For whatever it is worth, this problem does not occur on the Windows version of the app. The frontmost window always has a red close box (under Windows 7).

On a Mac, I have a mainstack open along with two substacks, for a total of three open windows. As I click on the INTERIOR of any window, that window becomes "frontmost" or "active", but the decorations remain grayed out unless the mouse hovers over them. I have to click on the titlebar of a window i...

The brute force solution is to create a new substack, copy and paste the datagrid into it, and delete the original substack. The new substack correctly places the TITLE at the top of the window in both LiveCode and in the application.

I have a substack that correctly shows the substack TITLE at the top of its window in LiveCode. But after I create the application, the substack NAME appears at the top of the window. This is on a Mac. Another substack behaves correctly, where the TITLE appears at the top of the window in both LiveC...

and the solution is....... If the code is written like this, the DataGrid will sometimes flicker- lock screen set the dgData of group "myDataGrid" of stack "dataStack" to allDataArray -- load Data Grid set the dgVScroll of group "myDataGrid" of stack "dataStack" to dgVScrollParm -- restore scrollbar...

It seems that lock/unlock screen do not work perfectly with a DataGrid. Upon unlocking the screen, the scrollbars appear where I want them to be. But the data values momentarily appear in the cell locations they would be in if the scrollbars had moved to the origin, and then appear in the correct lo...

Hi Klaus,

That was a great solution. Just what I needed.

Thanks,

I have a DataGrid that is sized so that only a small part of the data can be seen at one time. There are both vertical and horizontal scrollbars. Whenever I update the data by using 'set the dgData of group "myDataGrid......" ', the view of the DataGrid shifts to the top left, or origin, of the grid...

Thanks Bernd,

I never thought to look there.

Regarding the "dirty document indicator", apparently LiveCode 4.5.3 has "experimental support" for this feature. Has anyone figured out how to implement this? I can't find any documentation in either the Dictionary or on these forums. Thanks.

That link looks excellent. Thanks.

Hi Klaus,

I'm sure that sentence is clear to you, but I think I may have to research it a bit

Klaus, Ken,

Thanks for the hints. I'm sure they work, but I will have to study them for awhile to figure out why they do. I'm still learning to think in an "object-oriented" way.

Klaus,

You are correct. I did not separately evaluate the preOpenStack function and the OpenStack function. I had one substack with a preOpenStack function and another with an openStack function, so with different substacks, the problem showed up in different ways.

Ken

The solution to this one is rather interesting. The substack that was working correctly had its own preOpenStack function. The problem substack did NOT have its own preOpenStack function. Apparently, when a substack opens, a preOpenStack message is generated. If the substack itself does not trap the...
