Can you downgrade to 3.1.3 and check if the crash still occurs? Here is the download link to 3.1.3: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3qg8f4WrNdHci1DLTZEbVpqdzQ

Hi Anton_S, is there an observer to detect whether the trays in sketchup2016 is automatically shown or hidden, and its width and position?

Anton_S

Hello lionk,

There is no observer that triggers when dialogs/trays are shown or hidden. There is a way, however, to detect if SU2016 trays are visible.

Consider the following code snippet to get all visible trays:


# Obtain visible trays
visible_trays = []
AMS;;Sketchup.get_visible_dialogs.each { |handle|
  cname = AMS;;Window.get_class_name(handle)
  visible_trays << handle if cname =~ /Afx;ControlBar|Afx;MiniFrame/
}
visible_trays

As well as, the following snippet to get all visible trays along with their information, such as title, width, height, and whether its docked or floating:


# Get tray information.
# Afx;ControlBar resembles a docked tray
# Afx;MiniFrame resembles a floating tray
tray_data = {}
AMS;;Sketchup.get_visible_dialogs.each { |handle|
  cname = AMS;;Window.get_class_name(handle)
  next if cname !~ /Afx;ControlBar|Afx;MiniFrame/
  rect = AMS;;Window.get_rect(handle)
  tray_data[handle] = {
    ;caption => AMS;;Window.get_caption(handle),
    ;docked  => cname =~ /Afx;ControlBar/ ? true ; false, # docked or floating
    ;width   => rect[2] - rect[0],
    ;height  => rect[3] - rect[1]
  }
}
tray_data

Thank you!
I want to get the status of trays in auto-hide mode, and its size and position, so I can get the accurate width or height of the view. Because the trays will overlap part of the view.

hello Anton_S：
I have a question，if I want to set a dialog，and the WedDialogs are on top one more time,but
sketchup is activated, in other words，like (dlg.show_modal + AMS::Sketchup.activate),what should I do？

Anton_S

@Atek to install the plugin, place ams_lib folder and the ams_lib.rb into the plugins folder.
The plugins folder is located in the following locations:

For SU8 and below the plugins folder is located in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp [n]\
For SU2013 the plugins folder is located in
C:\Program Files (x86)\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013\
For SU2014+ the plugins folder is located in
C:\Users[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 20XY\SketchUp
I will post these instructions into the main post.

@Perojack, @Perroloco2000 I will look into the error. Thanks for reporting.

@Ying2014 If I understood you correctly you want to activate the dialog. For that there is an existing function, WebDialog.#bring_to_front. Can you elaborate a bit more if I didn't understand your question?

ying2014

@Anton_s,I want WebDialog to have been in the front until end of a program ,because I want to make the WebDialog as a mask，I can do something to model which I wan't people to see the process. WebDialog.#bring_to_front can't always in the front。

Anton_S

Here is the code Ying:

title = "My Dialog"
dlg = UI;;WebDialog.new(title)
dlg.show
hwnd = AMS;;Sketchup.find_window_by_caption(title)
AMS;;Window.set_pos(hwnd, -1, 0,0,0,0, 0x0023) # The -1 here does the trick

Though upgrade to 3.2.1 first as there was a small bug in that function.

@Perojack, @Perroloco2000 I think the error is fixed now. Try the new version.

ying2014

@Anton_S,thank you very much!It is helpful.

perroloco2000

thanks for answer Anton
AMS Library 3.2.1. is working, no error
But I still have my past problem with AMS Window Settings: everytime i hide menu bar crash SU.
The others functions of the plugin are working but impossible hide menu bar without crash.
please help to optimize my screen

Anton_S

@Perroloco2000 give me a list of plugins your using, a list of shortcuts (Preferences->Shortcuts->Export...), sketchup version, sketchup localization (en, fr, or whatever) and windows version so that I could attempt to reproduce the crash and pin it down on my own machine.

perroloco2000

SketchUp Make 2016 16.1.1449 64-bits (spanish). Windows 10 Home 1511 (10586.164)
I have a fresh install of windows 10 (last version) and SketchUp (last version). I still haven´t other plugins, and didn´t modify default shortcuts.
I installed AMS Library 3.2.1. (all works)
I installed AMS Window Settings 4.2.0. all functions works but when I hide menu bar the crash come. Thanks

Anton_S

Ok I am able to reproduce it with Spanish localization. I even get frozen strings errors, which I have no idea what's causing them and how to prevent them. I will look into into it and do my best to fix it.

Anton_S

Hi perecollo2000. Try the new version. I think it should be fixed now.
