File.OpenFolderDialog not waiting, caller continues before dialog opens

[sjsepan3]

GetFolderName appears to return with empty value before dialog is shown; the value I select in the dialog is not getting into the variable I check.

` '------------------------------------------------ Function GetFolderName() returnValue = ""

WriteError("before") returnValue = File.OpenFolderDialog("c:\") WriteError("after") Return returnValue EndFunction

`

@sjsepan3 I mistakenly called the SmallBasicApplication.BeginInvoke method at the start of the OpenFolderDialog function, which invokes the given method after the currnet method is completed. I just should call SmallBasicApplication.Invoke (which I use in all other places in the lib). Also, the Return "" statement at the end of the function must be removed. I fixed the bug and the fix will be available in the next update. Thanks.

@sjsepan3 It's available now in sVB v2.8.4. In this version you can also use the turtle can fill an area, by calling the CreateFigure and FillFigure methods.

X = Turtle.X
Y = Turtle.Y

Turtle.CreateFigure()
Turtle.Move(200)
Turtle.TurnRight()
Turtle.Move(200)
Turtle.TurnRight()
Turtle.Move(200)
Turtle.TurnRight()
Turtle.Move(200)
Turtle.FillFigure()

Turtle.CreateFigure()
Turtle.TurnLeft()
Turtle.Move(200)
Turtle.MoveTo(200, 200)
Turtle.MoveTo(350, 200)
Turtle.MoveTo(X, Y)
GraphicsWindow.BrushColor = Colors.Red
Turtle.FillFigure()

File.OpenFolderDialog works great here too. Thanks!
