Disable "Save Display Information" form

Octavian

Hello,

I'm making some display resource modifications from a skill script using the function drSetPacket. When I close the CIW window I get a pop up asking me if I want to save display information changes.

How can I disable that pop up? Preferably, this should also be done from the skill code and would not apply for any additional changes made after that skill code is executed. Basically I'm looking for a way to reset the "changed flag" after my modifications.

I'm using IC514.

 

Thanks,

  • Tavi,

    Certainly if you use drLoadDrf("display.drf" nil) (note the nil on the second argument) it doesn't ask you to save changes because of the new display.drf being loaded. However, there's nothing similar for drSetPacket.There's no SKILL function exposed to clear the modified counter.

    One way is to use this (slight hack):

    procedure(CCFtidyUpAtExit()
      hiRegTimer("CCFcancelSaveDisplayDrf()" 0)
    )
    procedure(CCFcancelSaveDisplayDrf()
      when(hiIsFormDisplayed(techSaveDrmForm)
        hiFormCancel(techSaveDrmForm)
      )
    )
        
    regExitBefore('CCFtidyUpAtExit)

    Note that in my case I get an error displayed in the CIW at exit time if I've modifed the packets, but it still exits. I couldn't (in the limited time I had) figure out a way to stop that.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Thanks for the quick reply

     But this will cancel the form even when other modifications were made to the display information.

    I'm thinking about creating a temporary drf file with my modifications and loading that with drLoadDrf. Will that work?
