Session.Prompt Dialog

[philchudley]

Has anyone else experienced the following?

In a script or Model Add-in, when using Session.Prompt to display a modal dialog, the very first time the script (or Model Add-in) is run the very first execution of a Session.Prompt command, the modal dialog is displayed minimised on the Windows task bar, rather than on the EA workspace? This gives the impression that EA has "hung up".

All subsequent executions display the dialog as expected.

Using latest build of EA v 16.1, and the behaviour is the same for Windows 10 and Windows 11.

I don't really use the Session.Prompt, but use msgbox instead. Added bonus is that it gives you a lot more options to configure it as well.

I do sometimes get pop-unders where the dialog box is underneath the main window, but that is usually when using EA on a remote desktop.

Many thanks Geert sound advice.

I have used DGLInputBox (as per Sparx script library), but cannot find a reference to MsgBox. Do you have any quick pointers?

Much apprecaited

DLGInputBox actually executes VBscript's built in InputBox

I guess you can do the same for MsgBox. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/scripting-articles/sfw6660x(v=vs.84) for the offidical documentation of this function with all it's options.
