Hi All, In 64 bit Safari our NPAPI plugin needs to use a few system dialogs for opening files, printing, etc.
These system dialogs call stopModalWithCode to deliver the result of the dialog interaction back to the runModalForWindow function But the stopModalWithCode function does not work on another thread, as the NSApplication documentation makes clear: *For example, use abortModal when running in a different thread from the Application Kit’s main thread* When running on a different thread like this runModalForWindow will always return zero no matter what is passed to stopModalWithCode We were easily able to fix this problem in our other dialogs by just saving the button clicked in a global and calling abortModal Can anyone think of a way to fix this for the system dialogs? It seems like a trivial problem but I can't think of the best way to fix it 1) Can anyone explain in more detail what is going on and why? 2) Could we sub class stopModalWithCode and fix it there? 3) Can anyone explain how calls to NSApp still work when a child process has been created? 4) Maybe I should subclass NSOpenPanel etc. and try to fix it there?
