Animation SUalive extension. May you test beta version?

WhyDi

Bonjour Vincent,
La version corrigée est disponible en téléchargement sur le site web. Si le bug a disparu j'aurais aimé que tu me montres une copie d'écran de l'onglet 'Project' (png format si possible) puis que tu cliques sur l'icône menu en haut à gauche et charge la boîte de dialogue 'Preferences' (copies d'écran de chaque onglet si tu le peux). Enfin lance la fenêtre d'aide à partir du même menu (ici aussi une copie d'écran serait bien venue).
Ces trois fenêtres recèlent un foule de détails concernant le code multi-plateformes.

Patched version available on the website. If bug fixed I would have liked you to show me a screen copy of the 'Project' tab - png picture if you can - then click the top-left icon menu and load 'Preferences' - screen copy of each tab appreciated - and finally launch 'Help' from the same menu - here also screen copy would be great!
These three windows hold much as regard cross-platform code.

Bon, retour rapide :
Sur SU 15 : instal ok, puis plus rien, l' extension apparait bien dans le menu correspondant, mais au lancement, affiche toujours la fenêtre de démarrage avec les 2 boutons à valider, puis une fois validée la fenêtre disparait sans
autre menu, icône ou autre renseignement, à l'écran.
Sur SU 16 : là c'est vite fait : plantage de SU dès le lancement (après installation, rien dans le menu correspondant)

Tu devrais mettre les n° de version dans le titre de l'extension, histoire de savoir si c'est vraiment la bonne que je télécharge .

Bonjour Vincent,
Ce téléchargement n'était qu'un premier essais. Je vais t'envoyer un lien spécifique pour le suivant qui tente de répondre à la question : Où le script stoppe-t-il? Il n'est pas sensé fonctionner mais uniquement écrire des blocs d'identificateurs indentés dans la console Ruby, comme ci-dessous.
Ne perd pas ton temps à tester les deux, Sketchup15 et 16 pour l'instant. Sketchup16 est très suffisant.

EN
The file you downloaded was merely a first trial. I am going to send you a specific link for the next one which aims to answer : Where does the script stop? It is not meant to show but only write indented blocks of identifiers in Ruby console like the following.
Don't spent your time with both Sketchup15 and 16 at the moment. SketchUp16 is far enough!

with Run vX.XX.xxxx
  id
  ...
end with Run
with Load
  id
  ...
  with Show
    id
    ...
  end with Show
  id
  ...
end with Load
    id

Hello,
I'm meeting hard-time with Mac OSX!

As you may read Postby WhyDi » Fri Aug 19, 2016 1:24 pm on previous page Vincent ran the script shown and got the right results which means dialogue-box returns True if Osx-user clicks 'continue' and False when 'exit' button clicked. His reply right underneath has lost the picture but he said 'So far so good'.

Based on this result I updated SUalive then sent a copy to Vincent. Didn't work!

I spent nearly a full day trying to catch why and ended up with the script below so that getting a better check. Please note this is the same script than previous page out of Dlg_debug.new() lays inside a Method embedded in two IF blocks.

require 'sketchup'

module YDco_debug;module YDalv
	class << self
		def main_method()
			puts "main_method() entry point"
			bool_first = true

				else
					lics = YDalv;;Dlg_debug.new()
					if lics.load_dialog()
						puts "....Dlg_debug returns true"
					else
						puts "....Dlg_debug returns false"
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
	class Dlg_debug < UI;;WebDialog
		def initialize()

	puts "Start debug ------------------------------------------------" + RUBY_VERSION.to_s
	puts "call main_method()"
	main_method()
	puts "--------------------------------------------------------debug End"
end;end

The script no longer works! always yields False due to WebDialog returns before lics.load_dialog() executed - pictures of return available if you wish. Consistent! may you reply related to show_modal cross-platform difference. Yes it is!

Two points
I'm fully aware of ThomThom wrote in Sketchup WebDialogs - The Lost Manual about show_modal . So
1 - Just for my education on this.
Please tell me why the first script is right and not the second?
2 - Need for SUalive at work on OSX
Is there any way to make WebDialog fully modal on Mac OSX? any workaround? way of coding to achieve?

Have a good week

I reformatted your code so I could follow it, and pre-defined @is_ok...

it appears to work as far as I can follow what you might want...

main_method() entry point

....second false

Hi John (perhaps you prefer Driven?). Nice to meet you here!

Good idea reformatting the code to get a better understanding. I like your way! Your code looks better than mine.
Before explanations may I ask you for running the script on the previous page. I would have liked you to run one time clicking 'continue' button the another clicking 'exit' button then show me the results in your console.
This only to make sure that first script works on more than one single Mac computer.

Good evening

@whydi said:

... I would have liked you to run one time clicking 'continue' button the another clicking 'exit' button then show me the results in your console...

the webDialog works in both scripts, but debug code doesn't write to console when you expect...

it runs on load and returns false because you haven't defined @is_ok

Start debug ------------------------------------------------2.0.0
Dlg_debug returns false
--------------------------------------------------------debug End

you need to add a timer if you want to wait for the dlg's action callback...

Hi John
Looks like you know the solution. Good news!
I made some minor changes in your reformatted script. May you run it?
In main_method I commented 'if lics.load_dialog...end' block which is replaced with one message and one puts
in HTML I commented //alert(isOK)

       def main_method
         puts 'main_method() entry point'
         bool_first = true
         if bool_first
           puts '..first true'
           bool_second = false
           if bool_second
             puts '....second true'
           else
            # added to show ruby gets here
             puts '....second false'
             lics = YDalv;;Dlg_debug.new
						 str_msg = "....Dlg_debug returns " + lics.load_dialog().to_s
						 UI.messagebox(str_msg)
						 puts str_msg
             # if lics.load_dialog
               # puts '....Dlg_debug returns true'
             # else
               # puts '....Dlg_debug returns false'
             # end
           end
         end
       end

may you post both message-box snapshot on your Mac?

what is meant to show

it this what your after?

maybe this.gif

if so you need to move the message box into the callback, or else it shows before the user selection...

you still dont get it.gif

Hi John
I'm actually after your first gif but on OSX got the second one until now!
Thanks for your time. I know how much time it takes for you making the previous post.

Start debug ------------------------------------------------2.0.0
--------------------------------------------------------debug End

  Dlg_debug returns true

Start debug ------------------------------------------------2.0.0
--------------------------------------------------------debug End

  Dlg_debug returns false

your 'debug End' is still being called too early...

did you notice I had moved it in the code for the first gif?

yes it works as you expect...

BTW. did you look at this old post in your search http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=418498#p418498, the code would need some updating for ruby2 but it works if I remove the dot in the pathnames...

I did develop the idea further to use in a mac plugin called Add_Icon, it's in the store and not scrambled...

Hi John,

I downloaded your extension and had a look to the code below your link. I never thought making code this way and such WebDialog is really fully modal as it locks the full screen.

The user can only interact with your own controls and even not the system - shortcuts perhaps?
Are minimize and maximize and close buttons hidden? maybe dialog.navigation_buttons_enabled does?
Html '<title> TOP more= <<MORE </title>'. Never seen such construction. May you explain?

it is a 'faux' modal window, as in 'fake' or 'false'...

@unknownuser said:

it really only effects the mouse clicks on the dialog
@unknownuser said:

the window buttons that are shown work for the dialog, and cover the SU ones below it...

@unknownuser said:

Html '<title> TOP more= <<MORE </title>'. Never seen such construction. May you explain?

it's ruby HEREDOC and works the same as %Q allowing the use of quotes inside the strings and dynamic content from ruby calls...

it's useful for html as you can have mixed quotes for javascript or css in the strings...

Hi John,
I don't feel comfortable with ruby HEREDOC. May come soon! or not!

Now get back on your reformatted code. I noticed your html header

<head>
  <meta content="charset=utf-8" http-equiv="content-type">
  <meta content="Yes" http-equiv="MSThemeCompatible">
  <meta content="IE=edge,chrome=1" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible">
</head>

and our


<head>
  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="charset=UTF-8">
  <meta http-equiv="MSThemeCompatible" content="Yes">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
</head>

Is it all about your way of coding or can such small variation effect html rendering in WebDialog on the Mac?

Hello,

Here are our comments after adjusting SUalive code
cross-platform Windows/OSX show_modal. Report on Windows side.

In short UI::WebDialog.set_on_close() only raised if parent window not visible.

main_window not visible
Shared code above works only if dlg_main is not visible e.g. dlg_license - dlg_license launched at start time but dlg_main is not shown and will be shown only if user agrees to license. In such context SketchUp raises set_on_close() method. dlg_parent.nil? == true inside set_on_close which means no call to any outside method reading dlg_license class variable. As a consequence we need true_modality_emulation_through_timer() method where dlg_parent.nil? == false - don't tell me why I really don't know.
main_window visible
Shared code above no longer works after dlg_main shown as SketchUp does not raise set_on_close() method. So any inside code is simply ignored. Here is the alternative.

Yes John I had
The previous code was merely another check before going further. The issue is fixed in the following, at least I think until you tell me the results!
so here is the code aiming nearly full emulation of WebDialog modality.

Hello,

We are pleased to announce SUalive Free is now cross-platform - Windows or Mac Osx.

Thanks to Helen and Hugh, Vincent ( osx59) and some others for the time. That Osx very first version also owns a debt to John ( driven ) for his welcome and wise advices and the nice way he offers to test SUalive user interface.
I would like to tell you nothing would have been possible without your great help. It's an honour for me to have met such friendly people.
If there is anything I can do for you, it will be a pleasure.

Have a good week-end
