Hello,

It's very basic question.. how to set the stack to a substack of a mainstack?

Thanks in advance,

If you have 2 main stacks open, you can set one to be the substack in the property inspector.

Presto chango!
If you have 1 mainstack open, and want a substack of it, you can do that from the file menu....

A pleasure Jellobus, but I forgot to mention that you can also do this from the message box or code, for instance:

Code: Select all

set the mainstack of the mousestack to "Untitled 1"
Just type 'stack' into the dictionary, I'm sure you'll get the drift :D
