ilogic- allow user to control screen while code is running

[Anonymous]

I want to run an illogic code.

Within the code are a serious of simple message boxes.

During a message box pause; I'd like the user to be able to select the view cube  and rotate the model.

I can rotate the model with my 3d mouse, but cant use my regular mouse to rotate the model via the view cube

Is this possible somehow?

thanks in advance

Lynlaysaymo,

What your asking is: "Is there a way to get Non-Modal (Modeless) message boxes in iLogic" to which, the answer is unfortunately, No.

There are potential work-around's to this issue, but I doubt you will want to try to implement them.

For example:

The work being performed by the message box could be replaced with custom code compiled in visual studio as a .dll.

You could then reference the DLL with the iLogic rule and instead of presenting a standard message box, however, you would present your 'custom messagebox' which you would have built to be non-modal. It would appear looking much the same as a messagebox, but the user would be able to click 'out' of the messagebox and activate the inventor commands.
