This is not the answer to your question, but it might work anyway -
Have you tried _swap_in_ and _swap_out_?
They can be a little flaky - or at least seem that way to my small mind -
but they will definitely work - tested on 6.12.002/NT.
If the text entry completely covers the buttons then this does not quite
work - not immediately anyway - hence the *most* but not quite all bit in
the comment.

***

obj1 is a push button

obj2 ditto

obj3 is a text string that covers *most*

   but not quite all of obj1 and obj2

obj4 and obj5 are blocks;





init:

link obj5;

return;



obj1:

put 'Button 1 pushed';

return;



obj2:

put 'Button 2 pushed';

return;



obj4:
*** hide the buttons/show the text;

call notify('obj1','_swap_out_');

call notify('obj2','_swap_out_');

call notify('obj3','_swap_in_');



return;



obj5:
*** hide the text/show the buttons;

call notify('obj3','_swap_out_');

call notify('obj1','_swap_in_');

call notify('obj2','_swap_in_');

return;
