Re: Stack height won't stay locked

on preOpenStack I set the windowBoundingRect to 0,0,1680,1050, which is the screenRect. Closed & Removed from memory. When reopened, the height was back to 938. I checked the windowBoundingRect in the message box just to be sure; it was 0,0,1680,1050. I'm stumped.... I'll have to see what happens on...

Re: Stack height won't stay locked

Hmmm.

I set the windowBoundingRect to 91,74,1680,1046.

I'll try setting it to the screenRect. Thanks!

Re: Stack height won't stay locked

Oh phooey. I made a onPreOpenStack handler for my mainstack that reset the windowBoundingRect to give me another 30 pixels.

It made no difference. The stacks still open at 983 px height when I set them to 1024.

Sigh.

Thank you, Jacque! That must be what's happening. Now it makes sense! :D

Re: Stack height won't stay locked

Sorry I missed your question, Richard. The project was originally started in Rev Media 4.0, so it had the .rev extension.

Re: Stack height won't stay locked

Making a copy with deleted substacks and images worked!

Thank you all again for your help.

Attached is the mainstack.

Re: Stack height won't stay locked

The stack doesn't have a menu group; I am on a Mac, and I was thinking of the system menu bar.



Hmmm... just found out I can't attach the stack; it's a .rev file and "The extension rev is not allowed".

I wonder if the problem could have something to do with it being a .rev file.

Re: Stack height won't stay locked

Thanks for your replies! The vertical resolution of my display is 1050. With the menu bars and window bars, there are some pixels being cut off from my stack, I think. Is the stack size limited to the available screen space? I can use the brute force method like Craig suggested and have the main sta...

Stack height won't stay locked

Hello all! I have set my mainstack height to 1024 pixels. I un-check "Resizable" and click the Lock icon, and save the file. I close the stack, Remove it from memory. When I re-open the stack, the height of the stack is reset to 938 pixels. "Resizable" remains unchecked, but the Size and Position lo...

Switching set of referenced images

I'm a non-programmer and new at this, so please forgive me if this is a no-brainer. I'm using referenced images to create the look-and-feel for a rev application. I envision creating the stack with a default folder of images, and offering the user the ability to choose among several different sets o...

Re: Sending a handler problems

Thanks for the suggestions! :oops: I realized that my handler needed to say "if the short name of the current card..." rather than " if the name of the current card.." After I changed that, the if evaluated without a problem. I do need to figure out how to keep the substack on top, though, when the ...

Sending a handler problems

Hi everybody! On a card in my mainstack I put a button that sends a handler to another stack. There are (currently) two cards in the substack. If the first card is the one open when the user clicks the button, I want to hide some graphics and a field. I'll be adding more code to deal with any furthe...
