- Sub: Re: DoChoice problem
-
- As MacApp currently stands, one cannot close a modeless dialog set up as "free
- on closing" from DoChoice (like pressing the Accept button) without crashing.
-
- This seems a glaring omission and I for one need this capability.
-
- It would be preferable to bite the bullet and modify DoChoice to return a
- command. This has several other advantages as outlined in other threads.
-
- As a clumsy alternative (and we must live with this for a long time), a method
- could be added to TApplication that would add a dialog to a list of dialogs
- that would be freed during DoIdle. DoChoice could be used to close the dialog
- with no problems. The idle frequency would not have to be set so high as if
- DoIdle were responsible for closing the dialog. The dialog would have to be set
- up as "dont free on closing" to do this.
-
- I hope some others feel strongly enough about this to push for the TCommand
- option. Regards, Les Caudle
