moveStack

Type

message

Summary

Sent to the current card when the user moves the stack window.

Syntax

moveStack <pNewStackH>, <pNewStackV>

Description

Handle the moveStack message if you want to respond to movement of the stack window.

The moveStack message is sent only if the user moved the stack window. This message is not sent when a handler moves the window by changing its location, rectangle, or other properties.

Known issue

Currently errors in moveStack and resizeStack are ignored, as this was causing a hang in the IDE.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
pNewStackH		The horizontal distance in pixels from the left of the screen to the left edge of the stack.
pNewStackV		The vertical distance in pixels from the top of the screen to the top edge of the stack.
