How to copy a Stack from one rev file to another?

Post by rr191 » Wed Apr 11, 2012 7:13 pm

Still try to get the hang of this language and IDE. I found a date picker on this forum that I want to use in my app. How do I copy the stack from that rev file to my own. I looked all over but can't seem to figure it out.

Hi Rob-

Open the stack in the IDE, then open the Property Inspector for the stack.
Change the mainstack of the calendar stack to your stack (it defaults to itself).
That will make the calendar stack a substack of your app.
Save your stack and you're done.

Hi Rob,

1. welcome to the forum :D

2. please check these stacks to get a "feel" for LiveCode:

3. to your question, does the datepicker stack have substacks?


Best

MWeider - Thanks for the info. Worked perfectly. I was looking for a copy or import.

Klaus -- Thanks for the welcome. I have already started looking at the lessons.

Thanks everyone.
