good afternoon.
I have a question to ask, due to lack of documentation on VO.
method VaBene() class DemPagante_Maschera

oNotice := NoticeReceipt_Mask{self:Owner,aParam}
FabCenterWindow(oNotice)
oNotice:Show()

In this particular case I alert the user that a receipt is about to be printed, indicating the patient's name and the amount.
And it starts via the classic 'Okay" button. At the end there is the line
self:Dialog()
which takes me back to the Vabene method of the DemPagante_Maschera Class
Is it correct to write in this method
oNotice:Close() ?
I hope I managed to explain myself.
Thanks

Hi Aurora,

Ik think that the user will close the NoticeReceipt_Mask by clicking the
OK button and that the NoticeReceipt_Mask is app modal. In that case the
window is closed by the user and the code will procees after the
oNotice:Show() line with the next thing to do.

In this case oNotice:Close() after the Show() line will cause problems
because it tries to close a window that is already closed by the user.

If the NoticeReceipt_Mask window is not app modal it will be on the
users screen after the show but your VaBene() method will proceed and
the NoticeReceipt_Mask window might not be closed at all if you do not
call oNotice:Close() that window

So it depends on you. Make the window app modal so the user must press
OK to start the print. Or make it just a progress window which cannot me
closed by the user and has Show() and Close() in tha VaBene() method.
Status updates on the progress in VaBene() could be shown if
NoticeReceipt_Mask has a ShowProgress() mathod that shows the progress
info on it's window

Is this of any help ?

Hi Aurora,

I'm really sorry, but your question has nothing to do with lack of
documentation in VO.

If you would close a datawindow, use the method EndWindow(), and if
your window is a dialogwindow, you have to use the method EndDialog().

So you have to write

self:EndDialog( IDOK )

if DemPagante_Maschera is a DialogWindow, or

self:EndWindow()

if DemPagante_Maschera is a DataWindow.

Thank you for your response, which is extremely important to me.
Basically you suggest me to insert in the postinit method of the window
self:SetModal(True).
In this case the closing of the window happens from the method 'VaBene' that closes with the classic 'EndDialog'.
The window doesn't remain open and doesn't cause problems.
Otherwise in the line following the Show() I must insert the closing command.
Correct?
Thanks

Dear Mr. Riedman,
what does self:enddialog( IDOK) mean?
The question refers to the word IDOK.
Does it mean the name assigned to the window ?
thanks
Aurora Baccio

Hi Aurora,

> what does self:enddialog( IDOK) mean?
> The question refers to the word IDOK.
> Does it mean the name assigned to the window ?

the method EndDialog() of the dialogWindow class has one numeric
parameter.
This parameter is assigned to the :Result instance variable.

IDOK is a constant that has the value of 1, whereas IDCANCEL has the
value of 2.

This is a sample:

class MyDialog inherit DialogWindow

method OkButton() class MyDialog

self:EndDialog( IDOK )

return nil

method CancelButton() class MyDialog

self:EndDialog( IDCANCEL )

return nil

......
local oDlg as MyDialog

oDlg := MyDialog{ self }
oDlg:Show()
if oDlg:Result == IDOK
// do something because the dialog was closed with the OK button
endif

HTH

Hi Aurora,

The AppModal setting depends on what you want

You will always need the Show() of the window.
Then you have 2 options

1 You want the user to do something before you want to continue after
the Show() line. Eg do some settings like selecting an output directory
or agree on the parameters the user will continue on. In that case you
want an AppModal window so it will prevent all other actions in your app
until the user made up it's mind. In this case the window will and
itself with EndWindow(0 in its last line of code where you make sure the
users has set the right parameters. In this case you wil NOT have any
Close() in the method that dis the Show() of the window

2 You just want to have a progress windows. In that case the window need
the be NOT AppModal. The code will proceed after the Show() and by
calling something like oNotice:ShowMyProgress(cTextToShowOnTheWindow)
the progress is shown to the user.
In this case when the job is finished and there is no further progress
to show oNotice:EndWindow() (or another close of the window depending on
the type of window)

Does this help ?
