Description maison.godard 2004-01-29 08:37:53 UTC 
Hi, 

i experience this problem

As i'm a script kiddy, my macros are not good the first time i write them
So when testing, macro engine complains :)
Here is a case where i must Kill OOo as nothing is enable anymore
(see attached file - main code at the end)

I have a dialog, i set enable=false, i call a sub, i set enable=true
The problem is that the sub doesn't exists (error comming from the macro 
developper). Then OOo complains !! ok but no more ways to access anything 
until kill OOo

Solution ?
Hard Code a "Magic Key" - CTRl+ALT+SHIFT+S - a rather complicated one - That 
stops all macros process
Would also be usable on infinite loops

<joke>
I agree that these cases shouldn't occur but who knows if the macro developper 
is tired or drunk ... :)
</joke>

Thanks 

Laurent

dim dlg

sub StartDialog
	Feuille=DialogLibraries.Standard.Dialog1
	dlg=CreateUnoDialog(Feuille)
	dlg.execute
	dlg.dispose
end sub

sub Test
	dlg.enable=false
	call DummySub()
	dlg.enable=true
end sub

According to the roadmap of  OpenOffice.org 2.0
(http://tools.openoffice.org/releases/q-concept.html) this
issue has been scheduled for 3.0.

Hi  
 
OOo 3.0 is a rather long time to get 
Do you have any roadmap to see if this will be handled otherwise, i may 
directly set an OOo4.0 target 
Hope we'll get it in 2.x nevertheless 
 
Well, imho, this is an important feature to have. More than correcting this 
specifice freeze, macro developpers should have the ability *at any time* to 
break the execution of a macro (freeze, infinite loops aso ...)

ab->laurentgodard:
I can't reproduce the problem any more in a src680 m106 product and not in 
a src680 m114 non-product either. In general I don't think that a "magic key"
to stop macros is necessary as the "stop macro" button in the toolbar yet 
exists. When a Basic (modal) dialog is active this button is inactive because
the dialog has the focus but this would be the same for the "magic key".

I don't think that this was a Basic related but a Window activation / focus rela-
ted problem. The Error Box could not be closed although it should have the
focus, so the Basic Dialog blocking the "stop macro" button could not be
closed either -> freeze. With such a bug in the windows / focus handling also
a "magic key" would fail.

So please have a look if you can still reproduce the problem. If not, I tend to
close this task. -> INVALID for now

This issue has been "RESOLVED" for quite a time, I assume I can close it ...
