Process Window not working in MacOS

Aathil — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 09:28:20 GMT

I have a simple process window that is working properly in Windows. But it is not even showing in MacOS.

Below is a simplified version of my code :

Int32 maxPercentageValue = 100; GS::UniString title("Title"); GS::UniString subTitle("subTitle"); int renderPhaseCount = 10; ACAPI_Interface(APIIo_InitProcessWindowID, &title, &renderPhaseCount); ACAPI_Interface(APIIo_SetNextProcessPhaseID, &subTitle, &maxPercentageValue); //Start rendering different sets of elements(walls, stairs, doors...) where each set //corresponds to different phases of the process window for(int i=0;i<totalElementsInCurrentSet;i++){ // Render one element from the set ... //Update process window Int32 percentage = (Int32) i*100/totalElementsInCurrentSet; ACAPI_Interface(APIIo_SetProcessValueID, &percentage,NULL) } ACAPI_Interface(APIIo_SetNextProcessPhaseID, &subTitle, &maxPercentageValue); // Do the same for the next set... //Close process window after completion of rendering ACAPI_Interface(APIIo_CloseProcessWindowID, NULL, NULL); //Show render report( I don't know if this code affects the process window or not) DGAlert(DG_INFORMATION, "Render report", "Done", "", "OK");

I tried the example Addons(Communication_Manager, DG_Test), the process window is showing properly for those in MacOS.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

On mac you need to call APIIo_IsProcessCanceledID after APIIo_SetProcessValueID for the process window to appear. It is also recommended to handle the return value and stop the process if it returns true.

Thanks @Viktor Kovacs . That fixed the issue.
Also just wondering... Is there any way to control the behaviour of the process window on mouse-hover? I wanted to show a different text message than "Abort".

As far as I know you can't modify the abort text.
