I'm not aware of any reason why pressing OK would cause this to get "stuck". Please contact customer support (submit a case after logging in).

The form intentionally re-uses the previous values the next time it is launched. You could workaround that by creating a wrapper function:

procedure(CCFcdsScanLibUI()
  unless(boundp('cdsScanLibForm) && hiIsFormDisplayed(cdsScanLibForm)
    cdsScanLibForm='unbound
  )
  cdsScanLibUI()
)

This checks to see if the form is already displayed, and if not, it resets the form variable to force the form to be recreated (which would discard any existing values on the form).

Hi Andrew,

I believe "stuck" in this case means that the form is modal and blocks the execution of the SKILL commands

In case you need to write SKILL interacting with forms, you can use the following workaround : 

(defun fill_and_close_cdsScanLibForm (@rest _)
  "Properly fill form arguments and click OK"
  (let ( (form (symeval 'cdsScanLibForm))
         )
    (if (not (hiIsForm form)) (warn "cdsScanLibForm:%A is no valid form\n" form)
      ;; Set parameters you need
      ;form->lib... = ""

      ;; Click OK
      (hiFormDone form)
      )))

(progn
  (hiEnqueueCmd "(fill_and_close_cdsScanLibForm)")
  (cdsScanLibUI)
  (info "This message never gets displayed without `hiEnqueueCmd' call\n")
  )

The queued command (using hiEnqueueCmd) is buffered and evaluated after the form is displayed.

But please note that this only a workaround, the best approach is to use directly the API (In your case it the Unix utility might be an option) 

The only relevant case to do so is when the functions behind the form are private.

Otherwise it is quite dumb to programmatically display a human interface and mimic human behavior instead of directly doing the job.

Thanks Aurélien. That wasn't clear to me. In IC23.1 it's actually changed to be a layout form and a modeless one at that...

aryansingh Given that the SKILL code for this utility is given as a sample in the installation (and you have to load it to use it), you can of course change it to behave how you want.

Andrew

thanks, @AurelBuche

It is not working at my end. I am Trying to write a skill code for this GUI tool...and I facing issue to close this form, as I am using this in repeat mode for list of cells.

can you please help me how to automatically close this form and run for a different cell.
