[Gambas-user] How to copy a frame containing various controls - Thanks

[ub2 at ...36...]

Dear Tobi


Thanks for showing me the "sane OOP way" in such a detailed manner. ;-)

Well, you wrote, it's "quite advanced topic".
And you're right, I do not have a clue right now.
.. but there are still long winter nights and I know where to dig now!

(If not succeeding, I might escape by copy/paste manually and making
invisible all not needed Frames.)

Thanks for your help and a nice holidays to all.


Regards,
Hubert
