check if _control exist

[M1ke_SK 230]

I have created control in mission:

with uiNamespace do 
{
	[] spawn 
	{
		waitUntil {!isNull findDisplay 46};
		disableSerialization;
		_ctrl = findDisplay 46 ctrlCreate ["RscStructuredText", -1];
		_ctrl ctrlSetPosition [x, y, w, h];
		_ctrl ctrlCommit 0;

		while { true } do 
		{ 
			_ctrl ctrlSetStructuredText parseText format ["myText: %1", valueFromSomeWhere];
		}; 

	};
};

Problem: Every time, when I reset game this control is created again and again and it is over-placing previous control.

Question: Is there a way to check if control exist and if not, create new one?

 

Note: should I set id (-1 in this case) of this control ?

By reset you mean pressing restart button? Mission display 46 does not reset when you press restart button. You have to go back to editor and start preview again.
