Paul,

Hi, I've read all of the responses so far to your concept. Some are pretty good and you should consider them. That said, if this is for OSX only then why not just make the stack sized to the screenRect and then set the window type to systemWindow. That way the window while open will always 'float above everything' and not allow the user to even get to any other application.

You may have to monitor active windows and if changed set the center of this stack to the active window if people are using "Spaces" or multiple monitors.

This will not work on windows since Revolution does not treat the systemWindow the same on Windows. On Windows you can minimize the stack of a systemWindow to the start bar which would then allow the user to access an internet application. On OSX there is no minimize with a systemWindow.

Hi everybody:

My stack structure is a mainstack splash screen and three substacks. Within a Rev standalone, is there any way to be notified if the user opens a web browser or attempts to write an email with a non-Rev application? Is there any way to prevent it?

"on resumeStack" is not helpful in my case, as, if placed in the mainstack (which is hidden by now), it is not triggered when I come back from a web browser. I can't place "on resumeStack" in a substack, because I am constantly going back and forth between them, and, even in a standalone, it is triggered.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions (or even being told to forget the whole idea).
