Get ipcReadProcess() return message in real time and update form field

Hi Martin,

You should check the arguments of ipcBeginProcess, it takes a function as third and fourth argument exactly for these kind of purpose

ipcBeginProcess( "your_shell_command" ""

  (lambda (pid data) your_form_name->field_name->value = strcat( your_form_name->field_name->value data))

  (lambda (pid data) your_form_name->field_name->value = strcat( your_form_name->field_name->value data))

  )

Hi Aurel,

Thanks, it works. Now the feedback message can be updated in the form field in real time.

Another question, I want to realize a function like this,

1. Start a child process with ipcBeginProcess() function.
2. Receive data from the child process and update it in a form field in realtime.
3. When the child process is competed, update the final result in another form field.

If we use an ipcWait() function follwing the ipcBegainProcess() command, even we use the dataHandler function to receive data from the child process, the data received can't be updated in the form field in real time, because the main skill program will be blocked by the ipcWait() function.

If we don't put an ipcWait() function following the ipcBeginProcess() command,  the main skill programm will run to complele before the child process and can't get the proper final result of the child process. 

How to solve this problem?

Regards,

Martin

Hi Martin,

Most of the questions you ask are already answered in the documentation of ipcBeginProcess

Read it carefully, you'll find what you need

From my point of view it seems you ask many questions without even looking at the documentation nor trying by yourself before...

Cheers,

Aurélien
