In an app, the mainstack is the home stack. If it's closed and no other stack is open then the app will quit. But if you open a substack, the app can't quit because the substack is part of the stackfile but the mainstack is still marked as closed. So the trick is not to close the mainstack, just hide it instead when you open the substack. When you close the substack, show the mainstack.

At least, that's what I think is happening.

Thanks for the tip but still no good.

So button in “xyz” substack with close stack “xyz” still closes all ?

Hi,

did you try close stack "xyz" ? Thias works for me, in the IDE at least, both if called from the mainstack and from the substack. Only the substack is closed.

Livecode 9.6.7 and Windows 10


Hope this helps

Hi ,

New to substacks - I have a “mainstack” used as a menu page for 2x “substacks”

When “substacks” opened from “mainstack” they open fine using — go to stack “xyz”

The problem is closing of the “substacks” using - close stack, go to “mainstack” or close this stack it always closes (quit) everything. Need “mainstack” to reappear/remain ?

Looked at docs and other posts. But stuck no doubt I have missed something.

Livecode 9.6.6 and Win 10

Regards
Cam
