Good evening (o;
Let’s say I have a Canvas where I want to draw individual buttons.
A method called AddTab should add a new button with caption and other options.
Is structure the way to go to hold the buttons information like index, caption, flags?
And if so…how do I have to initialize it properly in my custom canvas class so I can add items to it and iterate through it?

You place a button (outside of the Window),
you use New to create a new instance of that button
you set properties for this new button (location, name, etc.)

Okay…I have to add a structure to my canvas class, but also a property holding an array of it…
Now when I call AddTab I have to convert the Caption String to Byte().
Is there a built-in function that does that?
Don’t use structures unless you absolutely need them.
Better create a class that holds several properties instead of a structure.
Structures are mostly used for Declares.
Excellent 
Slowly but surely I move forward with Xojo (o;
Never though of using a Class with properties and define a property with it as Array in a canvas class (o;

Already got a nice example project where I learned how to deal with events and event definitions…
The contextual mouse click can be solved also easily…if you return False in the event (o;
