Hello Scilab devs,<br>
<br>
uiwait() is a builtin used once and only in the function <span
style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">datatipCreatePopupMenu().<br>
Apparently, it is used to wait for an answer from the
user/Context menu before returning.<br>
<br>
Can this function be used for other uicontrols?<br>
I mean: it would be useful to be able to turn </span><span
style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">modal </span><span
style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">some (any?) ui object,<br>
for instance waiting for a button being clicked, for an item in
a drop-down <br>
list to be selected, etc, before going on with the processing.<br>
<br>
This function is not documented. Is it on purpose? Can it be
used only on<br>
a uiContextMenu handle?<br>
</span></blockquote>
A trial answers:<br>
<br>
<tt>--> uiwait(gca())</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>uiwait: Wrong type for input argument #1: A 'Uicontextmenu'
handle expected.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><br>
A pity.<br>
By the way, <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">datatipCreatePopupMenu()
seems to be some dead code,<br>
with some other SCI\modules\graphics\macros\datatips\* macros.<br>
