Re: [cdt-debug-dev] Modal error dialog boxes during debugging
|
Øyvind,
We are using different ways to indicate errors. Except modal dialog, we
display messages in the views and element labels.
But in some serious situations displaying the dialog is the best way to
notify the user.
For you to check the log file and understand the problem is easy because you
know the internals, but the average user is not interested to do it.
Anyway, I agree that the number of the situations when we have to display
the dialog should be reduced to minimum. It would be a big help if you can
point to the places when it happens.
Thanks,
Mikhail

Subject: [cdt-debug-dev] Modal error dialog boxes during debugging
IMHO, modal dialog boxes to show error messages are used too extensively
in CDT.
This is especially annoying with Linux GTK & the default Debian window
manager as some SWT problem causes the modal dialog boxes to appear
*behind* the Eclipse window.
It is perfectly normal for errors to occur during CDT/GDB debugging.
In my CDT plugin I'd like to log GDB console errors in a non-intrusive
manner(i.e. no dialog boxes) when executing GDB scripts.
CDebugCorePlugin.log() seems handy.
Q: Would patches to convert various obnoxious dialog boxes to
CDebugCorePlugin.log() be welcome?
