Thanks for your replies ... Dar, Richard, Jan.... I have a stack that contains a field.. what happens in the field is called from a library stack that is loaded in the preOpen stack handler...
What I want to happen is that the backgroundColor of the field will change depending on whether or not the stack is 'suspended'... I have a 'suspendStack' and a 'resumeStack' handler in the library stack to handle the change of colour... All works fine if I run the stack as a standalone ... All works fine in the IDE except for the first click in the field when the stack has first opened, for some reason the colour of the field when first 'clicking' into it changes the colour to the suspended colour ... all subsequent clicks after the first one and everything is fine... So, the reason for me asking 'Which stack called the library stack' was that I was hoping I could trap for which stack was suspended or not and handle it that way... regards John Dixon > Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 14:25:42 -0700 > From: janschen...@yahoo.com > To: use-revolution@lists.runrev.com > Subject: Re: Which stack called the library stack ? > > --- On Fri, 9/24/10, John Dixon <dixo...@hotmail.co.uk> wrote: > > > > How can I find out which stack called a library stack from > > the script of the library stack ? > > > > thanks... > > > > John Dixon > > > > Are you wondering which script issued the 'start using' command?
