I have created a simple Pulldown Menu and set it to Use Stack Panel. Once I click the Pulldown Menu the expected Stack Panel shows up but
as soon as I try to interact with it such as click any buttons, or text fields the opened stack disappears. How can I keep the open stack visible and allow the user to interact with it?

Re: Pulldown Menu Opening Stack
Hi jesse,
stack menu panels are supposed to act like a real pulldown menu(-button).
So interacting with a field is not intended at all, use a modal stack instead!
What did you script to
1. open that stack
2. for the objects in the pull down stack?

Re: Pulldown Menu Opening Stack
Thanks I will check into modals. I assume these are listed in the user guide somewhere.

Hi jesse,
"modal" is just a way to open a stack and means that you cannot click anywhere else but in your "mopdal" stack.
Just like the "Ask" and "Answer" dialogs!
Syntax is easy, too:
...
go stack "your stack here" as modal"
...
And don't forget to add a "close this stack" somewhere in your modal stack
