Re: this stack gets every closeStack message

[Matt Maier via use-livecode]

I think I figured it out. Thanks for the ideas about troubleshooting but
none of those rabbit holes were particularly informative.

Eventually while doing something else I went back through the dictionary
entries for the various commands that make use of external stacks. It
finally dawned on me that I had mindlessly listed this actual stack in the
same "start using" list as all of my script only library stacks. Then I was
also using "go to stack" when the user actually opened it.

So that makes sense, right? The reason it was getting every message like a
library stack is that I told Livecode to use it as a library stack. I think
I understand the different options a little better now. All I need is "go
to stack" with the file path at the moment I need the mainstack; I don't
have to include it previously or anything.

Place a breakpoint in the closeStack handler. When it fires and the 
script goes into debug mode, look at the popdown menu button just to the 
right of the debugging icons at the top left of the script window. 
That's the execution contexts, and it tells you what path the message 
took. The top line of the button list is the handler with the 
breakpoint. Choosing each line in order underneath will trace the path 
the message took before it reached your stack's breakpoint.

Can you put a closeStack handler in the stack that seems like it ought not to 
be in the hierarchy, and see when it fires? Then maybe you can figure out what 
caused it?

Re: this stack gets every closeStack message

[dunbarx via use-livecode]

Two independent stacks are at the same "level" in the hierarchy. Unless one
is put into use or otherwise explicitly made to trap messages above another
stack (like inserting a stack script into back, for example), I am not sure
how you are seeing what you are seeing.

Can you send a "closeStack" message from your "lower" stack and trace it?

this stack gets every closeStack message

[Matt Maier via use-livecode]

So I've got a mainstack (#1). It calls a different mainstack (#2) so that I
can save data like API keys in #2 stack before closing it.

When I'm in the IDE #2 stack is getting and responding to every single
closeStack message that happens, including when I close IDE windows (ex:
script editor, variable watcher, etc).

Does that mean stack #2 is being placed above everything, including the IDE
stacks, in the message hierarchy? Is there a way to have it not do that?
