longWindowTitles
set the longWindowTitles ¬
to trueOrFalseThe
longWindowTitles returns or sets whether HyperCard displays the full path name of a stack in the title bar of all windows that contain stacks. Its default value is false. WARNING: Commands or properties that reference stack windows by name won't work once you set the
longWindowTitles to true because the name becomes the full path name of a stack. For example, compare the following two commands:
show window "Home"
show window "My HD:HyperCard:Home"
longWindowTitles is false, the second only when it's true. Check the value of the longWindowTitles before you use such commands or properties, or force it to be false in your stack (which takes away the feature). Examples
get the longWindowTitles
set the longWindowTitles to true
Demo Script
on longWindowTitlesDemo
set the cursor to watch
set the longWindowTitles to not the longWindowTitles
wait 2 second
set the longWindowTitles to not the longWindowTitles
end longWindowTitlesDemo
