Bring window to front on desktop
Anyone solved how to bring a stack window to the top on the desktop after a file dragDrop? 1. drop files 2. bring stack window to top on desktop (ie. in front of the OS source drag window) 3. show a modal answer dlog 4. carry on What happens is that the source OS window can obscure the modal answer dlog so it looks as if the program has hung. Actually there is a window waiting to be clicked! Tried these before showing the modal: - Focus on/ go/ etc do not change the overall window layering. - Set the style to modeless, but the window runs through its openstack routine even with 'lock messages', and is still not layered on top anyway. - Temporarily setting the systemWindow of the stack to true works, but it then obscures the modal so user is locked out. I have looked in the archives for a Mac/Win solution and didn't find anything, except that others have had a problem also. MSWord does it, so it must be do-able (perhaps an external would be needed for LiveCode?).

The refresh of the data is took in care when you set new datas with the dgText or dgData properties. However in some case, when the indexes are not properly set, reset the datagrid with a resetList could result of an empty dg. If the indexes are empty, the problem could be the preOpenControl of the datagrid was not executed. You can check the indexes by using the dgIndexes property of a datagrid. 2) Try to populate the dg with the pFirstLineContainsHeaders parameter set to false. When set to true the data will be mapped by matching the names of the column in the datagrid and the first line of the data. If by setting the pFirstLineContainsHeaders to false, you get data, this could be a problem in the columns names.

Inside the IDE everything works perfectly. I've tried to set the columns names first but after the app is built it hangs when setting the dgText. I've tried every combination of syntax with no success. The datagrid template stack is not encrypted or password protected, neither is it a substack of an encrypted or password protected stack. Before setting the dgText I did put an answer itemListWithTitle and itemListWithTitle contained the right data. adding an answer dgindexes... shows that indexes are empty, but only in the built application. What's strange is that it is working in the IDE and only there. And the same thing happens with version 4.0.0 and 4.5.1. I don't understand what's happening.

I don't think you can direct where the button goes, the dictionary says: Summary: Creates a new object on the current card. I believe you can get around this by placing a group on your card.

Thanks Mike. After checking your suggestions, I believe they all apply to stacks that will no longer be on the screen, rather than just being inactive.

Re: Can we set the color of an Apps title bar?
Nope, they can be on screen just fine. To do a quick test, create a stack, create a substack. In the main stack put: on resumeStack set the backgroundcolor of this card to red pass resumestack end resumeStack on suspendStack set the backgroundColor of this card to empty pass suspendstack end suspendStack Then click back and forth. Whichever stack you have at front will turn red. If you choose a different program entirely, both will turn white. The exception to this, I think do to the way the IDE works is that if you select an IDE stack (for example the script editor) then start clicking back adn forth, its possible to get both stacks red untill things sort themselves out. This shouldn't occur in a standalone. Obviously making the whole stack red might be a little garish, but is a quick easy example so you can see how it works.

Re: Can we set the color of an Apps title bar?
OK, Mike. I'll give it a try, but I was only trying to make the title bars different colors. Thanks, Joe Wilkins On Nov 14, 2010, at 8:14 PM, Mike Bonner wrote: Nope, they can be on screen just fine.

Whichever stack you have at front will turn red. If you choose a different program entirely, both will turn white. The exception to this, I think do to the way the IDE works is that if you select an IDE stack (for example the script editor) then start clicking back adn forth, its possible to get both stacks red untill things sort themselves out.

Re: Can we set the color of an Apps title bar?
Yeah, don't believe you can set the title bar directly, its set by OS, but if you were willing to roll your own then you could, or something simple like a home made focus border that changes based on suspendstack and resumestack would work. Unfortunately, pretty sure you can't affect the stock title bar. There is a change of color on my system, but its too subtle for my eyes to pick up easily. Gray, and slightly lighter gray, are all.. erm. Gray. To me. On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 9:43 PM, Joe Lewis Wilkins pepe...@cox.net wrote: OK, Mike.

Re: Can we set the color of an Apps title bar?
Mike, works pretty good once some of the more subtle colors are used. Some are pretty garish! (smile) Once again, thanks for your help.

Re: Create button script won't work - why?
Is there a way to directly create a button on a particular card in a particular stack without going to it and doing all this? The stack I want to create the button into is data stack that never gets viewed directly. In this case it will be data in the custom property of that button. You can only do this if you want to create the control in a group for some reason. It is a bit odd. It should be: create [invisible] type [name] [in group|card|stack] Where stack reference creates the control on the current card of the stack. But for some reason it doesn't work that way so stick to your script or create a group to create objects in.

Re: Create button script won't work - why?
Monte, Am I able to create a group on the new card? I don't see a syntax for that. Gee, it isn't looking like I'm going to be able to do what I want. Discouraging.

Re: Create button script won't work - why?
I had similar problems with copy and paste, and discovered there really seemed no way to do it without being on the card. I could copy from another card, but I had to be on the card I wanted to paste to. So I use lock screen to go there in secret. Now, I'm a very unsophisticated and simple person, and it is quite likely I don't understand why you don't want to go to the actual card, unless you have an on openCard handler you don't want to run right at that moment. But unless that is the case, this seems to work (again, I realize that I have probably oversimplified the situation and this might not be of any use to you at all): on mouseUp lock screen go to card Two create button Herb go to card One unlock screen end mouseUp It is still five lines instead of one though, I'm afraid. I made a little stack but I don't think I can upload it here. It worked though.
