deleteStack

deleteStack

Handler:

on deleteStack
statements
end deleteStack

HyperCard sends the deleteStack message to the current card of the stack that is being deleted.

Note: You cannot stop a stack from being deleted by trapping the deleteStack message. Instead, you must handle the doMenu message or set the cantDelete property for the stack.
