How to write a JSL script to call and run other scripts without opening a script window but showing just a cancel button?

[#1]

I want to write a JSL script say myScript.jsl which when double clicked to open does not open itself in the script window but runs other scripts called inside myScript.jsl while showing a modal window displaying "Script Running" and a Cancel button to stop further execution.

If this is possible to do in JSL, could I please have an example?

This should do what you are asking. I haven't verified that the cancel button works, as JMP ran all the scripts in the folder on my computer very quickly.

@Jed_Campbell  Thanks, 

It is not clear to me how your script (slightly modified version below) calls the main script in the path.

In my case the main script calls all the other scripts. This is the functionality I need.

Also, is it possible to capture and display the log which displayed (at the bottom) on my main script in the window (nw) generated in your script. Any way in my case, the original and the modified below script did not work.

Names Default To Here( 1 );

 path2Scripts = "C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Scripts_v0.1.4"; //change this as necessary

//get scripts to run
lstScripts = Files In Directory(path2Scripts);

//set up stop button
nw = New Window( "Running", << modal, 
	Text Box( "Running all the scripts" ),
	Button Box( "Cancel", Stop() )
);

For Each( {i}, lstScripts,
	If( Word( -1, i, "." ) == "jsl", //make sure it's a .jsl file
		include( path2Scripts || Char( i ) ); //run it
		Wait( 0 ); //this allows JMP to recognize if cancel button has been pressed
	)
);

nw << close window;

 What did I miss?

Ah, I think I misunderstood your original question. The script I provided is both showing a cancel button and running all the scripts in a folder. If I understand correctly, you already have the script made to run all the other scripts. In this case, the script for this file should look something like:

//!
//the //! comment on the first line causes the script to run, rather than open

Names Default To Here (1);
clear log();

//set up stop button
nw = New Window( "Running", << modal, 
	Text Box( "Running all the scripts" ),
	Button Box( "Cancel", Stop() )
);

include("path/to/main/scipt.jsl"); //your file that runs all the scripts

logtxt = get log();

You'll want to be sure to insert wait(0); statements in your main script file. Otherwise, JMP may not allow the cancel button to work.

[#5 · Accepted solution]

The key to making JSL auto run is adding this to the very first line of the script.  

 //!

If you double click on the script it will run and not open the script file.

for example, past this in an empty script and save it, then double click on it.

//!
Speak("ha, ha, I just ran a script.");
