Form popup from library manager causes library manager to wait...

markbeck

Greetings all,

I'm running Virtuoso IC6.1.5.500.7

I've got a form which is launched from the library manager which works fine, except that when the form is launched it causes the library manager to wait (busy cursor) while the form is up.  If I close the form, it returns control to the library manager. 

I know it's possible to spawn a form from the library manager without causing it to wait since the copy form doesn't freeze the lib manager. 

Any ideas out there?

  •  Hi Lawrence,

    It is a form that I am creating on my own with the cdsLibMgr.il file.  I hadn't used the ?unmapAfterCB option, so it should have been unmaped once the form was created.   Here's a code snippet to see what I was doing:

    ; In cdsLibMgr.il
    lmgrCreateMenuItem("Test" "simple"
                           '(("label" "Run Test")
                             ("callback" ("Test_CB"))
                            ); list
                          ); lmgrCreateMenuItem

    lmgrAddMenuItems("MyToolsMenu" "LCV" (list "Test"))

    ; Defined in a .cdsinit file
    (defun Test_CB (@rest l_args)
      (let ( g_form buttonField)
        ;--------------------------------
        ;Main Code
        ;--------------------------------
        buttonField = hiCreateButton( ?name 'someButton
          ?buttonText "More Options"
          ?callback "printf(\"pressed\")" )

          g_form = hiCreateAppForm( ?name 'myForm
            ?formTitle "formName"
            ?fields list( buttonField)
            ?callback "printf(\"Done!\\n\")"
            ?unmapAfterCB nil
          )
          hiDisplayForm(g_form)
      ); let
    );

    If you launch the test form, it works fine, but when you try and access the library manager while the form is up, it is still waiting.
