Two Iconic Problems

Hi everybody,
I'd be thankful if I get the solutions of these two problems. I made a stack using rev 2.8.1 and put the following script for it -
Code: Select all
on preOpenstack
set the loc of this stack to the screenloc
set the iconic of this stack to true
end preOpenstack
on iconifyStack
hide this stack
set the icon to 1003
set the iconmenu to "About" & return & "Quit"
pass iconifyStack
end iconifyStack
on iconmenuPick theItem
if theItem is "About" then answer "This is created by me"
else if theItem is "Quit" then quit
end iconmenuPick
i) the 1st problem is that, after making the stack iconic, it shows both "About" and "Quit" button in the taskbar; but only "About" btn works, not the "Quit" btn. Why?
ii) the 2nd problem is that, though i set the loc of that stack to the screenloc, it answers the dialog message at the top left corner of the screen after clicking btn "About", not in the center screen. Why?
Thanks in advance.

Try this:
Code: Select all
on iconifyStack
hide this stack
set the icon to 1003
set the iconmenu to "About" & cr & "Quit"
pass iconifyStack
end iconifyStack
on iconmenuPick theItem
switch theItem
case "About"
answer "About"
break
case "Quit"
answer "Quit"
break
default
end switch
end iconmenuPick

Thanks RRobert,
I just copy n paste your script into my stack. The "About" btn answers fine but the "Quit" btn still doesn't answering. Why?

alemrantareq, try putting a breakpoint before the line "switch theItem" to see what value 'theItem' contains (maybe it is " Quit" or "Quit ".
Alternatively, if you don't know what breakpoints are, you could just write this line before the switch begins:
put length(theItem) into msg
That way you will see if there are more than 4 characters when 'Quit' has been selected.

Sorry guys,
Actually I failed to figure out the main problem. The main problem is that, after minimizing, the first pick item whether its "About" or "Quit", works nicely; but when I right click on the icon and choose the other one, it doesn't work. That means if I first select "Quit", it answers nicely. And then if I select "About", it not works. Similarly, if I select "About" first, it works but "Quit" not. I've given a breakpoint but it not working. Pls, help me.

You should try Rev 3.5.0 (you could try the trial), so we know if it is a 2.8.1 issue or a issue with the code.
