I'm looking at some code written by an associate. As normal (to me)
it's a mainstack and a lot of substacks. I want to tinker with the
code, so I open the mainstack in the LC IDE, and immediately the
program starts to run, even though the Edit tool is active in the
toolbar rather than the Browse tool - it starts up and does stuff,
like the IDE does. I don't want that, I want the code to remain
entirely passive until I tell it to run!
How does a stack get into 'instant run mode' like that, and what can
I do to stop it? Is there some way of creeping up on it so that no
handler is executed?
Apparently, your associate coded something in one of the openXxxx
handlers to start execution. Those handlers run regardless of the IDE
mode. To achieve what you want, the code should check the environment
(look it up in the dictionary) and do not execute if it is
"development". If you want to be able to execute after all, to
simulate standalone execution, you may add checking whether the alt
key is down, and if it is down, execute regardless of the environment.
