App quits immediately after startup

[hbrewster]

on openCard I did some work and put a short delay and then the "quit" command
When I open the stack for development it immediately goes to run mode and quits
How do I open the application for development only

[RRobert]

Tick Messages in the Toolbar to prevent that the openCard message is being sent and open the stack.

In general you could use something like:

Code: Select all

if the environment = "development" then
   close this stack
else
   quit
end if

But how do I open the stack in development mode
It always starts up in run mode and executes my script and quits

[RRobert]

Main Menu - Tools - Pointer Tool or you click on the arrow with the small cross in the Tools palette.

can't open stack

create a test stack with this code

on openCard
wait 2000 milliseconds
quit
end openCard

save the stack and exit then try to open it again. It will wait 2secs and shutdown

[RRobert]

Start RunRev - Tick Messages - Open your stack.

I pasted your code into a empty stack and it works. The openCard message will not be fired if Messages are disabled.

I was trying some old Windows tricks like holding down shift key and other combinations without any luck.
