Re: Identifying IDE stacks

This has been informative. IDEUserMainStacks() is exactly what I want, I don't care about substacks at the moment. With four or five different ways to get the info, I think all bases are covered. Many thanks to those who have the courage to dig through the IDE scripts. On 4/27/18 7:42 PM,

I think you will have to perform several operations here: 1. convert Hex number to Binary number. 2. find Complement of Binary number. 3. convert Complement to Decimal number. Your "main problem" is that YOU have to work out the algorhythm to get the complement as LiveCode does not have that
