In Revolution, if I want to have in ONE application some different windows (palette, modal window for dialogs b.e.) is it possble to have some MainStack or is it better to work with substack?
Salut, Fran�ois.
Two important points:
1. On Windows (& 'nixes, I believe), an application cannot modify itself. So unless your application is static (ie: a presentation stack that does not change as a result of user interaction), any changeable information must be stored outside of the application itself or the app can only run on Mac OS.
So if data is stored in a stack, it must NOT be the main application stack NOR a substack thereof. (Data can also be filed in an external file or database.)
2. Stack/substack nomenclature essentially just describes whether a stack is physically stored within another stack file or can have other stacks stored within it. Set the mainstack property of any stack to itself and it is a mainstack; Set the mainstack property of any stack to another stack and it is now a substack of that stack.
A substack cannot itself contain substacks.
Hope this helps. --
