How to show the action's "Record Stop" dialog box using Javascript?

To show action's "Record Stop" dialog box (I mean this😞

I use this code:

var desc27 = new ActionDescriptor();


desc27.putString( charIDToTypeID("Msge"), "My message");


desc27.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID("Cntn"), true);




executeAction(charIDToTypeID("Stop"), desc27, DialogModes.ALL);//***


app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;

And when user clicks on the "Continue" button - everything works as it should.

BUT. When user clicks on the "Stop" button - I get an exception: "User cancelled the operation" at line marked ***

Mu question is: this is normal behavior, or this needs to be fixed?

This code snippet shows how I ended up emulating the actions palette's handling of "stop with continue" in my script Convert Actions File | Tonton Pixel:

function stop (message, _continue)


{


    var desc = new ActionDescriptor ();


    desc.putString (app.stringIDToTypeID ("message"), message);


    desc.putBoolean (app.stringIDToTypeID ("continue"), _continue || false);


    app.executeAction (app.stringIDToTypeID ("stop"), desc, DialogModes.ALL);


}


//


try


{


    alert ("Do something...");


    stop ("Stop or Continue?", true);


    alert ("Do something more...");


}


catch (e)


{


    if (e.number !== 8007)  // Not a user cancel error


    {


        try


        {


            stop (e.message.replace (/^.*\n- /, ""));


        }


        catch (e)


        {


        }


    }


}

And so, yes, what you described is normal behaviour! ;-)
