*WARNING* hiDisplayForm:

Julien Terrier

Hello,

I havn't understood this warning:

WARNING* hiDisplayForm: cannot display blocking form Generateur_de_Para_Menu before initialization is complete. It is likely that a command in your .cdsinit file is attempting to display the form.  Please either change the form to non-blocking (argument "?dontBlock t" to hiCreateAppForm()) or use hiEnqueueCmd() to put the command that displays the form into the command queue and it will be executed once initialization has completed.

Someone can explain me what meaning this warning  and how can I resolve it?

 

Thank you for your help.

    What it means is that you cannot display blocking forms during the .cdsinit file. This used to not raise a warning, and strange things would happen! You either need to add ?dontBlock t to the call to hiCreateAppForm, which makes the form not block SKILL when it's displayed. Alternatively, use:

    hiEnqueueCmd("hiDisplayForm(Generator_de_Para_Menu)") when you are trying to display it - that will then display it once all the initialisation is complete.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the answer, I did the modification as you suggest me:

    defun(Generateur_de_Para_Interface ()
    hiEnqueueCmd("hiDisplayForm(Generator_de_Para_Menu)")

    );enddefun

    Instead

    defun(Generateur_de_Para_Interface ()
    hiDisplayForm(Generator_de_Para_Menu)

    );enddefun

    With the modification I retrieved an error ==> *Error* eval: unbound variable - Generator_de_Para_Menu

    Therefore my procedure doesn't work, if you have an idea ?

    Thank you.
