Quit an app

Hi!
New basic question:
I have a main stack and a substack and I want the app to quit if I clic on the X of the main stack and to just close the substack if I clic on its X.
If I put his code on the main stack:
on closeStack
quit
end closeStack
and this code on the other substacks:
on closeStack
end closeStack
it works fine, but I was wondering if there is a better way to reach the same goal!
Thank you, Davide

Would something like this work? Just put it into the main stack script, and i think it will do what you're asking.
Code: Select all
on closestackrequest
put the owner of the target into tStackTitle
set the itemdelimiter to space
delete item 1 of tStackTitle
replace quote with empty in tStackTitle
if tStackTitle is "MyMainStack" then
quit
else
close stack tStackTitle
end if
end closestackrequest
Not sure if that's the best way to go about it, but maybe it's what you're looking for.
edit: removed the line that replaced space with empty, as this would mess things up if there was a space in your stack titles

As a matter of fact, maybe this one is a little better.
Code: Select all
on closestackrequest
put the short name of the owner of the target into tStackTitle
if tStackTitle is "MyMainStack" then
quit
else
close stack tStackTitle
end if
end closestackrequest
