How to create non-modal dialog box?

I'm trying to create a non-modal dialog box. The purpose is to show an alarm for the user but should leave the calling VI continuing to run. I have created such a thing -- the problem is that I can't figure out how to get the dialog box to go away! It stops running but the window just hangs around. See the attached VIs and image.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Chad

How to display non modal dialog box in a Dll call from TestStand implemented in visual c

Dear Jason F.
Applications Engineer
National Instruments
Hello
I did the same way you told me
the non modal dialog appeared and
system hangs and
giving the error message
""SeqEdit.exe-Application Error
The instruction at �0x047fc5b0� referenced memory at �0x047fc5b0�. The memory could not be �read� ""
please solve my problem
and thanks for yours early response
you can email me at

Hi Mkehret,
Does your dialog have ActiveX controls on it? If your DLL dialog uses ActiveX controls and is not programmed in a certain manner it can hang because of a conflict in the threading model used by the TestStand Engine that is calling into your DLL and the model that is required by the MFC ActiveX Container. If you are using ActiveX controls in your dialog, you need to make special considerations for the threading model MFC dialogs that use ActiveX controls need in order to work properly. The example under \Examples\MFCActiveXContainerDlg illustrates how to appropriately handle this situation as well as explaining why it is necessary.
Note: The above example displays the dialog as modal, but this is irrelevant to the problem I am describing.
Again for information on properly creating a dialog class object and displaying it as non-modal refer to the information on MSDN that I referred you to in this post:
http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=506500000008000000E98A0000&USEARCHCONTEXT_CATEGORY_0=_8_&USEARCHCONTEXT_CATEGORY_S=0&UCATEGORY_0=_8_&UCATEGORY_S=0
If your dialog does not use ActiveX controls or after trying the programming method illustrated in the "MFCActiveXContainerDlg" example TestStand still hangs when calling your DLL, try calling your DLL from another environment just to make sure whether the DLL works at all. If the DLL works properly when called by another environment (e.g. VB, VC++, LabVIEW, or CVI), please submit a MINIMAL and REPRODUCEABLE example source project for your DLL for us to look at (please exclude all unnecessary code not required to reproduce the specific problem of displaying the dialog, and include all files necessary to build your dll with any
specific instructions needed to do so).

You too can display non-modal dialog boxes: LrDialogs.presentFloatingDialog

Undocumented function: LrDialogs.presentFloatingDialog
ref: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/sdk_lrdialogs_presentfloatingdialog_ and_showstringsdialog_undocumented
This works for displaying non-modal dialog box:
LrFunctionContext.postAsyncTaskWithContext( "test", function( context )
    local LrPhotoPictureView = import 'LrPhotoPictureView'
    local photo = catalog:getTargetPhoto()
    local pictureView = LrPhotoPictureView.makePhotoPictureView{
          width = 400, height = 400, photo = photo,
    local result = LrDialogs.presentFloatingDialog {
        title = "Thumbnail test",
        background_color = LrColor ("white"), -- required for (uncolored) static_text display, else inside of box is black and so can't see black text.
        contents = vf:column {
            vf:static_text {
                title = photo:getFormattedMetadata ("fileName"),
            pictureView,
            --vf:edit_field { - no sirve, presumably keystrokes are not trapped by box.
            --    bind_to_object = prefs,
            --    value = app:getGlobalPrefBinding( 'tempForTest' ),
            vf:push_button {
                title = "Click me",
                action = function( button )
                    app:show{ info="Pushed" } -- glorified call to LrDialogs.presentModalDialog - works.
                end,
    -- LrDialogs( app:getGlobalPref( 'tempForTest' ), result ) -- no sirve.
end )
Enjoy!

there is no way to activate previously opened dialog?
I assume that to be the case, and so it takes a moment to come up if there is much contents.

Doesn't seem to be really useful
For me, it would be very useful, if it was reliable, but so far, not so good.
UPDATE: Bug I thought was in non-modal dialog is also in modal dialog (scrolled_view must not be followed by another components in tabbed container - see comments in code below):
LrFunctionContext.postAsyncTaskWithContext( "tt", function( context )
    local props = LrBinding.makePropertyTable( context )
    props.tv = 0
    local vi = {
        vf:tab_view {
            vf:tab_view_item {
                identifier = "t1",
                title = "T1",
                vf:static_text {
                    title = "temp1"
            vf:tab_view_item {
                identifier = "t2",
                title = "T2",
                vf:scrolled_view {
                    vf:slider {
                        bind_to_object = props,
                        value = LrView.bind( 'tv' ),
                -- with this here, Lr crashes after adjusting slider and then switching tabs - comment it out, and all is well:
                --vf:static_text {
                --    title = "this cant be here",
    LrDialogs.presentModalDialog {
        title = "test",
        contents = vf:view( vi )
end )

Howto create non-modal dialogs using ADF Faces

I would like to use Dialogs in a non-modal manner.
Trying to use
<af:commandLink useWindow="true" action="dialog:infoPopup" blocking="false">
<af:setActionListener from="#{row.xyId}" to="#{infoPopup.currentId}" />
</af:commandLink>
doesn't work as expected. I'll get the dialog, but I can't use the page behind it.
Alternatively I tried to show the page using Javascript opening the pageInfo.faces, but here I have an order problem. The onClick event is processed first and the #{infoPopup.currentId} will be populated after rendering the JSF page. But I want to show infos depending on the xyId.
Is there any other way to open windows/dialogs?
Thanks in advance
Stephan

The "blocking" attribute basically just blocks you from clicking the commandLink or commandButton twice (or more) before the first click has been processed by the server and a response has been received.
It is a very good util for avoiding those unwanted IndexOutOfBoundsExcepions when a user hits many buttons thus sending multiple requests to the server.
By the way, I'd like to see the answer to the non-modal dialog window, because we have a need for them, too.
Kind regards,
dj

How to create a modal dialog, which I can still interact with document when the dialog is show.

HI,
    Now, I am developing an automation plugin, and want to create a modal dialog, which I still can interact with document when the dialog is show.
    I find photoshop has some modal dialog have this function, such as the dialog of Customize Proof Condition and the dialog of Color Settings. Are these dialogs not modal dialog?
     Thanks!

The whole point of a modal dialog is that you cannot interact with other things while it is active.
And Photoshop does not support plugins accessing the rest of Photoshop while any plugin UI is active.

Modal Dialog box in Dialog Programe

I have create one Modal Dialog Box in Module Pool.
when i click on the 'X' on the top right side of that screen the Dialog box is not closed.
Can any one help on this?

For the Modal Dialog box you need to create the Status, while creating the status Choose the Status for Dialog box. that time you it will show different Status Options.
you need to set the status to the CANCEL(X) button , Then handle the Function in the PAI user_command module.
CASE sy-ucomm.
when 'CANCEL'.
leave to screen 0.
endcase.

How to call jquery function when i close modal dialog box ?

Hello,
I need to call one jquery function when I click on close button of modal dialog box.Can anyone please let me know how can I implement it ?
Thanks,
Dipti Chhatrapati

Hi Dipti,
If my understanding is correct, you are using SP Modal Dialog and want to track the close event of this dialog. Then you may use
dialogReturnValueCallback parameter of Options variable. Follow is the code sample:
function ShowModal() {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function () {
var options = {
url: 'page1.aspx',
tite: 'Add Title',
width: 800,
height: 450,
allowMaximize: true,
showClose: true,
dialogReturnValueCallback: scallback
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
}, 'sp.js');
function scallback(dialogResult, returnValue) {
if (dialogResult == SP.UI.DialogResult.OK) {
// call your Jquery method here...
Thanks, Ram

Focus Problem -- Two Non Modal Dialogs

Hi ,
In my applet, when user does something which is not allowed, I display an error message box (JOptionPane dialog - modal).
There is another dialog box (non modal) that user
can open to view search results and put it aside the
applet window to do some parallel work.
Now when error message dialog appears, the search
dialog box also pops up even if the user
has put this behind the applet window (by clicking browser window or applet, the search dialog goes behind the window).
Can you please let me know, how can I get rid
of this search dialog (non-modal) popup. I mean
search dialog should remain open but should not
come infront (ie should not get focus) when modal
error message dialog pops up.
NOTE: I don't want to make search dialog
a modal dialog.
Thanx,
[email protected]

Thanks for the reply michael. I forgot to mention particularly during my post that i am facing this problem on Solaris system. Running the same application on windows is working fine. I can't make other non-modal dialogs visibility to false because they should be visible on the screen all the time throught out the application life cycle and making it visible/non-visible doesn't get sense in my application. Does anybody is facing the same problem with Solaris system? Plz help.

Standard 'X' in a modal dialog box not working

Hi,
I have created a module pool and calling screen from main screen using Call screen.... Starting... ending... statement.
It is a modal dialog box screen. As a standard a [X] appears on top right corner. But when I click it doesn't work. it does not even fire PBO. How can I make it work?

Hi,
Set next screen as 0, not the screen itself. Then you are able to close it this way.
Regards
Marcin
I was wrong, this will only close the modal box each time after the dialog step is completed. To activate this magic 'X' (allow closing the window with ALT+F4) in PBO set status (type dialog box ) and activate CANCEL and CONTINUE buttons. Now when you try closing the window either by CANCEL button or using X, sy-ucomm (ok_code of the screen) will store CANCEL function code. This way you can simply say LEAVE SCREEN . That works fine, I checked.
Regards
Marcin
