Hi warriors !

Added an extra new card to stack ...now looking for how to make it as the opening card when stack is loaded :
could not find where does one change the setting for that ?
any clue...
Tks

Hi.

Easy. Just set the number of your card of interest to "1".

Hi, I can see an Id 6 digit number but can't reach it, could you show here how you edit that number ?

Allows you to change the number property of the card, bumping all the other cards up or down appropriately.

A better way might be to name all your cards, and then in the openStack handler “go to card “openingCard”. Then the order of the cards will never matter or get messed up.

Keep in mind as far as card ordering goes, you can also just drag the desired card to the order you want it in the project browser.



The above shows cards that were made in order, then dragged to re-order them. This also works for controls on a card, etc.

Thanks people; worked out fine !

Hi,

I can see an Id 6 digit number but can't reach it, could you show here how you edit that number ?

Yes, we can change the id of a control but it is recommanded to read informations about it in LC dictionary.
I never needed to change id but i know it can be useful.

When I said set the number of your card, I really meant the number, not the ID.

You have a card ID of six digits??? Never seen anything but four.

What are they?

Craig

Hi Craig,
I guess that is a control id
Jean-Marc

Jean-Marc.

Not that any of this matters, but control ID's are also four digits, unless you include the string "ID" itself.

No?

Craig

Craig,
No. I'am able to get an id with 5 digits I guess depends the num of control of the stack

create a button then set the id of that button to 10000 from aui onwards all the objects you create will have an id greater than 10000.

Aha.

Certainly true that you can set an ID, and then LC will increment from there. I wonder if the OP actually did that, though, since he was only interested in moving a card in his stack to the front.

Anyway, as I said, it hardly matters.

Craig

correct :
- stack has 6 digit ID
- cards have 5 digits ID
- I dont mess with IDs so have no idea if they should be 1 or a zillion digit long...

BTW, I still dont know where is that "famous card number" (window setting) one can change....noone explained this so far !
I just moved the card UP, and that's it.

tks

Hi.

All controls have a number property, which is why we should never set the name of a control to a number. "F3" or "3F" are OK. though.

Cards also have the number property. Same caveat, but you just: How did you do it without this? You can cut and paste cards cleverly, but that is not the best way at all.
