Can't See A Visible Substack

[johnmiller1950]

Greetings All,

I am using LiveCode 9.6.9 (rc2) on an intel MacBook Pro. My stack has a button that shows/hides a substack used for my app settings. When I first created the substack, the "show/hide" feature worked fine. I quit LiveCode and came back to my project the next day. No matter what I do, I can't see the "Settings" substack. The message box says that it is visible and in a location where I ought to be able to see it. The height and width are correct, but the substack is not visible even though live code says that it is.

I have four (4) controls in this substack. I am able to send a "mouseUp" to each of them, and the scripts make the correct changes to the main stack.

I deleted the substack; created a new one; and it worked fine. I saved my project; quit LiveCode; and reopened it. The exact same thing happened again.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Is the substack open?

Try this in the Message Box:

Code: Select all

put the windows

Ah a newbie mistake. I forgot that closing LiveCode also closes all the sub stacks and that you have to open them. Thanks, Richard. You've made my day.

John.

You must learn this as soon as possible. You will never stop making newbie mistakes. Nobody does.

No, at 22 years working with LiveCode I NEVER make Newbie mistakes: that is because I am too busy making Goofy mistakes.

Richmond.

You would rather be a goof than a newbie???

Goofy means something different on my side of the pond to what is means on your side.

Over 'here' goofy means foolish, no more than that.

And most mistakes I make with LiveCode are goofy because, either:

1. I don't check the Dictionary first.

2. I assume that my logic is the same as the people at LiveCode central.
