Re: question re lock screen
Lockscreen only works within the current window, it doesn't apply to the whole screen. Changing stacks will always show what's happening because LC has to create a new window structure. The visibility isn't relevant per se but drawing the new window is. You can initialize the new stack before going to it. Or if you want a visual effect you can go to the stack in the same window, which replaces the current content with the new stack's content without creating a new window. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On January 30, 2022 10:29:29 AM William Prothero via use-livecode wrote: I’m working on a transition from one stack to another, and initializing to destination stack’s screen before I show it.

question re lock screen
I’m working on a transition from one stack to another, and initializing to destination stack’s screen before I show it. So, my question is whether the lock screen command actually works on the invisible destination screen. Or does it only apply to a screen that is visible. How does it determine which “screen” to lock? I see in the dictionary that lock screen does not work in the debug mode. Hmm…. makes it harder to debug.
