Still having trouble with a standalone to Windows. I know what's wrong but I'm
not sure how to debug it. The program loads, the substacks work in the menubar
and the navigation buttons all work, and some of the images grouped over the
buttons also show but not all. The background images seem to show on the "open
card" but then disappear. I'm sure it's a path problem but I'm not sure how to
solve it. I'm running the Windows XP on VM Fusion and I'm a real newby on
Windows after 30 yrs on Macs.
I modified Francis code as follows:
put the platform into GVHoldPlatform
if GVHoldPlatform = "MacOS" then
put "misippfiles/" into GVStackPath -- No leading drive on the Mac.
end if
if GVHoldPlatform = "Win32" then
-- System 7 patch to ensure using the Systems Disk for "StackPath"
on PC's
put item 1 of specialfolderpath("system") & "/misippfiles/"into
GVStackPath-- Get Stack Path with Disk ID.
replace "WINDOWS/" with empty in GVStackPath -- Remove Windows
Folder Name.
end if
but I'm not sure how to see the results in the Windows program. TheGVStackPath
seems to work in some parts of the script but not in others. I'll appreciate
any suggestions.
Also a second minor problem -How do I increase the font size in the menu bar in
the Windows program?
