I just pulled this from my post for you: Opening a stack sends a whole series of messages: at least preOpenStack, preOpenCard, suspendStack, focusIn, openStack, openCard, mouseEnter, suspendStack, focusOut, resumeStack, focusIn, but even more are possible. I got this list from Message Watcher. They are a tad different in standalone.

Very interesting. I wonder what would be different in a standalone. I did not see resizeStack in there.

A resizeStack message may be sent if the stack being opened has a menubar and is being opened on a Mac while its editMenus property is false.

I think I was seeing resizestack without having menubar in my stack but I may be confusing things now. In IDE, things may also vary depending whether any palettes are open. And when opening invisibly, some open msgs are not sent.


Anyway, you can use one of the standalone message watchers (as opposed to the one built into IDE) to see what's really going on in your stack when running in IDE or standalone.

Tip: in standalone, activate watching from the startup handler if you want to watch the mainstack.
