Hi, I'm making a mod of the confluence skin, with the custom search using skin shortcuts. When I select the item, kodi makes a selection noise but doesn't respond in any way. Reviewing the logs, I have seen that it gives me the following error:

"Activate of window '10025' refused because there are active modal dialogs"

How could I solve it, and if you could tell me if I have to put some part of my code, I would appreciate it.

Thank you

Close any dialogs you have open using -

Quote:Dialog.Close(dialog[,force])
Close a dialog. Set force to true to bypass animations. Use (all,true) to close all opened dialogs at once.

Thanks for your answer, I already had dialog close set, which I may be putting wrong.

<content>
<onclick>Dialog.Close(dialog[,force])</onclick>
<include>skinshortcuts-group-searchmenu</include>
</content>

You have to specify ID or name of the dialog you want to close

e.g. To force close DialogVideoInfo.xml without a WindowClose animation use:
Dialog.Close(movieinformation,force)

To close it but allow the WindowClose animation to run use
Dialog.Close(movieinformation)

See here for names / IDs of windows
https://kodi.wiki/view/Window_IDs

And you can't add it to the content like that - it will need to be added to the corresponding item in your skinshortcuts-group-searchmenu.

I can't do it, it keeps giving me the same error. I add all the search engine code, see if I'm doing something wrong.

I have not added the dialog.close because it does not work for me

**Hitcher** · 2023-08-01, 17:58

Need to see the contents of your skinshortcuts-group-searchmenu include.

**realcopacetic** · 2023-08-02, 14:10

I'm seeing some people with this issue on my Skin for the shutdownmenu, both seem to be having the issue on Linux and I can't replicate it on any of my platforms (Windows, MacOS, Android)...

In Overrides.xml, I have. the group override:

xml:


<groupoverride group="shutdownmenu" condition="Window.IsActive(DialogButtonMenu.xml)">Dialog.Close(all)</groupoverride>

Not sure if I'm missing anything else...

**jurialmunkey** · 2023-08-02, 14:38

@realcopacetic - You most likely need to add the force flag to skip the WindowClose animations. WindowClose animation will keep the window open until the animation completes, which means the window is still open when you trigger the activatewindow command. Alternative you use a silent AlarmClock command to delay the trigger until after your animations complete.

Thanks for the suggestion. It was still not acting correctly then I eventually realized I had the filename as Overrides.xml instead of overrides.xml. I guess the file wasn't being recognized at all on Linux so the overrides were not being picked up. Fixing the case resolved the issues.

Lesson learned!

**jurialmunkey** · 2023-08-03, 11:21

Ah yeah, that'll do it. Linux and Mac are case sensitive filesystems. The one that always gets me is "DialogFullScreenInfo.xml" as I'm never sure if the S should be capitalised.
