Forms 4.5 item ids

[Quoted] [Quoted] As mentioned in previous posting, I'm trying to write a series of generic visual objects for Forms 4.5

Many of the proposed objects need to dynamically address specific items or [Quoted] canvases when they are invoked.

In soms cases, (calendar, progress bar), the users will invoke the object only occasionally and any overheards in finding item or canvas ids is minimal.

But in others (eg an enhanced handling of items with LIST VALUES attached), [Quoted] the id retrieval is invoked each time the user enters the item and I'm concerned about the ensuing overheads

[Quoted] Question Is there any way of storing an item id after it has been retrieved. I've tried assigning to text items, global variables and COPYing the ids to no avail .... every time, attempting to compile gives "expression is of the wrong type" errors ???
