The stack opens. But the Revolution IDE does not like that I have
standard stacks installed in the stack. (For ease of Standalone
building, a long time ago I installed custom versions of Ask,
Answer, Message etc. in the stack so that I would not have to
import them every time I built a standalone.) The Message box in
particular gives it fits. I could not determine whether my
password protections were still in place. (The Message Box errors
seemed to override most of what I tried to experiment with.)
Hi Shari,
When I need the standard stacks in my standalones, I make copies of
them and include the copies as substacks of my splash stack. Then on
startup, I rename the stacks with:
if not(there is a stack "xxx") then set the name of stack "copy of
xxx" to "xxx"
This also makes a way for me to customize the appearance or behavior
of the standard stacks so they fit with my application.
But I'm curious, when would you need the message box in a finished
application? Rev's message box, with its extra features, would hardly
be suitable, though MetaCard's plain ole box would I suppose be more
neutral.
