cancel all messages doesn't work (8.1.1 rc1)

[jmburnod]

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

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

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!
