Hi Graham, I use VirtualBox. Changing the windows also changes the value returned by LC's screenrect function. I would expect it to change in Parallels too. Interestingly, the machine function returns Unknown in Mac OS X but x86 in Windows, while both are running on a MacBook :-)
It is not very useful to set the location of a stack to a distant point, because a user might decide to set the location of a secondary or tertiary monitor to that point. If you want to hide a stack, use the hide command. If you need the stack to be visible for some reason, then make it look like visual feedback that's meant to be. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.6 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/ce On 19 apr 2011, at 20:33, Graham Samuel wrote: > I no longer have a PC but I'm trying to test an app intended for PC use.
