What you describe is the default behavior and you shouldn't have to
do anything to accomplish it. The IDE will ask if you want to save
if the stack is dirty. If you have no handlers that interfere with
closeStackRequest, closeStack, etc. then your stack should act the
way you want it to. There is no documentation about it because you
have to actively write handlers to prevent it if you don't want
that behavior.
In a standalone, you would have to write the handlers that track a
dirty variable and ask to save, since this is part of the IDE but
doesn't exist in a standalone. For that, a closeStackRequest is the
most commonly-used way to trap a click on the close box. When you
are done checking the dirty status and saving the stack, pass the
closeStackRequest to allow the stack to close.
I am more confused than ever now! The whole thing is more confused
since I have most of the "open" and "close" handlers in Card 1 of the
stack(s). I still don't fully understand why I need them in Card 1,
but when I was having problems with it in the past someone told me to
put them in card 1 so I did. I really would like to get this under
control and have all the handlers I need in the right places and just
have it work!
So in my setup, I have this:
LibStackA:mainStack - no preOpenStack, openStack, closeStack, no
closeStackRequest.
One card in the mainStack, no Substacks.
LibStackB:mainStack,no preOpenStack , no openStack, no closeStack,
no closeStackRequest
One card in the mainStack, one Substack.
LibStackB:subStack1:Stack Script, preOpenStack , openStack,
closeStack, closeStackRequest, no "pass" in any handler.
One Card
------
NormalStackA:mainStack:Stack Script, no preOpenStack ,no openStack,
no closeStack, no closeStackRequest
NormalStackA:mainStack:Card1 Script, preOpenStack , openStack,
closeStack, closeStackRequest, no "pass" in any handler.
no Substacks.
NormalStackB:mainStack:Stack Script, no openStack, no closeStack, no
closeStackRequest
NormalStackB:mainStack:Card1 Script, preOpenStack , openStack,
closeStack, closeStackRequest, no "pass" in any handler.
no Substacks.
What should the action be for this Setup? With it set like this, if I
click close on the LibStackB:subStack1 window, I get the "Do you want
to save?" dialog.
I have the feeling that when I added a pass to "closeStackRequest"
in my normal stack(s), it fell thru into the library stack.
Do I need to test if the close was for the this stack? If so how do I
do this? Would the following work:
if the name of this stack <> myStackName then pass
"closeStackRequest" ???
Sorry to be a pain, it's just something that I can't seem to get my
head around! Once I get this straight I'm sure it will stick and I
won't have to worry about it ever again!
All the Best
Dave
