[gme-users] modeless dialog for GME plug-in

[Zoltan Molnar]

A BON interpreter is executed within a transaction. That's why the users
are not aware of transactions at all, because it is hidden from them. 
If a modeless dialog box is within the transaction boundary then it
should be Ok.
 
So if you implement a modeless dialog that you allow the user to make
operations in your dialog and in your model as well, and the dialog
controls operate on the model, then you must do all such operations
inside one or more transactons. See Rawcomponents and ComponentObj.cpp's
InvokeEx method for details.

Subject: [gme-users] modeless dialog for GME plug-in



Hi,

Currently I need to create a modeless dialog for my GME plug-in. Has
anyone
done this successfully before? There seem to be some valid reasons for
wanting to do this (such as a dialog whose input can drive changes
within
the scope of a current model in focus).

Unfortunately, I am encountering a problem when I try to make a modeless
dialog. The modeless dialog showed up and seemed to work. But the
problem is
the GME might crash when I operated on the dialog. Other times, I got a
general error message when I later closed GME.

It would be appreciated if someone can share such experiences in
creating
modeless dialogs. If those are frowned upon in plugins, can someone
suggest
alternative ways that have been used?

Thanks for any help!

Jane
