[Gambas-user] How to duplicate Ctrls with properties at runtime, Thanks, work to be done ...

[ub2 at gmx.ch]

Dear Olivier and Lee


Thanks a lot for your ideas.

Right now your code is slightly above my head,
but I will dig into and be back probably in a few days.

Most likely it needs deciding whether I want to manage complexity
a) at the very beginning when listing, or
b) later on when accessing/calculating created lists

The project already deals with 9 lists, not too much more to come.
On the other side, calculations to be adapted upon request....

So for now, work for a) seems to smell less...


Sorry for this unspecific answer.
But your inputs already helped a lot, and will even do more.


Again, thanks for your help,
and greetings to all Gambin at s.
