Hello Alias Community,
I’m encountering a persistent issue with the AlStringPromptBox function in the Alias API while developing a plugin. Despite following the documentation and testing various configurations, the function consistently returns sFailure (status code 1), preventing the display of a string input dialog.\
I’m triggering the function via a menu item in a plugin initialized with AlContinuousFunction. The AlUniverse::isInitialized() check confirms the environment is ready. AlStringPromptBox fails with statusCode = 1,
Possible causes I’ve considered include UI state conflicts, modal issues, or an API bug/incompatibility, but I’ve been unable to isolate the root cause. The documentation mentions sFailure can occur if called too early in initialization, but this doesn’t align with my menu-driven trigger.
I’d appreciate any insights, workarounds, or confirmation of known issues from the community or Alias support. If this requires a fix or patch, please consider addressing it in a future release. Attaching my plugin code or logs is possible upon request.
Thanks and Regard's
Karthick. P
