Modeless window by using the "palette" does not remain upward in CS5

I have a problem running a modeless dialog box with CS5 (on 64-bit Windows).  My own script does not stay in place and either don't extract of SnpCreateDialog.jsx that comes with the ESTK and is supposed to demonstrate modeless dialog boxes.  I tried:

  1. From the Scripts panel
  2. Add #target photoshop
  3. Be sure that the drop down menu says Photoshop, no CTSK

as suggested in an older discussion at http://forums.Adobe.com/message/3008230#3008230 .  (I decided to make a new discussion as this one was marked answered.)

It also does not stay in place when moved to the folder of Photoshop Scripts and run on the file menu in Photoshop.

The corresponding code in SnpCreateDialog.jsx is:

function SnpCreateDialog() 
{
     this.windowRef = null;
}

/**
 Functional part of this snippet. 
 
 Create a window of type "palette" (a modeless dialog) and display it.

 @return True if the snippet ran as expected, false otherwise.
 @type Boolean
*/
SnpCreateDialog.prototype.run = function()
{
     // Create a window of type palette.
     var win = new Window("palette", "SnpCreateDialog",[100,100,380,245]);  // bounds = [left, top, right, bottom]
     this.windowRef = win;
     // Add a frame for the contents.
     win.btnPanel = win.add("panel", [25,15,255,130], "SnpCreateDialog");
     // Add the components, two buttons
     win.btnPanel.okBtn = win.btnPanel.add("button", [15,65,105,85], "OK");
     win.btnPanel.cancelBtn = win.btnPanel.add("button", [120, 65, 210, 85], "Cancel");
     // Register event listeners that define the button behavior
     win.btnPanel.okBtn.onClick = function() {
          $.writeln("OK pressed");
          win.close();
     };
     win.btnPanel.cancelBtn.onClick = function() {
          $.writeln("Cancel pressed");
          win.close();
     };

     // Display the window
     win.show();
          
     return true;
          
}

/**
 "main program": construct an anonymous instance and run it
  as long as we are not unit-testing this snippet.
*/
if(typeof(SnpCreateDialog_unitTest) == "undefined") {
    new SnpCreateDialog().run();
}

If I put a breakpoint on the "return true;" line, then I see that the dialog box, in fact, was created and is visible, but he came back to win.show () and will disappear as soon as the script continues.

Any help would be appreciated.

The advantage of a modeless dialog box, is that you can continue to do things in Photoshop while the dialog box is in place.  At least, I suppose, since I don't have to work, including the example ESTK.

Sorry but no, most of the Photoshop UI is disabled while a script is running even if the script displays a palette window.

A dialogue window waiting for show() end. This is what makes the modal dialog boxes. A palette window does not expect show() end. He runs the rest of the script.

In the example you posted the entire script after the window display is return true, then ends. That is why there is no blink the window. If you put a line of $.sleep (1000) before the real return line, that display the windows until sleep wait times then the script will exit and the window will close. That's why with Photoshop palette windows are really only useful progress bars or other type of script status windows.

Although windows palette can allow the user to intreact with application UI while the window is displayed and does not work with Photoshop. The window shows only while the script runs and Photoshop UI interaction limited a running script.

I tested windows palette in CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5 with the same results. The window shows only while the script is running.

With Photoshop if you want the user to interact with the user interface you will need to create a Panel.

  • Touchpad on the laptop does not scroll upwards or downwards

    The touchpad on the laptop does not scroll upwards or downwards, I was offline for 5 weeks that my router broke out between the change of operator, so I had to wait for another.
    When I was on the touch pad was'nt working properly. I can't do a system restore, because that would be the former provider. Ideas anyone please?

    First, check the scrolling settings in the advanced settings of Touchpad.

    If they are enabled, uninstall the mouse/keyboard 3rdparty as Logitech or Microsoft and Watcom drivers that may have installed you.

    If it's no good, uninstall the Toshiba touchpad driver, then download and install the latest version.

  • How can I reinstall windows xp when the computer does not start and there is no cdrom/dvd drive?

    I have an Acer netbook aspire one.  It will not boot past the windows logo.  I have a windows xp disc to reinstall windows, but the computer has no CD or dvd rom.  Can I copy cd of windows xp on startup SD memory card and reinstall windows?  Or can I run connect the non working pc a working PC to access the cdrom on the work pc to reinstall windows?

    First of all, you are mistaken when you say that the PC does not start.

    This is clearly starting. The problem comes from Windows, not with the real PC. It's actually a very important distinction!

    There are methods to repair Windows, but they can be a bit tedious. By all means, follow the advice given here to do if you're so inclined.

    If you would not rather to repair Windows (and I think it's interesting a try) or your repair attempts are unsuccessful, apparently, you would need to use an external optical disc drive and follow the instructions here:

  • T610 with Windows Embedded 7 - the system does not license for the operating system image

    Hello community,

    I bought a refurbished computer ThinClient T610 that is running a Windows 7 Embedded English. The label on the package says, that the computer ThinClient is allowed with W7E. When I now run Easy Tools installed on the computer ThinClient hp to create a USB Image with the German language, everything works fine: the image is downloaded from the web and put on the stick.

    But after you start the stick, the installation program tells me: "the system does not license for the operating system image. What I am doing wrong? The BIOS is already the latest.

    Or y at - it another way to transform the operating system in German? There should be an option to download additional languages, but this particual window has no other options. And I have not found any manual way to download other languages.

    Concerning

    Michael

    Sometimes it can be so easy... ;-)

    So here's my solution:

    1. go on the Web for hp Support site

    2. go in the software and driver download

    3. set the language of driver on the language of your choice (in fact: it was the main problem)

    4. download an operating system image

    5. run the configuration tool and copy the image of an operating system on a flash drive

    6. restart the workstation and install the os

    7. take advantage of your computer ThinClient in the language of your choice

    I don't know, why the hp Easy Tools downloaded the image of evil, but with this solution, that I find myself at the same point, as if they did.

  • Windows 7 after the judgment does not turn off

    When I make a stop in Windows 7, it seems to stop, but it does not power the computer off.  I can then manually off (button for 4 seconds).  When I turn on and start Windows my (race mirrored) raid begins a check and fix (takes forever).

    Here's what does not (believe it or not):

    1. Can I do a restart of Windows 7 - it works fine, no problem, raid is correct.
    2. I can do a reboot and upgrade to Vista (I have a dual boot), and then click stop.  He shut down correctly.  I can then turn on and start windows 7 - it works fine, no problem, raid is correct.
    3. I can do a restart and boot from CD (like Acronis), then reboot Windows 7 - it works fine, no problem, raid is correct.

    There is something strangely different between shutdown and restart in Windows 7.  Also, I have no blocking problems in Vista.  My solution is to do a reboot, the boot of Vista and then do a stop.  At least when I power on, Windows 7 starts up fine and raid is correct.

    I tried everything I can find in the way of suggestions on this forum and other websites without success.  I am stumpted.  My last test involved using msconfig.exe and disable all non-Microsoft services.  But no joy!

    My computer is 3 years old. I use an ABIT card with an Intel processor.  This is the first problem I've had in three years.  No problem with XP from the beginning and none currently with Vista.  The only problem with Windows 7 is closing.

    Well, that's all.  There must be a smart person out there with the answer.  Thank you

    I thank all of you for your help. I knew that closing in safe mode has worked very well. So I decided to disable the services a group with the intention of finding the only service that was causing the problem

    It worked. I found that the 'print spooler' was the cause.  I had installed an old printer (worked fine on Vista) and it seems to work perfectly without any problems on Windows 7. So I guess the power off fault is another reason. But after noting that the "print spooler" service was originally the power off of failure, I deleted the printer, then the driver of the printer. The printer is a HP Laserjet 2100.  Now all works.

    Once again, thank you for the suggestions.

    Problem solved.

  • How to go in safe mode on Windows 8, if the computer does not start?

    Recently, my computer won't start, suspended to the start screen. In order to diagnose certain things, I need to get through safe mode. In earlier versions of Windows, I'd use F8 to get in. However, this is not an option in Windows 8. How would you like to do in safe mode on Windows 8 if the operating system does not start?

    Hello

    This gives a try... sometimes it will not work with multiple partitions of hard disks installed because it looks like bad... It might work from a repair also disc...

    1) start from the Windows 8 DVD
    2) click Next
    (3) select repair your computer

    (4) select troubleshooting
    (5) select Advanced Options
    (6) select command prompt

    (7) type - Bcdedit/set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu Yes (note the spaces)
    (8) type - out

    (9) restart

    (10) to the start screen, select F8

  • Photo filter in CS4 - using the eyedropper does not work

    Sometimes I correct a dominant book using the photo filter, a technique that I shot of Katrin Eismann "restoration and retouching" color all over.


    You add a layer of Photo filter, make sure the 'brightness' checkbox is checked, push 'density' up to 100% and click the shade of color in the dialog box.


    Select color filter dialog box opens, with digital displays for STL, RGB, CMYK and Lab color In addition, the cursor turns into a dropper.


    You click in a box to the image problem. Change numbers. You reverse the 'a' and 'b' values in LAB color boxes. For example if LAB is called 65,16,24, you replace 16 and 24-16 and -24 (so that in my example the LABORATORY values are now 65-16,-24. You click OK and then adjust the opacity of the layer of color filter to your liking.


    Today I tried this in CS4 for the first time. When I click in a box to the image problem, LAB values becomes 100,0,0 - whatever the picture, no matter where I click.


    This result is not consistent. I did a number of tests on 2 different images, try stuff as brightness release, mowing the Photo layer filter to the underlying layer, use the dialog box filter of Photo that you can access from the bottom of the layers palette, rather than the settings panel, etc. Twice I got reasonable values when I clicked on the picture of the select a color filter dialog box. But try again the same parameters (brightness turned off, for example) into another image, or in the same image, led to the now dreaded 100,0,0


    I have reset my prefs. Same result.


    I got my partner to try it. He got the same result. I am running CS4 on Windows 7 x 64. It is on a Mac with Snow Leopard.


    Is this a known issue?


    Thank you

    This is because the layer mask is active and therefore clicking on the image with the eyedropper picked up the pure white of the layer mask.
