Docking Redux
Ok, my docking scripts work pretty good but I need a way of telling the menu stacks what stack to dock to. I.E. If a user opens the LeaseStack from the sideMenu stack, then I need to set the docking stack to LeaseStack. If the user opens a NamesSetup stack from the sideMenu, then I need to change the docking stack to "NamesSetup" Currently: When you open "LeaseStack" or "NamesSetup" from the sideMenu, it stores the name of the stack in a custom property of a button. I have two custom properties: the stack currently being docked to, and the stack that was docked before the current one. I need the previous docked stack to be in a property, because I have a stack that opens as modal when it is toggled to be visible. This is like a message flag window (if a payment is overdue, etc) and is to be the first stack besides menus that open with the program. At any time the user needs to be able to toggle this message flag window as visible and dockable and automatically untoggle what was visible and docked. When pushing the toggle button again, it needs to switch back to whatever the user was working on prior to the toggle. I just seem to be mucking up my attempts to do this gracefully. Can anyone recommend some logic that might accomplish what I need? Am I barking up the wrong trees with custom properties? -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Docking-Redux-tp1597272p1597272.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Docking Redux
Hi Andrew, I don't know exactly what you are trying to do, but have you checked out the getProp and setProp control statements in the Dictionary. These allow you to do things based on custom properties being manipulated.

Re: Docking Redux
I figured out a pretty decent way of doing it. I might revise it to include the get/setProp method, as this seems rather elegant compared to custom properties and a button full of handlers. Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Docking-Redux-tp1597272p1599784.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
