Naomi,

I understand using the loop to force it to work with all underlying objects within objects such as grids and containers. I also see that one of the BaseClass she lists is [form] because basically the form is a container of objects as well, but for some reason it does not force it into the command button objects. I tried adding [commandbutton] and it errors out, but when I do not, it does not force it into the method of command buttons.


Kevin,

The reason Marcia has the extra code at the top is to try to separate objects that are collections (such as grid, container, pageframe, etc.) from the non-container based objects (such as commandbutton, textbox, editbox, etc.). For the former we need to call that method recursively.

So, don't add commandbutton to the list in the beginning of the code.

>In the code Marcia sent listed below, it starts to loop thru all objects in each of the baseclass types listed to push the code into the method provided. When using the code with a textbox displaying the results as I click/tab around, I notice that command buttons are not recognized, so I tried to add the base class for them into the code (i.e. IF INLIST...(toObject.BaseClass)),[form], [pageframe], [page], [container], [grid], [column], [commandbutton])) and the code errors out by adding the commandbutton type. I am trying to figure out how to get the code to recognise command buttons as well.
