JDialog modal doesnt seem to work in bsh macro
Submitted by drefty on Thursday, 17 April, 2008 - 12:54
Does anyone have a script that demonstrates how to use a Modal dialog from within a Beanshell macro?

Problem: I am trying to get user input in a beanshell script and set a variable based on that input. The problem is when I set modal=true for the JDialog box, the JDialog no longer disposes after presses of "OK" or "Cancel". The dialog just sits there and won't go away, therefore I cannot capture the result and set the variable.

Macros.input()

Hi,
if You only want to get one value from the user, then take this: tag = Macros.input(view, "Enter name of tag:");

If you want more, try the Macro Manager Plugin to look for some community macros. Two not very small samples are: LineFilter.bsh and Block_fill.bsh. Important for the buttons are actionListeners and KeyListeners.

Yeah, I based my code on those scripts. I am actually trying to use a HistoryText dropdown box. All the actionListeners and KeyListeners are there. Thanks for the reply though.
