messagebox within a callback fails

[Didier Bur]

Hi all,

I'm encountering this problem:
When writing a callback function, everything goes well until a messagebox call: the SU window suddenly minimizes to the taskbar , the message box doesn't pops-up and the callback stops

Something like this:

Code: Select all

@web_dialog.add_action_callback("wcCreatePlace") { |d, p|      
         # Possible opening ?
         pushPullDoable=validateFace4Pushpull(face)
         if pushPullDoable
            dist=findWallFaceDistance(face)
            if dist
# EVERYTHING OK UNTIL HERE
               rep=UI.messagebox("Open the wall ?",MB_YESNO)
               face.pushpull(-dist) if rep == IDYES
            end
         end
      }

Anyone encountered this before ?

I don't have the problem, but I use a generic block for the call back and then dispatch the action.

Anyway, very strange!

In your code, I see a variable <face> that is not initialized in the block. Is this the real code?

Thanks Fredo,

No, that's not the real code, simplified for readability.

En fait, "face" est une variable d'instance @face dans mon vrai code, j'ai simplifié pour poster ici.
Je n'ai toujours pas solutionné le pb, j'ai mis des mouchards partout pour tracer ce que fait le callback, et dès que la messagebox est appelée, plus rien...
Je vais calquer ma manière de faire sur la tienne

Change this one line to output 'face' & 'dist' to the Ruby Console just before the failure.
p face; p dist=findWallFaceDistance(face)

@TIG
Thanks for the hint, unfortunately it doesn't help, I'm getting the correct values for face and dist outputs. BUT, I tried to call message box in others callbacks, it worked in every case.
So what was wrong with this particular callback ? Guess what, one CANNOT call a UI.messagebox after a webdialog (or html dialog) closes, modal or non-modal.
There's some kind of logic here...

This doesn't work:

Code: Select all

# callback cancel
@web_dialog.add_action_callback("dlg_cancel_settings") { |d, p|
   @web_dialog.close()
   r=UI.messagebox("Are you sure ?",MB_YESNO)
}

This works:

Code: Select all

# callback cancel
@web_dialog.add_action_callback("dlg_cancel_settings") { |d, p|
   r=UI.messagebox("Are you sure ?",MB_YESNO)
   @web_dialog.close()
}
