I what seems to me is a "bug" related to messages and model dialogs in LiveCode. I have tested this under LC676, LC7.1.1, and LC8.0.0dp15
If I have stack with 2 buttons, called Dialog1 and Dialog2 with the following script in each button. on dataChanged put short name of me & colon & cr & "BEFORE DIALOG" & cr after fld 1 answer "Message Received by"&& short name of me && "at"&&the milliseconds put short name of me & colon & cr & "AFTER DIALOG" & cr after fld 1 end dataChanged A single scrolling field to see results (fld 1) and a 3rd button with a script: on mouseUp send "dataChanged" to btn 1 in 5 milliseconds send "dataChanged" to btn 2 in 10 milliseconds end mouseUp When you click on the 3rd button, button 1 receives the dataChanged message, places the data and "BEFORE DIALOG" note in the field and then presents the answer dialog and suspends pending the dialog. While button 1's modal dialog is still waiting for a user action, button 2 gets its dataChanged message, places the short name and it's BEFORE DIALOG note and the skips its answer dialog and places its (button 2) AFTER DIALOG message and exits. Then when the visible Answer dialog is responded to from Button 1's script, button 1 places its "AFTER DIALOG note in the field. This is counter to what I would expect. I would have expected EITHER: the script in button 2 to have suspended as soon as it received its message and not executed until the answer dialog from button 1 was responded to OR the script in button 2 to have suspended when it reached the answer statement and when the answer dialog from button 1 was complete, then you would get the answer dialog from button 2. The fact Livecode SKIPs a line of code (the answer statement in button 2) with no error or warnings or anything I find disturbing? Is this a BUG or an expected behavior? If there any way to ensure any dialog in a message executed in time while another dialog is pending does not get skipped? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
