Detect and Close Dialog Boxes (Pop-Up Windows) using SKILL

VadimBorisov
VadimBorisov over 8 years ago

Dear all,

I'm trying to automate cells placement into a layout view using SKILL, and I'm using the famous CCSinvokeInstCdfCallbacks for invoking callbacks, but unfortunately for me, some callbacks are producing dialog boxes with three buttons OK, Cancel, and Help.  

Does somebody know how to block or automatically close these callback dialog windows using SKILL?

Actually, I found one solution (https://www.thecadforums.com/threads/detect-and-close-blocking-dialogs.36255/) written by Andrew Beckett almost 10 years ago, but it does really help me, see bellow. 

procedure(myDontShowDBox()
; schedule an OK button press on the dialog box when the UI toplevel
; returns - or rather 0 tenths of a second after it returns.
hiRegTimer("hiDBoxOK(myDBOX)" 0)
; display the modal (blocking) dialog box
hiDisplayAppDBox(?name 'myDBOX ?dboxText "Blocking" ?dialogStyle 'modal)
)

Kind regards,

Vadim
