# Description

Use the stack object type to display a window, palette, or dialog box.

A stack corresponds to a single window. Each LiveCode file contains one or more stacks. The first stack in a stack file is called the main stack; any other stacks in the stack file are called substacks of the main stack.

Stacks contain one or more cards, and may optionally contain backgrounds.

>*Note:* The type of window a stack is displayed in depends on the stack style property and whether the stack was opened with the go, topLevel, palette, modal, or modeless command.
