App won't maximize
I built a program and then made it into a stand alone app. As part of building the program I opened the Stack Property Inspector and in the Basic Properties window clicked on Controls. The Title Bar Controls I used are: Title, menu, minimize. I wanted the app to be able to be minimized when I wasn’t using it. Then, as an app I tried to minimize it, which it did nicely, but when I wanted to maximize it again it would not maximize. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: App won't maximize
Hi,
What kind of window are you trying to minimize/maximize (toplevel/modal/modeless/palette)? What exactly do you do to maximize the app? What do you click on? Which operating system do you use and which version? Do you have any scripts running while or after the app maximizes? Do you have any additional relevant info?
Kind regards,
Mark

Re: App won't maximize
Hi Mark,
I apologize for not replying sooner. I got sick and had to have extensive surgery, but I'm better now. To answer your questions, I'm using the standard TopLevel stack, the one that is automatically created when one clicks on "New Mainstack" in the file menu; it's the default stack which is TopLevel. When I click, I click on the yellow minimize dot in the upper left corner and to maximize it I click on the app icon in the dock, but of course it doesn't maximize. I am running Yosemite 10.10.4 on a Mac desktop and using the commercial version of LiveCode 7.0.6. With regard to "...scripts running while or after the app maximizes" I don't know what you mean by "running while" and of course, once the app is maximized I use the program, so there are scripts running after it maximizes. I hope this info is sufficient to help figure out what is going on. I thank you in advance for any help you can give.
Sincerely,
Dan
