Thanks Jim and Bob,
Jim, this is what I thought but I am experiencing sudden death of the application that seems to be related to setting the menubar based on data in the pref stack. Based on the sequence of preopenstack of main stack runs until command to open the pref stack then
preopenstack of pref stack runs
openstack of pref stack runs
preopenstack of main stack finishes
openstack of main stack runs

I'll keep working on the problem.


Bob - the preopenstack and openstack in the main stack are in the card so that only the opening of the mainstack sends the message. Otherwise, every other stack that opens would eventually (unless explicitly stopped) pass through the mainstack handler and I want to avoid that.

Thanks
Ron

preference stack from a custom property, then open that stack, read
data from that stack and then continue with other operations.

My question is, is the preopenstack handler of the main stack
completed before any preopenstack handlers in the preference stack? or
does the call to open the preference stack interrupt the main stacks
preopenstack handler?

Thanks if you can follow this...

The preOpenStack and openStack of the PREFERENCES stack will complete prior
to the completion of the MAINSTACK.

This is because you are calling for the opening of the preferences stack from inside of the preOpenStack handler of the mainstack. As opening a stack requires the preOpenStack and openStack to run for the stack to be "opened," these handlers of the preference stack will run before control is returned to the preOpenStack of the mainstack to continue running. Otherwise, you would not be able to open a stack and do something with it (like *start
using*) from within the preOpenStack of another stack.

Aloha from Hawaii,

Jim Bufalini
