I would like to programm a xbmc script function that only shows txt "please wait ...."
This window or dialog should not contain any button. Is this possible ?
With the dialog xbmc function allways a button is inside
Or even better has someone a code snippet ?

dialog progress doesn't sweets you?
it a better way to have a cancel button no ?

you can also update it to pass info to the user waiting in front of the dialog.

Sorry , I allready use a progressbar during a long copy inside the script ... just a little dialog or window "please wait"

- No kind of a Button
- If it would be possible to clean the progress bar from the cancel button ... this would be fine ...

I guess this is not possible with xbmc python ....

Or is it possible to load image (a little clock) as example and after a defined time
the image go away .....

If I would like to sleep inside a script for 10 Secounds this should only signal that the
script is running ....

The python code is easy to code with sleep but as long I do sleep without any dialog-open it could seems the script is not handling correctly ...


I hope someone could help

you can clean the progress bar by uodating it, and just write "please wait..."

Thanks ... this would work but there is still this cancel -button in the dialog ...

Is there may way to overpaint the button .... ?

Regards Hans

If you would press the button nothing would happen ....

you can handle it:

Code:

if ( DIALOG_PROGRESS.iscanceled() ): break

place a code to relaunch your dialog progress, and the script will continue, just a hack but should work.

Thank you

I wonna try to implement a own busy-dialog.
I guess this would be a nice feature enhancement for xbmc if you could
do the following

xbmc.busy(5)
sleep(5)

And during 5 secounds would be a animated gif on the screen.

you can also lock the gui if you want .

xbmc.busy(5)
sleep(5)

you can use busydialod in integrate in skin

PHP Code:

xbmc.executebuiltin( "ActivateWindow(busydialog)" )
                sleep( 5 )
                xbmc.executebuiltin( "Dialog.Close(busydialog)" )

Sorry ... I have written a little script ... no dialog comes to the front ...
Could it be that the default skin Confluence doesn't have this dialog ?

Code:

[CODE]
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

####################### IMPORTS #######################

import xbmc, xbmcgui
import os, sys, thread, stat, time, string, re

#######################################################

#######################################################
####################### MAIN ##########################
#######################################################
if __name__ == '__main__':
     dvd = 0

     xbmc.executebuiltin("ActivateWindow(busydialog)")
     dvd = xbmc.getDVDState()
     time.sleep(15)
     xbmc.executebuiltin("Dialog.Close(busydialog)")  

     print "DVD-State value : " + str(dvd)    

#######################################################

[/CODE]

After the execution I had this inside the log .......


:03:01 T:2915359600 M:1692446720 NOTICE: -->Python Interpreter Initialized<--

So it seems that busydialog is not valid inside Confluence ....

you're butchering the logs, but i'm fairly certain your build is outdated.

hi linuxluemmel,

I tested your code with 2 builds and confluence, work great

PHP Code:

import xbmc, time
    dvd = 0
    print "ActivateWindow(busydialog)"
    xbmc.executebuiltin("ActivateWindow(busydialog)")
    dvd = xbmc.getDVDState() 
    time.sleep(15)
    xbmc.executebuiltin("Dialog.Close(busydialog)")  
    print "Dialog.Close(busydialog)"
    print "DVD-State value : " + str(dvd) 


with r31123:

Code:

11:06:02 T:3384 M:294461440  NOTICE: ActivateWindow(busydialog)
11:06:18 T:3384 M:294252544  NOTICE: Dialog.Close(busydialog)
11:06:18 T:3384 M:294252544  NOTICE: DVD-State value : 3

hi linuxluemmel,

Now I know ... In next coming release it will be shown ... thanks

I saw that the xbmc function did return value 3 .....
Did you insert a dvd ?
I can do what I want ... the python code allways have a return value 3 ...-(

this would be the same problem I have
