Supress Standalone Builder Warnings

[Bob Sneidar]

Hi Jacque. 

I did attempt to deploy this solution a while back, but for whatever reason it failed to work, but I’m sure I missed something. I’m curious, should this also be applied to (pre) openCard / closeCard handlers as well? 

Thanks this is the simplest explanation I have seen.

Personally I think it causes more problems than it solves, but the solution is to add (multiple) handlers to your stack to avoid the dialog. Most of my stacks work okay without the additions, but if you have certain handlers in the message hierarchy you get the dialog. The code you need to add is in the link above.

I ONLY ever have one version of any stack that is open, unless the Standalone Builder is leaving stack IN the Standalone in memory, which would be breathtakingly bad programming, and I do not think they are doing that.

I know I will have to update the library each time a new release came out but it’s worth it just to avoid the hassle of quitting and relaunching every time a different standalone need to be built.
