What happen the stack handlers "Open" and "PreOpen"?

[bogs]

I dunno, sure looks like it works here (LC 9.5 on nix). Open this, set the break point on the handler, then run the handler (green arrow on top of the debugger).

If your feeling super lazy, don't bother setting the breakpoint, I made sure you will either see a result or get a message when it runs

It is just crazy baby....

The problem isn't that the messages aren't firing. The OP describes the issue as the message names not appearing in the list of relevant messages in the left column of the Script Editor.

openStack and

preOpenStack both 'there'.

If that was directed at my post, I wasn't posting in response to the OP's post, but Richmond's, which said -

They just don't work, while preOpen and open in a card do.

Err . . . possibly the LiveCode 'thang' has become so complicated that loading
it into the memory means there is some sort of problem with doing stuff before the stack is displayed on screen.

Now, since I'm pretty sure just removing them from the 'prepared' left column didn't completely debilitate them, and as that stack (should* ) show they do in fact work, maybe Richmond will post a stack showing them *not* working, which truly would be bug report material, heh.

Richmond, are you looking at the list of handlers that appears when editing a card script, or a stack script? Both this OP and the report note that the openStack and preOpenStack messages are absent from the list when editing a stack script, as confirmed in the report by Panos.

[richmond62]

OK: you got me there: looking in cardScript.

Indeed: no sign in the stackScript.

And, Yes: never seen this before:

But "there it is" in the Documentation:

It does appear rather more restricted than openStack or preOpenStack.

Mind you; to be fair, startup is 'there' in the LC 8.1.10 Documentation.

Code: Select all

on preOpenStack
   put "preOpenStack fired" into fld "ff"
end preOpenStack

on openStack
   put "openStack fired" into fld "gg"
end openStack

All seems as it should be in 9.6.0 rc-2
