How to get the dialog box ID for hiDBoxCancel function?

johntling

I wrote this simple code for a dialog box to choose to edit 2 different files or to just cancel the dialog box.  But in order to cancel the dialog box I need to get the dialog box ID.  How do I do that for button 3 in the code under procedure myCallback using the hiDBoxCancel function? Skill UI reference document doesn't talk about how to get the g_dboxID from the hiDBoxCancel call.  I also tried getcurrentwindow function in this case but it doesn't seem to work either. 


procedure( callme()
textmsg = "lefpinconfig.il and lefpinconfig.csv has been generated"
dlogbox = hiDisplayAppDBox(
?name gensym( 'trReminderDialogBox ) ; unique variable
?dboxBanner "genPinConfig"
?dboxText textmsg

;dynamically built callback
;'?callback sprintf( nil "trReminderCB( \"%s\" )" textmsg )
?callback '("myCallback(1)" "myCallback(2)" "myCallback(3)")

; choices: hicWarningDialog hicErrorDialog hicInformationDialog hicMessageDialog hicQuestionDialog hicWorkingDialog
?dialogType hicInformationDialog

?dialogStyle 'modeless
; choices are: Close, CloseHelp, OKCancel, YesNo, YesNoCancel or CloseMore
;?buttonLayout 'Close
?buttonLayout 'UserDefined
?buttons '("Open il" "Open csv" "Cancel")
)
printf("%L\n" dlogbox)
)

procedure( myCallback(button)

when( button == 1 "open il file"
       il_file =  strcat( "/space/" getShellEnvVar("MYHOST") "/" getShellEnvVar("USER") "/" getShellEnvVar("PROJECT") "/"  getShellEnvVar("PROJECT_REV") "/cds_run" "/lefpinconfig.il" )
       printf("Open and edit il file %L\n" il_file)
       edit(eval(il_file))

)
when( button == 2 "open csv file"
       csv_file =  strcat( "/space/" getShellEnvVar("MYHOST") "/" getShellEnvVar("USER") "/" getShellEnvVar("PROJECT") "/"  getShellEnvVar("PROJECT_REV") "/cds_run" "/lefpinconfig.csv" )
       printf("Open and edit csv file %L\n" csv_file)
       edit(eval(csv_file))
)
when( button == 3 "Cancel"
;       hiDBoxCancel(dlogbox)
       hiDBoxCancel(

trReminderDialogBox)
)
)

  •  Hi John,

    I just got your SR on this so I will answer there also, but the quick answer is that you don't need to explicitly cancel the dialog box, the button unmaps the box from the screen, and that is all that the "cancel" operation would need to do anyway, so the "when" branch for the Cancel button (button 3) is a no-op / do nothing operation.  I tested that briefly in IC5141 and will try in IC615 shortly.

    Hope this answers your question though?

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
