Message And Timer For A Long Cook

[mlesin]

My SOP node is cooking long time.

I think it'd be great to add a dialog about what is happening and ability to interrupt it, but I can't get how to do that.

I've tried to redefine OP_Node::getCookTimerLabel() and use start/stopCookTimer() inside my cook method, but dialog still doesn't appear...

And, as an ability to interrupt cooking process, I should periodically check wasInterrupted() function, right?

take a look at this sop

uv uniform

It uses the cooking dialog and interrupts from UT_Interrupt.h

UT_Interrupt		  *boss;

//check for user interrupts
  boss = UTgetInterrupt();

  boss->setEnabled(1, 0);
  boss->setAppTitle("UVuniform");
  boss->setLongOpText("Fetching uvs");
  boss->setLongPercent(0);
  boss->setInterruptable(1);

  boss->setLongOpText("smoothing grid");
  boss->setLongPercent(0.1);
  test = boss->opInterrupt(5);

Hey Simon,

Do you find that the LongText stuff gets output to stdout if you're executing from within hscript or rscript?

I've never tried it....

Thanks, that helped a lot!
