Hi All,
I noticed that"cancel all messages" btn doesn't work.
Just use this to cancel all messages
Code: Select all
on stopAllPending
repeat for each line aLine in the pendingmessages
cancel item 1 of aLine
end repeat
end stopAllPending
Edit: same with 8.1.1 rc2
Best regards
Jean-Marc

Hi Jean-Marc,
this is possibly not a bug.
'For each' enumerates top-down and may be not fast enough.
You could try the following (in some situations one may need even more 'outer' repeats than two):
Code: Select all
repeat 2
repeat for each line aLine in the pendingmessages
cancel item 1 of aLine
end repeat
end repeat
Kind regards, Hermann

Hermann.
I think Jean-Marc was saying that the loop solution worked all the time, but the "cancel..." btn at the bottom of the pendingMessages pane did not.

Hi Craig.
They do it (already) this way in the palette:
Code: Select all
command cancelAllMessages
local tPendingMessages, tMessage
if lSelectedCard is not "Pending Messages" then exit cancelAllMessages
put the cREVPendingMessages of me into tPendingMessages
repeat for each line tMessage in tPendingMessages
cancel item 1 of tMessage
end repeat
lock screen
revIDEPendingMessagesRefresh
disableFrameItem "cancelAll"
unlock screen
end cancelAllMessages
As I said, this may be too slow. If you have for example a timer loop, say every 8 millisecs, then it's kind of a lottery to cancel it by one such loop . At least my animation examples need several such loops for a "STOP ALL".

Sorry for the edit. Safari 10 kicks me out every 2 minutes.

Oh, I learn, this button doesn't work from several points of view.
Misunderstanding by me, sorry for that!
