Re: Determining if Stack is Visible

2008-05-22 Thread Steven Axtell

Ken,

Thanks for the additional information.

Steve



One other approach I've used is:

 if ("My Stack" is among the lines of the windows) and \
(the vis of stack "My Stack" is true) then
   -- stuff goes here
 end if

You can use "the openStacks" instead of "the windows" - it's the same 
thing

(although "windows" is 2 less characters to type than "openStacks").

Steve:


if visible of stack "substack" is true then


should be 

Visible is a property, so you have to use the word "the" before it.

Steve,

A stack can be closed or open. A stack can also be visible or not  
visible. So it is possible that the visible property of a stack is  
true, but if that stack is closed it will still not be "seeable".  
Conversely, a stack may be open but have its visible property set to  
false. In that case it's also not "seeable". In the case of a stack  
you might have to say something like:


if the visible of stack "substack" AND the long id is among the lines  
of the stacks then

  -- do stuff
end if

Or alternatively:

go to stack "substack"
if the visible of stack "substack" then
  -- do stuff
end if

A minor style note: since the visible property always resolves to  
true or false, the following two conditional statements are identical:


if the visible of stack "substack" is true then
if the visible of stack "substack" then

Hope this helps.

Devin

"visible" property is used to make the object visible or invisible  
but cannot be used to determine if the object is visible.  I know

wild guess: Maybe you mean visible = open and visible on screen?

In that case you could check:
...
if "name of stack" is in the openstacks then
 ## your stuff here...
end if
...

Hi Steve,

Maybe the visible of your stack is false? ;-)

I think the problem is somewhere else in you code.
