Controlling IDE Windows

[jpottsx1]

Is it possible to have all IDE windows come forward when I select the LiveCode menubar. I'm going nuts always having to bring window after window forward in order to work on.

Hi Jeff,

Would it help if you activate the backdrop?

In your message box, I think you can set the raisewindows to true and then it will behave as you wish. IE no interleaving of non-ide windows.

Code: Select all

set the raisewindows to true

Well all right!
Sturgis Rocks!

Been wanting to do that forever.

Had a quick look thru the Preferences in LiveCode but didn't find it.
Unless its worded differently.

Actually, its not a preference as far as I know, its a property you can set that will affect your apps. But since livecode is made with livecode, setting it while in the IDE has the desired affect.

Great for stopping interleave in a multiwindow app.

Its in the dictionary along with its cousins, raisepalettes and raisemenus

Acknowledged!

Can't tell you how much more comfortable the LiveCode IDE is with this setting turned on.

Brilliant!

This command doesn't last between LiveCode sessions.

But sturgis, an absolute champ, has posted and tested a way to setup a plugin for raiseWindows.

LOL. Now thats the kind of content I'm looking for!
