Did you change the decorations of the stack by any chance?

Hi gwbasic,

a stacks rect is actually the rect WITHOUT the title bar.
So in your case the titlebar and all its decorations are "out of reach"!

Type this in the message box:
set the rect of stack "name of your stackhere" to 50,50,200,200
To be able to "handle" it again

I think the height of the titelbar is about 30 pixels (?) on Windows, so you have to ADD this value from "item 2 of the screenrect" like this:

Code: Select all

on preOpenStack
  put the screenrect into TSR
  add 30 to item 2 of TSR
  set the rect of this stack to TSR
end preOpenStack

You might want to play a bit with the values unti it fits your needs.


Best
