Report with an image

hogi — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 19:39:13 GMT

Hi,

the script below generates a window with an image, a script box and a play button.

When I click on play, I get the warning:

I don’t want to save any report – I just want to run the script – without a warning message.

I can disable this message on my computer via the preferences, but another user might want to have this choice.

how can I disable the warning message for my report?

When I click on "Reference", in the future, I can run the script in the Scriptbox without the warning - till I close the window and open a new report. Can I somehow set it once to “Reference” for the report, such that the warning doesn’t show up?

dummyImage = Open( "$SAMPLE_IMAGES/progress.gif", gif );                                       
New Window( "", 
	V List Box(
		Picture Box( dummy Image ), 
		sb = Script Box( "Caption(\!"hello\!")" ), 
		Button Box( "play", sb << run() )
	)
);

When I run the script (windows 10 using JMP Pro 18.01) and press Play I do not get the same prompt. The caption box opens normally and I can close scripts/window like I normally would. My preference for Save table with report has been set as Prompt

Hm, surprising.
I see it with Jmp17.2, 18.1 and JMP 19EA4.

Looking at my script folder ...
Hey, who generated all those report files ?!?!

ah ...

Interesting, seems that JMP just clicks on save - even if the window is a report window !

NB: the autosave before run is very (!!) helpful.

I don't know how many times it saved the work of the last 30min from a nasty bug in the script!

Easy solution:
after debugging the application, I want to use it as a Dialog - and in Dialogs one can run scripts without triggering the auto-save : )

dummyImage = Open( "$SAMPLE_IMAGES/progress.gif", gif );                                       
nw = New Window( "", 
	<< type("Dialog"), // new -> solves the issue
	V List Box(
		Picture Box( dummy Image ), 
		sb = Script Box( "Caption(\!"hello\!")" ), 
		Button Box( "play", sb << run() )
	)
);
