longWindowTitles

Type

property

Summary

Has no effect and is included in LiveCode for compatibility with imported HyperCard stacks.

Syntax

set the longWindowTitles to {true | false}

Description

In HyperCard, the longWindowTitles property determines whether a stack window's title bar shows the full path to a stack, or only the stack's name. In LiveCode, the stack's label property is shown as the window title; if the label is empty, the short version of the stack's name property is shown.

A handler can set the longWindowTitles without causing a error|script error, but the actual window title is not changed. The default value is false.
