Dialog box within LISP routine causes AutoCAD to not respond

[eleonard]

I have loaded a lisp routine that contains a dialog box. Once the dialog box opens autocad quits responding and i can't even select anything from my pull downs. What could cause this to happen?

Someone here with experience with dialogs would probably need to see your lisp and the dialog code.

My husband always says to let people stew in a problem for a while and eventually they will figure it out.

I had placed some information in a place in my routine that it didn't like. I think I got it figured out.

If you write the code in wrong order, it will hang AutoCAD
or in fact AutoCAD is waiting for user response from the dialog that your code not can handle.

: ) Happy Computing !

Hi Emily,
My experience if dialog box just opened and it hang,it ususally code in lisp without ";(setq ans (start_dialog))",test this code below.
LSP File

(defun c:ssi (/ ans dcl_id h w)
(setq dcl_id (load_dialog "Sample Show Image.DCL"))
(if
(not (new_dialog "shi" dcl_id))
(exit)
)
(setq w (dimx_tile "im"))
(setq h (dimy_tile "im"))
(start_image "im")
(vector_image 0 0 0 h 250)
(vector_image 0 h w h 250)
(vector_image w h w 0 250)
(vector_image w 0 0 0 250)
(slide_image 0 0 w h "Yuasa Logo")
(end_image)
;(setq ans (start_dialog))
(princ)
)

DCL File

shi : dialog {label = "SAMPLE SHOW IMAGE";
: column {label = "Preview of image";
: image {key = "img";
height = 20; // to set height of box image
width = 30; // to set height of box image
aspect_ratio = 1;
color = 2; // to set color of back ground
//is_enabled = false;
//is_tab_stop = false;
fixed_height = true;
fixed_width = true;}
ok_only;
}
}
