Hi there,
can I use multiple Stacks for a mobile App or only one Stack with multiple cards?

Hi DevBoyLars,
In my apps I have to show tools, preference card etc...
You can create a group with controls of different types. You can show/hide, move etc.. like a unque control
And visual effects are better if you use groups instead stacks
Best regards

Hi DevBoyLars

Whilst you can use multiple stacks only one can be displayed at a time and will be displayed full screen

In our program we use multiple stacks, but whilst one stack is shown and never changed, all the content exists on the other stacks and is copied in when it is needed and deleted when it isn't

hope this helps
