after some further testing, I realize one issue with my method.

When the form has been brought by "sevEditSelectedAnas(session) ", the script has been stop for executing temporarily until the form has been closed.

Does anyone know how to let the script continue after invoking a form opened by "sevEdit..." or "sevChoose..." API

  • Hi Yi,

    If you created the form yourself and used ?dontBlock t, then it will not block when  you call hiDisplayForm(). Note that you cannot set this attribute after the form has been created (well, you can set it, but it won't have any effect).

    If you're dealing with a form created by somebody else that doesn't have ?dontBlock t set at creation time, the only options you have are to find a non-form-based API, or to use hiEnqueueCmd (or hiRegTimer - they have a similar effect).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
