I was going to say "check your substacks" because I once suffered a crash during the build process (restrictions had been added to my computer, so it couldn't write something to where it needed to) and the cursors stack had been added to my mainStack and saved. I just had to go and delete the substa...

I thought "idempotent" may have been a typo until I looked it up.

Good word! Every day is a school day.

I've encountered this before, not with LiveCode, but with Excel. It seems that resolving paths where a remote desktop is being used causes a lot of trouble. Some other software I use cannot be run from any remotely hosted folder for the same reason and, because it writes files to its own directory, ...

It allows you to encrypt any visible stack files in the executable to stop prying eyes opening them up as text documents and seeing your code.

Thanks yet again. :) As expected, locking the screen didn't help. Fortunately, the students aren't expected to interact with the notes very often, so the flicker they experience is minor to the point of being trivial. I'm just a bit of a perfectionist. Unfortunately, I'm having to mimic someone else...

I hadn't as I didn't think that lock screen affected stacks, only their contents.

Still, it's worth a pop, isn't it?

Hi Craig,

Yes - I've used resumestack to trap the event, cycle through the palette windows (I've made them all mainstacks) and quickly bring them to the fore whilst retaining the focus in the mainstack. There is only a mild flicker as the windows draw, which is acceptable.

Thanks,


Steve

Thanks Klaus. Hmmm. I can bring the little notes windows to the front fairly easily. It's keeping them there that's proving to be tricky! However, it also seems that depending on how I bring the notes to the front, they will stay there. Palette seems to present the windows without the main stack los...

Hello everyone, I've almost finished my project and am now scratching my head over window layering. My project needs to have its main window float above another application, which is some exam software that runs in kiosk mode. Half of the exam software's window is redundant (the practice software th...

Ah yes. I think I remember reading this some time ago.

Thanks for everybody's help here. if I refactor the code, this is the approach I'll take.

Thanks Jacque. Yes, the mouseDown handler contains a repeat while the mouse is down loop, which it uses to toggle between two visual states of the tile. I seem to remember something like this from back when I wrote DataTree all those years ago. I think wait with messages somewhere in the code should...

It's a strange one. There are no mouseUps in the buttons themselves, nor in the group they're a part of, nor at the card and stack levels.

It's a fairly simple stack, really.

Hi Craig, Thanks for this. I've tried with both my mouse and trackpad and, in the Message Watcher, I can see all of the mouse events fire except for MouseUp, on the occasions I mention. Seems strange that I can have a mouseDown but no associated mouseUp. What I have now found is that if the mouseUp ...

Hello everyone, This seems a trifle strange. My user interface requires some large tiles down the left of the screen, which trigger the display of various panels of information to the right. The tiles are comprised of some graphics with a transparent button overlaid to capture mouse events. Upon mou...

Thanks again!
