It would be nice to be able to assign various GUI elements to a groupID number, so you can modify their common properties on a group by group basis, rather than have to individually modify each one.

Just putting it out there.
Huh. I was sure I had responded to this yesterday.

I think this is an intriguing idea, although I'm not sure how practical it would be to set up. If it seems feasible then it might happen.

I don't think this would be hard to do with the current system's features. Just winset from a list or use a certain naming convention with the controls.

With a list of control ids, one could easily for(id in grouplist) winset(player,id,params)? Not hard at all.

Or let's say one has 4 controls named control1 thru control4, one could easily for(cnum=1;cnum<5;cnum++) winset(player,"control[cnum]",params)

The coder would have to ensure that the params were valid for each control, of course.

The idea is to avoid this.
