Problems with Inspector and Script Editor

Post by Tiger6920S » Wed Jan 18, 2012 11:28 pm

Hi everybody!

I've got a question... I was writing a program for my pharmacy and suddenly (I don't know, what I did...) the inspector and the script buttons are disabled. I also cannot use the edit tool, it just behaves like this programm is a standalone application.
I also tried to close the stack and open it again, but without an effect.
When I open other stacks or new stacks, then I have no problems.

Can anyone help?
Thx

Might try

toplevel stack "stackname"

On the off chance that the stack has been set to a system window, or a palette, or something of that nature. Or double click it in the app browser.

Also, you might try checking "suppress messages" from the Development menu before you try opening the stack. There might be something in an openstack handler that is messing things up.

Aaah, I fixed it. I could Open the Property Inspector in the App browser for my stack and there was the inspector locked.

Thank you very very much for your help!
