UI escape key returns alert dialog

Question

I am stuck with a problem that I am not sure how to resolve and would like to ask for help from his community.

The Problem:

Canceling the UI dialog via the escape key on the keyboard and the UI Cancel button returns an alert message.

function dialogTest()

{

// DIALOG

// ======

var dialog = new Window("dialog");

dialog.text = "Script Settings";

dialog.orientation = "row";

dialog.alignChildren = ["left","top"];

dialog.spacing = 10;

dialog.margins = 16;

// GROUP1

// ======

var group1 = dialog.add("group", undefined, {name: "group1"});

group1.orientation = "column";

group1.alignChildren = ["fill","top"];

group1.spacing = 10;

group1.margins = 0;

// PANEL1

// ======

var panel1 = group1.add("panel", undefined, undefined, {name: "panel1"});

panel1.text = "User Settings";

panel1.orientation = "column";

panel1.alignChildren = ["left","top"];

panel1.spacing = 10;

panel1.margins = 15;

var radiobutton1 = panel1.add("radiobutton", undefined, undefined, {name: "radiobutton1"});

radiobutton1.text = "User 1";

radiobutton1.value = true;

var radiobutton2 = panel1.add("radiobutton", undefined, undefined, {name: "radiobutton2"});

radiobutton2.text = "User 2";

var radiobutton3 = panel1.add("radiobutton", undefined, undefined, {name: "radiobutton3"});

radiobutton3.text = "User 3";

var radiobutton4 = panel1.add("radiobutton", undefined, undefined, {name: "radiobutton4"});

radiobutton4.text = "User 4";

var checkbox1 = panel1.add("checkbox", undefined, undefined, {name: "checkbox1"});

checkbox1.text = "Checkbox 1";

checkbox1.alignment = ["left","center"];

// GROUP2

// ======

var group2 = dialog.add("group", undefined, {name: "group2"});

group2.orientation = "column";

group2.alignChildren = ["fill","top"];

group2.spacing = 10;

group2.margins = 0;

var ok = group2.add("button", undefined, undefined, {name: "ok"});

ok.text = "Save";

var cancel = group2.add("button", undefined, undefined, {name: "cancel"});

cancel.text = "Cancel";

dialog.items = {

ok: ok, // button ok

cancel: cancel // button cancel

};

dialog.items.array = [ok, cancel];

dialog.show();

newFunction(radiobutton1, radiobutton2, radiobutton3, radiobutton4, checkbox1);

}

//=============================

dialogTest();

function newFunction(radiobutton1, radiobutton2, radiobutton3, radiobutton4, checkbox1) {

alert("User 1 = " +radiobutton1.value); return

// alert("User 2 = " +radiobutton2.value);

// alert("User 3 = " +radiobutton3.value);

// alert("User 4 = " +radiobutton4.value);

// alert("Check Box 1 = " +checkbox1.value);

}

if (!(dialog.show() - 1)) newFunction(radiobutton1, radiobutton2, radiobutton3, radiobutton4, checkbox1);

It look like ESC end the Show Dialog. Your script the preforms your newfunction that does the alert so its either true of false depending on which radio button is checked. You have set up not cancel test so enter and cancel do the same thing. The script ends after you acknowledge the alert.

Esc Cancelled the Dialog not the script. If fact on windows it often hard to stop a script with ESC or Break. If a script is in an endless loop I usually have to kill Photoshop the stop the a script. I doe not know if its a Photoshop problem of a widows problem. I would think the Photoshop would need to field the ESC and Kill the script. Scripts do not get signal to terminate. The System or Photoshop would need to terminate the script.
