Re: [platform-debug-dev] Dismissing Launch Configuration dialog

Vadim,

There is no way to open the launch config dialog passing in an error message.  Error messages are generated in the tabs and are passed to the dialog.  Have you thought about verifying the process ID in the tab as the user enters it?  You say that you only want to do this check as you leave the dialog, but this would solve two problems -- the user couldn't launch a config that was doomed to fail (and would be told why), and then there is no second dialog.  The only catch of course is that this may be expensive.  If no amount of caching, etc. makes it practical to do this check, then I'm not sure why the first dialog doesn't close.  The API you are using was created for realizing the dialog when a programtically launched config failed, (i.e., not launched from the dialog).  Can you put your zipped up workspace someplace I can grab it, and provide detailed steps on reproducing the behavior?

Hi Joe,

Basically, I am trying to launch an iSeries (AS/400) debug session using my
Launch Configuration dialog.
In my scenario, user specifies a process ID (job name) that is not unique -
launch should fail, Launch Configuration
dialog needs to come up, and user should be notified about this error (by
the way, what is the best way to
pass an error message back to the dialog) - but I ONLY want to perform such
check when I am leaving the dialog.

The only way this seems to be possible reliably is to do such check in the
launch delegate. But then I run into the
problem with the second instance of the Launch Configuration dialog.

By the way, asyncExec() doesn't seem to do the trick in my case... Any
other thoughts?

Thanks for the help,

Vadim,

Can you give details of what you are doing?  What kind of failure is
happening with the launch?  You may want to try asyncExec() instead if
syncExec(), since the latter blocks the UI thread, so if the first dialog
hasn't had time to dismiss, it won't until the 2nd dialog is dismissed.

Joe

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the life cycle of the Launch Configuration dialog.
As an answer to the
bug 13766 suggests, if my launch fails, I can use
DebugUITools.openLaunchConfigurationDialog()
method to put up the Launch Configuration dialog up again.

I assume that typically the delegate will needs to redisplay the dialog,
and hence I need to use syncExec()
since delegate does not get called on the main thread. When I do this, it
seems like the old instance of the
Launch Configuration dialog is not dismissed, but rather hidden behind the
new instance.

I wonder whether I am not setting some parameter correctly?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
