Substacks

Hello

We have an application that make use of substacks and we want them not to be shown in Windows as independent tasks on the taskbar. In other words we want to hide them on the taskbar. This, because we may have several simultaneous substacks and we want just one task to be shown.

Is this possible?

Thanks
Andres

Hi Andres,

Yes, just hide them. See the hide command.

Best,

Mark

Andres, that wasn't clear to me. Have you tried setting the style of the windows to modeless?

Sorry about my ignorance, but what is modeless?

Hello Mark

Hi,

It seems I never replied this one.

You can set the style of a stack to modeless. You can also go to a stack as modeless.

To change the style, execute this in the message box:

set the style of stack "Your Stack" to modeless

To open a stack as a modeless stack without changing its style permanently, use the following in a script:

go stack "Your Stack" as modeless

Best,

Mark
