A while back I created a Spinner standalone that listened for messages via
sockets. It worked quite well actually. I sent it commands to show and hide
itself, and start and stop the spinner, as well as text to display. Since it
was a standalone app it was not subject to the inline message queue.
this is the exact same thing I was experiencing a few years back which
got me away from even referring to the defaultStack. Or topStack for that

One small point on this: it doesn't matter since we're dealing with HC

Lockscreen only works within the current window, it doesn't apply to the
whole screen. Changing stacks will always show what's happening because LC
has to create a new window structure. The visibility isn't relevant per se
but drawing the new window is.
You can initialize the new stack before

So THAT is my problem!!! IS there any way to lock the screen to prevent card
changes from displaying? I use a method of encapsulating certain functionality
in the script of a particular card (my Database Setup card is a perfect

Hi Larry,
As well as the afore mentioned, all excellent comments, you can use the 'if
