I am trying to open a project i saved on windows and when i open the project the tools menu and the upper menu won't open with it, just the project card.

Can someone please help?

Hi.
Sure they are not just off-screen? Try something like this:

Code: Select all

 set the topLeft of stack "RevMenubar" to "100,100"
  set the topLeft of stack "revTools" to "100,300"

They may have become invisible somehow.

On Windows press CTRL-M to bring up the Messge Box and type:

Code: Select all

set the vis of stack "revMenubar" to true

then hit the RETURN/ENTER key, and the do this:

Code: Select all

set the vis of stack "revTools" to true

AND hit the RETURN/ENTER key.

Thanks for your advice, but when I hit CTRL+M the message box does not open, nothing happens.
What should I do?

Hi,
Message Box is a stack, you may use same way

Code: Select all

set the loc of stack "Message Box" to the screenloc

With the message box?

This is all getting a bit circular.

UNFORTUNATELY there is no way that I can see to create a new stack with key-commands, followed by a button.

IF that were possible it should be possible to open the script of that button and use that to issue commands to
make the IDE stacks visible.

Come to think of things . . . it is a bit silly that CTRL-N is not 'there' for a new, default stack,
and something like CTRL-B for a new button.

Try CTRL-O to open an existing stack and then hack a button there . . .

Something funny going on here. Do you have any stack at all visible on screen? If so, make a button and see what happens with:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
if there is a stack "RevTools" then answer the loc of  stack "RevTools"
else answer "No such stack"
end mouseUp

Hi,

you may as well trying to rename your preferences file - LC occasionally corrupts it.
This is a bug as old as LiveCode itself ;-)

You'll find it here:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\RunRev\Preferences\livecode7.rev

Have fun!

Resetting the preferences by deleting the preference file on my computer solved the problem.
Thanks for your help!
