I am trying to write a script (Win32 2.3.1) that will close a mainstack and
all of its substacks so I can open a fresh copy of the mainstack. Some of
the substacks are palettes, some have no decorations and the rest are
topLevel. I have placed my script in the closeStack handler of the
mainStack ("Low"). I have enabled "Destroy window on close" and "Destroy
stack on close" for the mainStack and its substacks to make sure that when
it closes no vestiges of the old stack are left. It looks like this
(debugging "waits" are sprinkled throughout):
on closeStack
if the short name of this stack is not "Low" then exit closeStack
put "Closing Low stack"
wait 2 seconds
repeat for each line stkname in the subStacks of stack "Low"
put the mode of stack stkname into stkmode
put "Mode of " & stkname && "is" && stkmode
wait for 2 seconds
switch stkmode
case 0
# Unopened stack
wait for 2 seconds
break
case 1
close stack stkname
break
case 4
lock screen
set the style of stack stkname to none
toplevel stkname
hide stack stkname
close stack stkname
unlock screen
break
default
wait for 2 seconds
end switch
end repeat
end closeStack
Even with this script some times some of the stacks remain opened as
determined by the openStacks property. It seems that stacks with no
decorations and palette stacks need some kind of special handling. Any
suggestions as to what I can try would be appreciated.
