Re: Can't add substack

Thanks Richard. Like I mentioned, I deleted the datagrid (thankfully there was only one) and it's template, set the mainStack of the (soon to be) sub stack, then pasted the datagrid. But this should be fairly easy to account for in whatever routine that makes an independent stack a substack of

Re: Can't add substack

Also of note, as I just discovered to my chagrin, is that a substack cannot have it's own stackFiles. That means any behaviors in the independent stack have to be reassociated once it becomes a sub stack. So I think those who intend to create substacks need to take all this into account. The

yes, but that would mean anyone who has added a datagrid to a stack wil not be able to make another stack it's mainStack! That can't be the expected behavior. Bob S > On Jan 17, 2020, at 11:45 , Klaus major-k via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi Bob, > >> Am 17.01.2020 um 20:40 schrieb Bob

Re: Can't add substack

Okay, I tricked it. I cut the datagrid, deleted the template when it asked, set the mainStack property, and pasted the datagrid. Still, how odd? If this is not happening to anyone else, it is possible that my customization to the datagrid library that allows for cascading behaviors might be

Further, when I try this from the message box, I get: Message execution error: Error description: Stack: can't set mainStack (has substacks?) Hint: I get the substacks of Time Calculator, and the onlt substack it is using is it's own Data Grid Templates. Bob S > On Jan 17, 2020, at 11:37 ,

Can't add substack

Hi all. I have 2 stacks open: Forms Generator and Time Calculator. I get the properties of stack Time Calculator and set the Main Stack property to Forms Generator. I save both stacks. I check the properties again, it didn't take. Ideas?? Bob S
