FL_DeleteStack

Description

Delete a stack. Takes the name of the stack to delete.

This routine ignores the value of the cantDelete of the stack. Use with caution!

The routine does nothing if it can't find the stack, so you have to either pass the full path, or you have to be sure that its in a place that Hypercard knows about.

Code

on FL_DeleteStack name
  -- deletes stack called "name"
  -- use with caution!
  
  -- NB: only works if it can find the stack
  -- (it wont put up a dialog asking where it is)
  
  -- check that stack actually exists
  if there is a stack name then
    UL_LockAndPush
    go stack name in a new window
    set the cantModify of this stack to false
    set the cantDelete of this stack to false
    DoMenu "Delete Stack..." without dialog
    UL_UnlockAndPop
  end if
end FL_DeleteStack
