openStack

Type

message

Summary

Sent to the destination card right after you open a stack.

Syntax

openStack

Description

Handle the openStack message to change a stack's objects, or perform other updates, when the stack is opened.

The openStack message is sent after the stack is visible.

To make changes that take effect before the stack becomes visible on the screen, use a preOpenStack handler instead of openStack.

The actual opening is not triggered by the openStack message, so trapping the message and not allowing it to pass does not prevent the stack from opening.

Examples

on openStack
  send "rollCredits" to field "Credits"
end openStack
