Mainstack becomes Substack

[pascalh4]

Hi
yet another question.
In this code:

Code: Select all

create stack "F0" in stack "Outils de création"
   set the loc of stack "F0" to (450,300) 
   ask "donner un titre"
   if it=empty then exit to top
   put it into Nvar
   set the name of stack "F0" to ("F0" & "  " &  Nvar)  
   hide stack ("F0" & "  " &  Nvar) 

go to stack "Outils de création"
   create stack "F0"
   set the name of stack "F0" to ("F0" & "  " &  Nvar) 

If if I finish only these two lines, it's create a new MainStack

Code: Select all

go to stack "Outils de création"
   create stack "F0"

But if I write he third line

Code: Select all

set the name of stack "F0" to ("F0" & "  " &  Nvar)

then, in the project browser, Mainstack becomes Substack. But not in the stack "Outils de création"

Is this normal ?

Hi Pascal,

just force Livecode to do the right thing
...
go to stack "Outils de création"

## Every CREATEd stack is in fact a aminstack at first!
create stack "F0"

## Do this:
set the mainstack of stack "F0" to "Outils de création"
## et voila: Substack
...

Hi Klaus

I think I explained my question wrong.
To force and place a substack in mainstack I can do and there is no problem.

But I wonder why mainstack "F0" created, becomes independent substack when the name is changed (with the third line of code)

note the complete code create.
- A first substack "F0" renamed, in a first mainstack "outil de création" .
-and a new mainstack "F0" wich renamed, should always be a mainstack.

But it becomes substack (in the browser) without mainstack. Why?

It is impossible to have a New Mainstack that has the same name as the substack of a previous Mainstack?

I have absolutely no idea!

Not impossible, but this is asking for trouble! The engine cannot differ between two objects with the same name!
In other words: DON'T!

Ok
Well understood.

Thank you.

Hi Pascal,

after reading this a second time, I think this is just a display bug*** in the "Project Browser",
because there cannot be a SUBSTACK without a MAINSTACK!

***There ARE some bugs there!

Hi Klaus

Well, to check that I'll try to continue my project (as there will be several new substack, maybe it will come back in order.

I will try.
