Hi All,
Last week Richard asked if anyone cared to speculate how or why a
stack's revStack property could affect stack window size. Based on
my experience this morning, my speculation is they do not...rather
the problem he & I saw appears to be due to the fact that Rev or the
MC engine adjusts the window size on Mac OS systems between the
stack's preOpenStack & openStack handlers.
1 Create a simple stack with a menu group.
2 Note the stack height and place a statement in preOpenStack logic
setting the stack height.
3 Quit Rev, restart, & open the stack...the stack window will be
correct if the menubar's "Use as menu on Mac OS" property is NOT
checked, but incorrect if the property is set.
4 With the "use as menu..." on, move the height adjustment from
preOpenStack to openStack.
5 Repeat Step 3...height is correct.
Note: The was a recent post that suggested setting stack height was
not necessary because the window is only truncated in the Development
UI.
