Hi Tereza,

So you call YesOrNo() from preOpenStack? If so, I bet that's the problem. Hide your mainStack in preOpenStack, and call AskYesOrNo() in openStack (after the stack window has been drawn, even if invisible). And before calling AskYesOrNo() be sure the modal stack is visible.

This is a guess, but I think I did something like that when I had troubles with modal stacks in the past.

Hi Tereza

I checked your handler in a stack "modaling" a substack "AskYesOrNo" with both 
RR 3.5 and 4, and both seem to work perfectly...
Do you have something else than filling fields with the custom properties and setting the 
dialogData in the scripts of "AskYesOrNo" ?

Thanks Jacques!

In preopenstack I move buttons around to suit the platform and default value, 
and I arrange to return the default value on returnkey. But I do nothing 
unusual. I've had to revert to using an answer dialog--which works--but I wish 
my own dialog would work! This is old code that worked for years that I revived 
for this project (I wanted my own look-and-feel). Convinces  me I really AM 
losing my grip!

Tereza,

modal stack "AskYesOrNo"

Don't you have to put the word "stack" in there?
The (mis)behavior is the same whether it's "modal stack"  or just "modal"

I have this handler in a script:


function YesOrNo pQuestion, pDefaultAnswer
set the Question of stack "AskYesOrNo"  to pQuestion
set the DefaultAnswer of stack "AskYesOrNo" to pDefaultAnswer
modal "AskYesOrNo"    
return the dialogData
end YesOrNo

The stack "AskYesOrNo" is intended to do what you'd expect: it displays the question with "yes" or "no" and returns 
"yes" or "no" in the dialog data. However, when I call this handler, it returns empty before it even displays the dialog. If I 
insert a "put" statement AFTER the "modal" statement, the putted text is visible in the message box while the dialog is on the 
screen, and statements in the caller of the YesOrNo function are executed before I exit the dialog.

In other words, "modal" seems broken. Before I start making test stacks, has 
anyone encountered this before? Could there be a bug in the dialog scripts that causes 
the dialog to fail silently?
