUp example,...
Trevor- ... I'm curious about why you check to see if the uAutoEvents["MouseUp"] is empty... it seems that calling behavior_dispatch with an empty parameter is...
Richard- Can you repost this (yet again, I know) as a separate thread? This one's getting buried pretty far and I think the Variable Watcher could well benefit...
