Which control/object defines ‘source=“...”’ attribute?

[Varsuuk]

random code cut from MoreCore

				<script>
					function onDoubleClick(x, y)
						if getValue() > 0 then
							local rActor = ActorManager.getActor("pc", window.getDatabaseNode());
							Debug.console("rActor: ");
							Debug.console(rActor);
							local nodeWin = window.getDatabaseNode();
							Debug.console("nodeWin: ");
							Debug.console(nodeWin);
							local sHeroType = nodeWin.getChild("spell_slot_1_name").getValue();
							Debug.console("sHeroType: ");
							Debug.console(sHeroType);
							local msg = {font = "msgfont", icon = "spellicon"};
							msg.text = rActor.sName .. " is using a " .. sHeroType;
							Comm.deliverChatMessage(msg);
							setValue(getValue()-1);
						end
						return true;
					end
				</script>

In your case the datasource would be nodeWin.getChild("defenses.ac.total").getValue();

Got the gist of what it is doing there, presumably this is a button that causes a cast and the last step updates the remaining spells in the slot.

What would be a similar control/action but where you DIDN'T: "access it from the database so you dont need to worry about consistenly using the right path for accessing via the window." so I can get the contrast. I'm pretty sure I am missing a fine point (or gross one for that matter) here

Off to bed, so will see any replies tomorrow.

PS - Thanks Trenloe I had actually! read all of those fully except DB.xcp which I had only skimmed along with couple other packages. I haven't yet been that attentive to those since all my work has been on creating controls and labels thusfar

I could give you the alternative but I dont want you to use it. So I wont
Instead of referencing the db value you reference the same value but do it by its window.control name...

You'd have to walk up and/or down the window/control parent relationship tree.
