Dialog.set_on_close

chrisglasier

Here's a nasty thing I could use some help with.

I want to save some data onbeforeunload. I gave dialog.set_on_close an execute_script for js to do that and call the save callback in ruby. That works fine when you close the dialog but not when you close Sketchup completely. If you think appObserver.onquit would accommodate this I'll give that a whirl.

Thanks.

If that won't work, try to catch the unload event in JS for the webdialog.

Thanks but I don't understand what you mean - js can detect when another application closes?

No - but you can detect when the window containing the webpage closes.
But I'm not sure if it'll work with webdialogs - at least not attached to the window object. But I'd put my money on <body onUnload="...">.

Thanks but onunload doesn't work. I will give the appObserver a try later on.
