avoid "close all windows" form

[Former Member]

Hello guys,

I'm just working on an add-on where there is the need to create several user defined tables and user defined fields at the beginning.

During the creation, the B1-user gets the form "Database has been modified, close all windows" (no quote)

And if he presses "Yes" to close all windows this could cause errors in the add-on.

So my question is:

Is there any possibility to get this form only ones (right after I finished creating the tables)

Thanks in advance and

Best regards,

Mario

Hi Mario,

Take a look at the progressbar object. While a progressbar is active, a user can't interact with the GUI. I use this method also with my initialisations, works like a charm!

<b>Code (C#):</b>

/* Create a progressbar (10 steps, cancel button disabled) */
ProgressBar pbProgress = m_SBOApplication.StatusBar.CreateProgressBar("Creating user tables", 10, false);
pbProgress.Value = 1;

/* Create a user table and set the progressbar value */
pbProgress.Value = 4;

/* Create another user table and set the progressbar value */
pbProgress.Value = 8;

/* Stopping the progressbar */
pbProgress.Stop();
pbProgress = null; /* <-- IMPORTANT! */

Hope it helps,

Hi Rowdy,

Thanks for the tip, I will keep it in mind! Such an easy way to overcome that problem. Well done!

Hi Mario,

You can also use this. Before you start creating the UDF and UDT, you set:

oSBOApplication.MetadataAutoRefresh = False

This is made just to avoid that window.

After you've finished the creation of metadata:

oSBOApplication.MetadataAutoRefresh = True

Hope this helps,
