Opening a substack

Post by DougN » Sat Jul 02, 2011 6:27 pm

Hi,

I'm trying to open a substack in a smaller window on top of my main window in iOS. What's happening is that the substack is taking over the whole window. Is there support for a superimposed window in iOS? Here are some images:

Main stack / substack (on the Mac):

What happens on iOS (simulator):

And my substack settings:

Thanks!
Doug

Hi Doug,

other that desktop apps, the iOS is a ONE-window environment,
that means you can only have one stack open at at time.

So you could/should use different cards for your app-design
and/or use a group to "fake" a custom dialog.

Thank you Klaus.

I decided to go with the sub-stack, and accept that it will take over the whole window. Knowing that constraint helps a lot in the design process.

Best,
Doug
