LiveCode Forums.

Hey Guys,
I get the occasional problem when working with modal dialogs. My buttons just seem to close the stack down, due to errors in my script. The only thing I can do is force quit LiveCode rectify the script and then try again hoping script works. In force quitting LiveCode I'm concerned that I will eventually corrupt my file.

Does anyone know of a keyboard shortcut or a technique which will allow me gracefully close down the offending stack without me having to force quit and restart LiveCode?

Many thanks
Jalz

Hi jalz,

Either I start coding a *non* modal dialog and when I'm sure of my code, change it to modal,
or I set up an extra "in development" button which only close the modal dialog, and remove it at the end. And I can't say when I'm choosing one or the other

My 2 cents,

Thierry

Hi Jalz,

what Thierry said

and have a look at this thread which was started by a certain Jalz

especially near the end what Jaque said.

Also of course you can add a button during development "close this stack" as an emergency exit.

Kind regards

Hi Guys,

Yes thanks, your right regarding my last thread. I think i shall create a button just solely to close stack for dev purposes and remove it once im happy with the code.

Cheers
