Good idea, though any off-screen stuff sometimes makes changing things later a bit difficult. Like - where is this thing? Joe Lewis Wilkins Architect & Director of Product Development for GSI On Dec 13, 2010, at 9:33 AM, Bob Sneidar wrote: > I think this could be easily resolved by changing t

Hi Bob, That makes sense. I've rarely used any of the preopen gizzmos. If I need to i'll give this a try. Joe Lewis Wilkins Architect & Director of Product Development for GSI On Dec 13, 2010, at 9:34 AM, Bob Sneidar wrote: > Hi Joe. On preopencard lock the screen, then call your resize func

Hi Bob, I've resorted to an openStack handler in each of the different stacks. It's a little jumpy under the IDE, but I expect that will improve in the standalone. I gave up on Windows a long time ago. I keep hoping it'll disappear, but no such luck to date. M$ is much weaker without Gates' inv

Hi Joe. On preopencard lock the screen, then call your resize function. That should smooth things out. Bob On Dec 10, 2010, at 5:46 PM, Joe Lewis Wilkins wrote: > Thanks Jacque, I figured it had to be something like that, but your > suggestions are a big help. Methinks this whole method of h

I think this could be easily resolved by changing the engine. On Macs, the engine should move the menu bar to a location above the actual window, instead of change the size of the window, which is completely unintuitive. Backward compatibility be damned I say. It's like rotating the earth every

Hi Joe. I suspect you have a menu assigned to the card. There is a long standing issue with custom menus. Livecode treats the height of the card as the actual height minus the menu (were it visible). Odd I know, but I think they do this to maintain compatibility with Windows, which puts a menu o

Thanks Jacque, I figured it had to be something like that, but your suggestions are a big help. Methinks this whole method of handling menus should be reanalyzed and made a bit easier. I know this is tough, but this situation is a major hurdle for us coders to overcome. Come to think of it, I gu

I did have some weird problems associated with menu bars a few months ago which were never resolved. I defined a set of menus for my main stack and set the option for them to be displayed in the Mac menu bar not the stack window. After that, every time I ran my application my main stack w

Thanks Peter. What is driving me crazy, though, is the changing of the stack height as I go from card to card. No rhyme or reason for that and JUST started happening. I've been working on this project for over two months now. At one point I did have the resizable check box set, but I've changed
