Looking for tips on memory mgt in standalones

[Andrew Kluthe]

Yep. I have a big pool of data from a database that is formatted to
fit nicely in a datagrid. When you click on a row in the datagrid it
clones a stack I have and sets the row data as a custom property in
the cloned stack. And when I looked at my code for doing this, I
realized I must have already known this because destroyStack was
already being set.

Stacks are great containers for structured data (particularly if it's not a heap of data in which case I'd use a sqlite db file) but it's much better design to have an invisible stack file with no controls and all the data in custom properties and then a template document viewer that you clone if your app can have multiple documents open. Otherwise version 2 of your app comes out and you need to write routines to move data from version 1 of your document file to version 2. Got caught by that one on a couple of my first LC apps...
