can anyone explain what code is used to bring a window to the front? I have a data grid row I double click on that opens up a new card
but for some reason i guess because of the double click the new card that opens up actually ends up behind the datagrid window.
how can i bring it to the front when it opens up? I dont need to keep it on top permanently just for the initial period when it opens.

Hi Jesse,

Once a stack is open already, the go command brings a stack to front.

Try something like this:

Thanks Mark. I tried your suggestion unfortunately it did not work
I clicked the row in the data grid and the new window opened but still feel behind the datagrid. any other ideas?

I was able to figure it out finally, I think... It appears I was using the wrong command in the datagrid script.
I was using mouseDoubleDown but should have been using mouseDoubleUp.

Try something like this:

Code: Select all

on mouseDoubleUp
  send "openInFront" to me in 0 millisecs
end mouseDoubleUp

on openInFront
  go stack "Whatever the name is"
end openInFront

Hi there i am interested why you illustrated the code above like you have.

Why cant that just be: Any little tips like this will serve me well in learning live code.

Kind regards Gary.
