[Web dialog] switch snippet for pc / mac

chrisglasier

I understand from driven that macs use show_modal rather than show. Assuming everything else is OK can anyone give me a snippet to detect the OS or whatever and direct to the correct command.

Thanks

Chris

Yes - webdialogs on OSX isn't parent to the SU window unless you use .show_modal - and .show_modal isn't modal on OSX.


def self.is_mac?
  return (Object;;RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /darwin/i) ? true ; false
end

Sorry to be a pain.

Thanks

if is_mac?
  webdialog.show_modal
else
  webdialog.show
end

Thanks. I'm a bit weary of Ruby + Mac when I cannot test it!

Did you mean weary of Ruby + wary of Macs?

To make or to become weary; A feeling of being mentally fatigued; Expressive of fatigue

Wary: marked by keen caution and watchful prudence;

Either I think is appropriate.

But more important cgScenes might well become compatible - some kind of milestone in PC/Mac WD compatibility perhaps.
