Hi!

I've a problem with GeDialog. A CommandData opens a GeDialog GUI. InitValue contains an algorithm that requires 3-4 seconds to calculate, but the GeDialog is only shown after the algorithm is executed.

Wrong:
Click on CommandData Entry
Algorithm execution (c4d hangs)
Algorithm executed
GeDialog pops up

Correct:
Click on CommandData Entry
GeDialog pops up
Algorithm execution (c4d hangs)
Algorithm executed

Does anyone knows, how to solve it?

Thanks a lot...

When the commanddata opens the dialog then simply let the commandData call the algorithm. Write a function for the algorithm in your dialog class.

YourDialogClass : GeDialog
{
MyAlgorithm();
}

So..
if(YourDialog->Open(x,y))
YourDialog->MyAlgorithm();

Hi 3D Designer

Thx, thats a good idea.. it works...

I only have one problem with thread. Is it possible, that I can't change the layout of a dialog from a different thread?

Thanks..

Hi!

Ater using the search fucntion, I found out, GUI functions are indeed not thread-safe...
