I have been working on a project for a month now, and it is due very soon.
I save the file, no problem. Closed the app. It looked like this:
Get home, relaunch. Looks like this:
the code for the cards is intact, but there are buttons missing.. and this is across ALL the cards...!!!
I need help, or I am horribly screwed.
Why is there no version control for this?

Dear TheBigDuck,
What exactly are the differences between home and not home?
Best regards,
Mark

Your controls are probably not gone (you can verify this using the application browser), but the 'vscroll' of the stack may be off. Use the message box to
and
Code: Select all
set the vScroll of this stack to 0
if it's some large number.
HTH,
Jan Schenkel.

Hi Jan,
That's impossible, the vScroll of a stack cannot be set. The vScroll changes when you toggle the editMenus property.
Best,
Mark

Have you set any geometry on the objects with the Geometry Manager and resized the card at all?
It could be that the controls are all still there, but due to GM positioning issues their loc has been set to some haywire place off the visible card.

Hmm, I didn't recall that the vScroll of a stack was read-only, Mark. My memory tricked me into thinking I had changed the scroll back in my HyperCard days, but as I have the memory of a goldfish...
