Ken and Malte, Thanks for the suggestions. Malte--Your suggestion works well. Thanks. As you say it is a bit of a hack. Ken--I was referring to the stack that opens in response to the RR "Answer" command. Is it possible to set a preopencard handler in that stack? But using a modal stack as y

Re: lc shell and command line

Guys, As far as I know, you can't ask for the user password and pass it to a shell call with clever use of pipes. That is not how sudo works, you can't: cat password.txt | sudo cd .. or sudo cd .. < password.txt The only way I found to script sudo calls is by using expect ( http://www.nist.

Re: Location of dialog box

Addendum to my last post in this thread: I have used this approach for dialog stacks with the added "newloc" property in many of my stacks, e.g. look at the scripts of buttons "Store image 1" and "Store image 2" in my stack "seamless tiles".

Re: DataGrid Speed

If you use dgText, the datagrid library will create the array internally, 6 one way half a dozen the other, except that the datagrid library knows how to do it right. But if you have an array already, then using dgData is of course quicker. Bob On Nov 13, 2011, at 10:30 AM, Michael Doub wrot

Re: DataGrid Speed

I think I understood him to say he would build his own array and then populate using dgData. My personal preference, once I understood what datagrids did with arrays, is to always use arrays when I can. sqlYoga returns datagrid compatible arrays, so you can get a data set through a query, and th

Making an existing stack a substack of another

Hi all. I am doing things bass ackwards as usual. I created my main application stack, and now I want to create a splash stack and make my main application a substack of that. I know about the popup menu in the Stack Properties. I set that to the splash stack in my main application stack, then s

Making an existing stack a substack of another

Never mind I found the command. You set the substacks of the splash stack to a list of the substacks you want. Odd that the menu option does not work though. Seems that is still a bug. Bob > Hi all. I am doing things bass ackwards as usual. I created my main > application stack, and now I w

Confused about substacks

Hi all. I am a bit confused now. I created a new stack, saved it, made it a substack of my splash stack. No problemo. I can see the substack on the hard drive, I can see the substack in the application browser as a substack of my splash stack. BUT THEN... I right clicked my splash stack in t

Re: Confused about substacks

Hi Bob, When you turn a mainstack into a substack of another mainstack, that substack becomes part of the stackfile containing the mainstack. In effect the stackfile containing the former mainstack is "orphaned". Usually I just get rid of these orphaned stackfiles to avoid confusion. Bottom l

Re: Confused about substacks

Assuming you are doing this so that you can save your stack file, yes. When you make a stack a substack, I do believe it incorporates it all together. However, there is a setting in the standalone builder that avoids this when you build a standalone. Its under the stacks heading, "move substacks in

Not exactly that, but all of the elements of what you said. I did wirelessly download several apks to the Fire by touching the url to the apk in an email message. As with all Android devices, that downloaded and installed the app. You do have to go to settings to allow installs of apps from pla

Re: Confused about substacks

Oic. Because if they are substacks of the splash stack then they are part of the standalone and therefore not editable. That makes sense. I think I am misusing substacks then. I should just make them individual stacks on the hard drive. The goal is to have multiple editable forms open at the sam

Re: Confused about substacks

Correction. You cannot go to a card in a new window. The command will ignore the new window and just go to the card in the existing window. That would be a nice feature enhancement for having multiple windows open on a single stack. Bob > Thanks Devin I think I understand now. I am going to a

Re: Confused about substacks

Probably what will work is to make a stackrunner type of splash stack with any libraries etc included. Then you can have your real stack with its substacks be opened by the splash. As long as the right support stuff is included the splash you can "go stack.." and it should be fine, and the splashs
