Any way to bring up a custom message box via post processor

Problems and questions
1

Hi Les,

is there any way to have a custom messagebox displayed on screen during post processing, if a specific condition is found.

Example, something like this (I just made up “post.Messagebox”):

if (Var > 10) then
         post.Messagebox("Your Var is greater than 10, post processing aborted")
end

And also if possible, is there any way to cancel post processing.
Is there any code I can add in my “if” statement that aborts the post processing.

So in a nutshell, an error message box pops up on screen and post processing is aborted.

Thanks,

Keith.

what you want is:
post.Error(“Your Var is greater than 10, post processing aborted”)
This will print your error message in the post processor dialog and stop the post. If you want to warn that there could be a problem without aborting use post.Warning(“You have been warned”)
Both of these will force the post processor progress dialog to stay open so you can read the message(s).

If you want to print the value of a variable at the same time you can use something like this:
post.Error("Your Var is ", myVar, “. Maximum is 10, post processing aborted”)

Thanks Les,

that is absolutely magic. That really baked my biscuit.

Can’t believe I’ve had Sheetcam all these years and never delved into variables.
