Re: Warn before quit - anyone?

[Karl Becker]

Does anyone else have any ideas as to why my stack would not be pausing when I want to display a dialog before a program quits once someone selects Quit from the menu? This is on OS X, too. I have not been able to try it on OS 9 or Windows, though I'm guessing it's the same.

Thanks
Karl

Have you checked for stray "Lock Messages" commands, perhaps in a subroutine
that's being called?

Nope, I just searched through my entire script, the only things I lock is the screen occasionally, but even that I don't do near where I > quit.

I created a new stack, and made a quick script in the stack script of:
on shutDownRequest
--display an answer dialog, quit if the user clicks "Don't Quit"
end shutDownRequest
and when I hit command-Q, it did not pop up. Is my copy of MetaCard being weird or something?

How can I get it to actually stop the Quit?

See the shutDownRequest system message.

I've inserted it into my script, but for some reason it's not
recognizing. I put it in both the stack's script and the card script,
but it's not intercepting it at all. Could those other handlers I have
be messing with it?
