How to disable the warning " No pixel is highlighted by more than 50%"?

Hello everyone.

Tell me how I can disable the warning " Attention: No pixel is highlighted by more than 50%. The borders of the selected area will not be visible."during the execution of my script?

I tried to write at the beginning of the script 
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
but it did not help.

This is a bug.
I will see what can be done later. Now there is no time.

For any other channels, except RGB, everything works.

Another bug occurs when you use (for any channel)
executeAction (idsetd, desc113, DialogModes.ALL);
Not sure that they will fix it.
 
If you set
var idRGB = stringIDToTypeID ("gray");

then Photoshops CS6 - CC2020 crashes !!
They definitely have to fix it!!!
 
EDIT:
If you need this selection to create a mask, it’s easier to use AppyImage to an already created mask.
 
EDIT: 27/02/2020
If you are satisfied, then you can make a selection not from the composite RGB channel, but only from the red (or green) channel.
In this case, there will be no messages.
 

 

// make selection from red channel

try {
    var d = new ActionDescriptor();
    var r = new ActionReference();
    r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("channel"), stringIDToTypeID("selection"));
    d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
    var r1 = new ActionReference();
    r1.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("channel"), stringIDToTypeID("channel"), stringIDToTypeID("red"));
    d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("to"), r1);
    executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);
    }
catch (e) { alert(e); }



If you still need to make selection only from the composite RGB channel, the code below will do this and there will also be no messages.

 

 

 

try {
    // make temp black alpha channel

    var d = new ActionDescriptor();
    var d1 = new ActionDescriptor();
    d1.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("colorIndicates"), stringIDToTypeID("maskIndicator"), stringIDToTypeID("maskedAreas"));
    var d2 = new ActionDescriptor();
    d2.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("red"), 255);
    d2.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("green"), 0);
    d2.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("blue"), 0);
    d1.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("color"), stringIDToTypeID("RGBColor"), d2);
    d1.putInteger(stringIDToTypeID("opacity"), 50);
    d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("new"), stringIDToTypeID("channel"), d1);
    executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("make"), d, DialogModes.NO);

    // apply RGB to alpha channel

    var d = new ActionDescriptor();
    var d1 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var r = new ActionReference();
    r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("channel"), stringIDToTypeID("channel"), stringIDToTypeID("RGB"));
    r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("merged"));
    d1.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("to"), r);
    d1.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("preserveTransparency"), true);
    d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("with"), stringIDToTypeID("calculation"), d1);
    executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("applyImageEvent"), d, DialogModes.NO);

    // make selection from alpha channel

    var d = new ActionDescriptor();
    var r = new ActionReference();
    r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("channel"), stringIDToTypeID("selection"));
    d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
    var r1 = new ActionReference();
    r1.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("channel"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
    d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("to"), r1);
    executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);
    var d = new ActionDescriptor();

    // delete temp alpha channel

    var r = new ActionReference();
    r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("channel"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
    d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
    executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("delete"), d, DialogModes.NO);
    }
catch (e) { alert(e); }

Perhaps you know how to read whether Masked / Selected Areas are checked in Quick Mask Options?

      Find the line that causes the message.
      Insert 

       

      alert(app.displayDialogs);

       

      in front of it.

      Perhaps somewhere in the script there is a change in this parameter (or you call a third-party script that changes this parameter).
       
      P.S. Photoshop actually produces a slightly different message in English. Perhaps you have a free translation.

        Thanks for the answer! I inserted this code literally before each line of my script, each time I received the message "DialogModes.NO". But the warning is "Attention: No pixel is highlighted by more than 50%. The borders of the selected area will not be visible." appears anyway. Is there another way that I can try?

        Perhaps in the Russian version of Photoshop, the warning was not correctly translated or Google translator did not accurately translate my message from Russian into English.

        I am afraid that particular warning (about no pixels being more than 50% selected) may be an unavoidable botherance at current.
