Usually with VMs, there are special drivers or "tools" you need to install that among other things "sync" the local session cursor position and the VM cursor position. Have they installed those tools for their VM client software? Bob S > On Jun 17, 2021, at 09:55 , Paul Dupuis via

Re: building standalone FAILS with German Umlaute in app name

If you have code that refers to the stack name literally, what I do is I have a function called homeStack() that returns the name of the mainstack, so you can change it and your code will always work, and will be portable in that regard. Bob S > On Jun 16, 2021, at 08:15 , Bob Sneidar

Re: building standalone FAILS with German Umlaute in app name

I think he is saying name the stack without the umlat before building, then rename the resulting app bundle after the build. There should be no consequences for that. Also in the Standalone Settings, you should be able to provide a different name than the mainstack for the resulting app. Bob

Message Sent when Closing Stack

Hi all. We have gone around about this before, but I still cannot get this to work. I need to know if there is a message sent when a user clicks the close button in a window (on a Mac it's a little red dot in the upper left, on Windows a red square with an X). I tried before closeStack,
