Why do you want to add actions based on the creation of the uscanner node? In this case, so I can run scanbuttond on creation of uscanner0.

But it seems to show that either the ability to dynamically create "static device links" isn't there, or I just haven't found it yet. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USAhelp
