Hi Klaus, thanks. The fact is that the code is on a card that is not in foreground

Hi Klaus,
I have a handler in a card where there is the need to know what is the current card displayed. And, no... the card displayed is not the one that contains the running code...

Hi Klaus, isn't "this card" used to refer to the card where the code is running? Actually I need to know the name of the card which is the current frontmost card.

Hi Klaus, the code is called by a menu item, that menus are located in a different card. The code is simple, a thing like this one:
copy word -3 to -1 of field "output"

Sorry, still no way!?
How can you select a menu item on card X, but exspect card Y to be the current card?

Code: Select all

set the defaultstack to the topstack
## COPY will only copy SELECTED text!
