Add a skip button to wait_for_user?

[TimFeinstein]

Hello,

I want to add a button to the wait_for_user dialog.  My macro processes a
large number of images with a single user interaction for each image, and
once in a while an image comes up that is inappropriate for analysis.  It
is not always easy to detect which images can't be analyzed automatically.
 Does anyone know if you can put a 'skip' button with programmable
functionality (i.e., close active window and move on to the next) in the
dialog?  

Thanks,


Tim

What about an if statement to skip a whole block of code if a condition is or is not met?

Hi Tim,

I've never been able to add buttons to wait for user or dialogs actually but you could have an extra dialog with two radio buttons or checkboxes to process the current image or not. This should only add one more click for the user. I always think non-modal dialogs would be very useful in the macro language too.

Thanks,

Matt

Or, instead of a dialog box, you could also use getBoolean("Skip image?") right after the waitforuser command...

Hi Tim,

what about asking the user to close inappropriate images?

You could have
   id=getImageID();
before waitForUser, and afterwards check with
    isOpen(id)
whether the image has been closed during the 'Wait For User' phase.

Hi folks,

After reading through some related threads, I came across a great way to
add functionality to the waitForUser dialog - right after the
waitForUser(); line, add one or more if() statements detecting whether
shift or ctrl is down.  These essentially give branching options from the
one OK button.  I found that this works perfectly for skipping a section
in a repeated analysis without exiting the macro.

It looks like this:

waitForUser("Select the cilia, or Shift+click to skip");
if (isKeyDown("Shift") == true) {
        selectWindow(name);
        Run("Close);
}
else {
//all the analysis steps
}

Best,


Tim

Hi.

Good solution. Just do not forget to release shift key with
setKeyDown("none");

;)
