Trevor, The error is
winxp the Microsoft .."has encountered an problem and need to close. We are sorry for the incovenience...etc. Please tell microsoft about this problem etc" win98 & 95 "This program has peformed an illegal operation and will be shut down" The shutdownrequest, closestackrequest etc. all get received OK and the handler runs until it reaches the answer box. In any case this problem occurs even if you make an empty stack, with a handler that just has the answer box, to deal with the close from the taskbar. I have tried setting the iconic to true, but of course the answer box is still in the same handler. I could probably just set the iconic to true which would force the user to close the stack from the menu or the close box. They might think it is a bit strange when they close from the taskbar and then the stack opens up. But there doesn't seem to be any other way out. This is obviously some kind of weird bug that nobody has noticed before. As far as I can tell it doesn't happen in 2.5 (I don't know about 2.2) Pat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trevor DeVore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "How to use Revolution" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2004 6:00 PM Subject: Re: Desperately seeking help. iconify. uniconify. close from task bar. answer. ms reportable error? > On Jul 31, 2004, at 12:27 AM, Pat Trendler wrote: > > > Thanks Trevor, > > > > Yes you understand right.
