I'm not sure how to ask this, but here goes: Is there a practical way to "tie" two stacks together? In other words, if someone grabs the title bar of one stack's window and moves it, the other stack that is open also moves relative to the stack being moved. Ideally, what I want to happen is that a m...

In other projects I have used simple if/then statements, but I now have situation where switch might be better. I have read the documentation again and again, but I still don't quite get it. My needs are as follows: I have a main stack (foundation) with a substack (console). All of my buttons, etc. ...

Thanks Klaus! I was thinking from the wrong direction. I hadn't been thinking of scripting the card at all, just the button. Your idea is very efficient. I have already adapted it to my test stack and will soon use it on the real thing.
Thanks so much.

I have a stack of a dozen cards or so that the user navigates through by clicking "forward" and "back" buttons (on the card in a separate sub-stack). What is the most efficient way to disable the forward button in the sub-stack when the user reaches the last card in the main stack (and disable the b...

I wanted to leave a word of thanks for you. I appreciate the help in getting me pointed in the right direction (pun intended) with the arrow keys. Also, the preOpenStack worked best for my situation, too. Thanks again.

Forgetful me — I was thinking in terms of the keyboard and not the application and searching for things related to "keys" and not "arrows" or "navigation." By the way, for the global property to be false when I create a standalone application, do I need to have a custom property set or anything? Whe...

No wonder I couldn't find what I was looking for ... I was calling it the wrong thing. Thanks for putting me on the right track.

This may be a silly question, but is there a practical way to disable the use of the arrow keys on the keyboard to navigate from card to card for a stand-alone application? I need to restrict the end-user from being able to move from card to card in a linear fashion.
Thanks,
Scott

I have tried the suggested script format, but I must not be doing something right. I want to use a check box to toggle the mouseEnters on/off, but when I use the script, it lets me turn them off, but then they won't turn back on. Also, I have just tried using the preOpenStack approach, but does this...

I have stacks I am building for education that will be used for both study and teaching. When used for study, each card has many areas that use mouseEnter/mouseLeave for study tips and additional info. What I need to do is to have a universal way (setting a preference, maybe?) to toggle off (or supp...

Thanks Malte. I knew it was a silly question. I don't know why I didn't think of using a group. Too often my brain shuts down on simple things.

This may be a silly question, but is it possible to insert a button into a scrollable text field or into a label field? I have no problem inserting images, etc., but I don't see an obvious way to insert a button.

Thanks,
Scott

Thanks everyone. With all of the suggestions and help, I figured out what was wrong. I did have a word wrong in my "if ... then" section, but even fixing that didn't completely solve the problem. What did finally fix it was when I noticed that I had one line out of place. In moving things around in ...

Thanks for the replies to my problem. The information is useful, but I am still stuck. None of the custom print libraries in Rev [revShow..., revPrint...] functions exactly the way I need it to. I can get those to work when I am printing a field or a card, etc., but when printing overlapping images ...

When using answer printer to call up a standard OS print dialog by clicking a button, is there something else I need to do to get the "cancel" button (in the OS dialog) to function if a user decides not to print? I may be misunderstanding the user guide when it talks about using answer printer inste...
