LiveCode Forums.

hi, my livecode stack has some cards in it and now i encountered a problem when i move across card the stack size change and it is really annoying, only now has this problem arisen, any ides on how to lock the stack size for good (the "resizable" box is not checked)
thanks!

If the resizable box is not checked then the only reason
I can think of is that somewhere in your stack there is
code which is resizing it.

Did you add a menu bar? If you're on a Mac the size will change depending whether the card contains the menubar or not.

when i move across card the stack size change

Do you mean when you move the cursor across the card?

when i move across cards for example a button with script "go to card info".
but it doesn't happen every time, that's what i can't understand, it seems random, i don't know...

Sounds like you don't have a menu bar. On a Mac, if you use a custom menu bar, the stack will shrink so that the menus are at the top of the screen like all Mac apps. On Windows and Linux the menu bar shows at the top of the stack instead of at the top of the screen. If you didn't create a custom menu for your app then that's not the reason.

A screenshot of a normal-sized card and a differently-sized card might help us identify the problem. The only thing I know of that would cause a size change is if there is a menu bar on a card and you're on a Mac.

Hi, sorry but:

Do you mean when you navigate from one card to another? Jacque's concern about custom menus would not apply unless each card changed the existence of such a menu.

Craig

I believe he does mean card navigation, and placing a menu on only one card happens more often than you'd think. It's natural to think that a menu only needs to be placed once. But I'm still not sure whether there's a menu bar involved in this case.

The OP keeps posting extremely cryptic things; it would be better for them, as well as
all the rest of us if they gave us more information each time.

yes

card size = stack size!

If your cards change size during browsing, then there must be some scripts that do so!
