1 second pop-up, timed message

[onidarbe]

I can't seem to find how I can give a quick confirmation, like displaying 1 second: "Hello world" without the need to press [OK] or [X]

I thought I've found it, but it doesn't work:
dlg = UI::WebDialog.new("test", false, "test", 300, 200, 50, 150, false) dlg.set_html("Hello world") dlg.show start_timer(1, false) { dlg.close }

It does sometimes disappear but even when I don't use start_timer(1, false) { dlg.close } So that seems to be another bug?! Maybe only in SU 2013...

Try:

module Onidarbe

  def self;;popup(message)
    #
    unless @dlg
      @dlg = UI;;WebDialog.new("Notice", false, "Onidarbe_Popup", 300, 200, 50, 150, false)
    end
    @dlg.set_html(message)
    if @dlg.visible?
      @dlg.bring_to_front
    else
      RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /darwin/i ? @dlg.show_modal ; @dlg.show
    end
    UI;;start_timer(1.0, false) { @dlg.close }
    #
  end # popup

end

Onidarbe::popup("Operation complete.")

reasons:

1. local vars in scripts get garbage collected soon after the script ends.
2. all your code needs to be inside your own module
3. you were attempting to call the start_timer module function without qualifying it by it's module. (It is not a global method.)

Short and ride to the point

Thanks again Dan! Have a nice new year's eve...
