Re: Substacks
Hi Jacquline, Think your question lead me to the issue. For some reason on the stack that did not work I added the substack by opening the mainstack and substack and saving the substack into the mainstack somehow. I started from new and added the substack by using the add stack file button within standalone settings and it worked fine. Regards Camm > On 29 May 2022, at 17:27, J.

Re: Substacks
Just to clarify, are they real substacks or do you mean they are separate stacks that you include in the build? Also, double check that standalone settings isn't set up to move substacks into separate files. I think that option is in the general pane but I'm not at my computer to check. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On May 29, 2022 6:05:08 AM General 2018 via use-livecode wrote: Still no luck, no closestack handler in “main stack” , tried the other suggestions with hide/show etc. But still “mainstack” quits on closing the “substack xyz” Will keep looking……..

Re: Substacks
At the risk of repeating someone else’s suggestion. I address this by have an on closeStsck handler in the main stack. I’m in my phone so don’t have access to code but it’s along the lines of: On closeStack If the short name of me is “” then closeStack End closeStack Works rely as bay for me though variations could include “if name is not “xxx” then exit closeStsck Will see which is correct when I get to my machine. Good Luck. Jim NOTE: This has worked reliably for years. I doubt something has changed but perhaps? NOTE 2: To avoid the “mental pain” of not having something like this working, I’d recommend creating a new stack and sub stack combination just to trouble shoot the problem. I’d say 9 times out of 10, I can get the simple test to work which points me to some other issue I never would have discovered that ended up being the issue (like not remembering that before my closeStack was issued, i navigated back to the main stack by a go card “” of the main stack as part of my trying to figure out what was happening but the timing was such I never saw the transition.)

Re: Substacks
Still no luck, no closestack handler in “main stack” , tried the other suggestions with hide/show etc. But still “mainstack” quits on closing the “substack xyz” Will keep looking……..
