Hi On my lathe, I have completely changed the tool change behaviour, removed the AXIS dialog from the module and just implemented tool number updating via AXIS.
In doing so I found that the tool change dialog is displayed by hal_manualtoolchange, which is a python module and as such is directly editable within the EMC file tree. It uses TKInter libraries and looks like TkInter dialogs just need :- 'dialogname'.initial_focus.focus_set() and 'dialogname'.grab_set() to grab focus and become modal dialogs. I'll try this on my small mill when I get a chance, but if anyone else gets there first, happy hacking Schooner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
