Dialog box showing counter

driven

hi

I made an experimental one that counts items as they are created, is this the sort of thing you mean?
I see if I can find the link to the discussion...

this is the one I can find at the moment, it's just a countdown from 40...

it should be wrapped in your namespace, but runs as a snippet...

there's a 'typematic' example somewhere on this forum that shows one way of extending this code...

I'll keep digging, but I often loose these sorts of experiments...

I reconstructed this one, to show geometry counting...

found the one with the cubes...web_dlg_progress_singles.rb

glad it helped and sorry I couldn't find a fully commented version as I made loads of variants...

the show/show_modal was there to stop the dialog disappearing on a mac if you carried on modelling whilst it ran...

the format is an shorthand if statement signified by the ? and the else by the colon...
as a one-liner it is equivalent to

if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /(darwin)/ ; puts "mac SU version"; else puts "PC SU version"; end

RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /(darwin)/ ? (puts "mac SU version") ;  (puts "PC SU version")

Hi Driven,

What you gave me is far more than I expected. Don't apology. Such short code is not so hard to understand but at first glance I didn't understand why using an array as counter and some other constructions. I had never met html+Javascrit+Ruby as well. That's why I felt a bit confused but your answers make all that clear in my mind.

Do you know how to refresh the dlg content from a script. something like


> for i in 0..2	
> 	@count += 1
> 	@dlg.set_html(dlg_html_content())
> 	
> 	#how to refresh the dlg content?	
> 	#dlg.refresh is not available
> 	#is there a way to force a refresh?
> 	sleep (1.0/2.0)
> end	
> @dlg.close

Have a good Sunday

Hi. You can send javascript code to execute it inside the webdialog from sketchup ruby with the execute_script() method.

if dlg is your webdialog instance object then

js_command = "location.reload()"
dlg.execute_script(js_command)

something like this should work

@sawdust_online said:

in a more traditional webDialog you can use

 @dlg.execute_script("window.location.reload();") # forces a reload...

the whole point of my original example was to show that you can update a dialog content dynamically without the blocking associated with sleep...
using @dlg.set_html(dlg_html_content()) is replacing the page content each time with a fresh eval of dlg_html_content()...
so any embedded ruby variables like our #{@count}, #{@one_more_time} will be re-evalued each time the JS timer runs out...

For longer delays adjust that timer, using sleep on the ruby side will block SU...
this won't, it will simply delay the call back to ruby by 5000 milliseconds...

if (run) setTimeout(function(){window.location='skp;auto2ruby';}, 5000);

Nevertheless I would have liked to save that bunch of files without blocking SU, webdialog box or not.

what type of files are you saving? images, components?
I think you can you the same approach as the two geometry making versions I posted...

@unknownuser said:

the following code seems to do the job! what's your take about it ? may it lead to crash ?

for a mac it would be better if you used

RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /(darwin)/ ? @dlg.show_modal() ; @dlg.show()

bring_to_front doesn't achieve the same thing unless it was show_modal before the any focus change...

I don't see why you need the timer, any short wait will happen anyway while the file is being written...

BTW. sleep(0.25) will work the same as, but looks more like ruby than the fractional floats to me...
