Get graphics in a Dialog box

[fmanuel]

Hello,

I have an evoluating curve:

To do this, I generate a channel, i open it in a report file and refresh it periodicaly during the process.

I Would like to see the curve evolution and have buttons in the same time to act on the process.

Is it possible to open a graphic in a Dialog box?

Best Regards,

fmanuel

Hello fmanuel,

There is an example in DIAdem that seems to show what I believe you are looking for.

The example is called: "Wizard for tolerance evaluation" and was released with DIAdem 10.2

At the end of the example, the screen shown above can be seen - the arrows in the report are actual controls, I assume they work the same as buttons ...

The two relevant files are:

Tolerance.vbs	Script file
Tolerance.sud	Dialog box file

Hope that gives you a good starting point to solve your question,

In this case the curve is compute, and then display as a picture on the dialog box

I have a script which compute a channel in real time (add of points values one by one), and I would like to see the curve evolution in the Dialog box.

Can I call my computation sub functions in the .VBS from a Button On_Events?

More Generaly, when I use this:

Call SUDDlgShow("Dlg1",MyFolders(1)&"dialogbox4.SUD",NULL)

The .VBS Script stop running, can I launch it again without clothing the Dialogbox?

And how much time is the script in the Dialogbox executed ( just one time when its open or is it a loop)?

Hi fmanuel,

Is it an option to have the user look at your developing curve in DIAdem VIEW or DIAdem REPORT graphs, which would be visible "behind" your SUDialog?

Yes, how would you do it?

Hi fmanuel,

Sorry, I was teaching DIAdem and didn't get back to this for a long time.  The SUDialog has access to all DIAdem commands, including the VIEW object, etc., so it can load a VIEW or REPORT layout, assign particular curves, refresh the VIEW or REPORT panel just like a regular VBScript running in the SCRIPT panel. 

It is also possible to call the SUDialog non-modally with the SudDlgCreate() command, if you want the user to be able to use either the DIAdem environment (i.e. VIEW cursors) or your dialog, which would be visible the whole time.
