Nice, I didn’t know it would work on locked controls.
This app was originally for iOS so that was what caught me.
Thanks again,

Scripts can move locked controls, so you won't have to worry about that. If
the groups are shared (background groups) their content will move with them
and the script won't touch those buttons. It will also move card groups, so
you may need to check for the content controls in that case.

Hi Jacqueline,
Thanks for pointing out this routine.
I have some modifications I need to
make to it though.
I have to check to see if any items
are locked, and unlock them before
changing the location and then
re-lock them after the change.
The number of controls also includes
groups

Hi Bob,
I tried your suggestion. No luck on that.
I also tried not using a sub-stack and put
the menu in the normal stack on a different
card that I wasn’t using. It works fine in
the IDE but not in a standalone version.
In the standalone it keeps giving me the
default Menu instead of the one
Try referencing the card as well.
set the defaultMenubar to the long ID of group “MyMenuBar” of of card
of stack “MenuBarSubStack”

Hi Klaus,
What an excellent suggestion.
Copied my menubar to a card that I never use and pointed everything to that and
its associated scripts and this has now sorted the problem.
Named my Card “MenusAndImages”. Keep my button icons here as well.
Sorted.
Thanks for your help

Hi Klaus,
I found that:
set the defaultMenubar to group “MyMenuBar” of stack “MenuBarSubStack” (Does
not work.)
but
set the defaultMenubar to the long ID of group “MyMenuBar” of stack
“MenuBarSubStack” (works!)
Although when I create the standalone it stops working.
I think it is not

Hi Klaus,
This sounds like it could be a good solution.
Unfortunately after trying to do it several ways
I can’t seem to get it to work.
Could you be a little more specific about what
exactly you are doing? Are you setting the
defaultMenuBar with a script, or are you just checking
the
I'm going to have to give that a try. I have standard menus, with additional
menus depending on the module. I already have a script where I can add and
remove menus on the fly and reposition all the buttons, so it wouldn't be
difficult to set the menubar the way you are doing it, then add the
I do not have that problem. I have objects well into that space. I have a
status bar for displaying progress messages 9 pixels from the bottom of each
card. That being said, I do set the size of my windows by script when they
open, because I had an issue with it between Windows and Mac. Windows
I haven't needed to create menubars for some time, but this is how it has
always worked in the past:
LiveCode menus are objects that take up room at the top of a card. On
Windows, this is standard; menus appear at the top of each window. When the
same stack is run on a Mac, LiveCode pushes
Did you try turning "Set as stack menu bar" off and back on? When I do
that, the stack size changes.
Or you could do what Klaus mentioned.

This is fair enough but you still cannot put anything in the bottom 22 of a
visible card on screen.
Try dragging an object to the card and it will not allow you to place it in the
bottom 22 of the card (LC 9.0.1)
Thanks

Look at the 'effective' keyword in the dictionary
The effective rect of a stack includes the borders and titlebar. The
rect of a stack is just the interior size available for card and
controls.. The difference gives you the border sizes and titlebar sizes.
You can also use 'effective' with ofther
This all basically means you can’t place anything in the bottom 22 of the card.

This post is regard the use of Livecode on MacOS(LC 9.0.1)
When you set the height of this stack to 800 (for example)
The height of this card in the property inspector is 822 and is also returned
as 822 in script.
This seems to be as a result of the menubar position on none mac systems.
