List of substacks

[D4vidrim]

Hi,
is there a way to get a list of all opened substack?

My problem is that sometimes I open a substack and its location goes wrong so that it opens outside the visible screen.
I think its a bug on the engine (it's a random issue and I never change size or location of any substacks/cards).

I'd like to tell to all the substacks to be on the screen.

Thanks

HI D4vidrim,

you can get a list of all open stacks with:
...
put the openstacks into tListOfOpenStacks
...
Will give you a CR delimited list of the names of all open stacks.
But you need to check if they are main- or substacks by yourself, if neccessary at all.

There is a "subStacks" property. See the dictionary.

I prefer this solution using the menu: Tools -> Application browser

Do you have more than one monitor?

Do you have more than one monitor?

Yes, I do. I compile my app on a computer with 2 monitors.
But the problem rises with the standalone randomly on other computers too (with one monitor).

Is the solution for this to put

Code: Select all

set the loc of this stack to the screenLoc

in each stack (pre/openStack)

or did I get it all wrong again?
