Re: Single File Deploy on Windows?

Hi Dan, there is a way to use the old libURL instead of the new tsNet external. If that is sufficient for you then you just have to unload the tsNet library before building the standalone. To do this just execute this from within the message box: dispatch "revUnloadLibrary" to stack

Re: this stack gets every closeStack message

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"

Messages stop sending when it loses focus. Is that normal?

Hi LC Geniuses, I have a stack that has a handler that sends messages to the stack and waits until the handler that is triggered completes before it sends the next one. It works perfect except for when the stack loses focus. The messages stop sending. Is this normal behavior, and i just don't

That's already what's happening. This stack is getting every closeStack message that happens, even the ones that fire off when the IDE's windows close. It's just a stack opened from a file. It shouldn't be in between the IDE's windows and the the engine. On Tue, Apr 4, 2017 at 9:49 PM, Craig
