Hi,

Is there a standard dialog that can be displayed prior to execution of a potentially very disruptive operation that can ask the user to confirm execution or allow canceling?

Thanks.

There is not - things like that are usually generated internally by the GeometryFactory infrastructure in a separate process called moi_commandprocessor.exe instead of the main UI thread so that the cancel button in the UI remains responsive and clickable.

But that infrastructure is part of the internal C++ API, it isn't accessible by the script API.

If you have a long running script there is a mechanism that will try to exit it if you hold down the Esc key.

Hi Michael,

Could you add a script function to V5 that could display a dialog asking for confirmation and simply return true or false?

Hi again,

While I'm here I thought you might like to see what your recent help has led to.

I've got a minor tweak or two I'm thinking about but they all are meeting my needs right now.

Thanks for everything.

Frederick

You can make a dialog like that in a plug-in, see attached example.

Great, I'm glad it's useful!

Thanks, - Michael

Hi Michael,

I tried out your example with the "confirmation dialog" - it is just what I was envisioning.

Perfect.

Another tool for my toolbox.

Thanks.

Frederick
