ReloadUI

[sbrett]

Hello Gentlemen, I have some code here where I want to call a ReloadUI console command from script, but it's not currently working. Is there a way I can reload the UI automatically from inside a lua script? I don' t think the scripts can call macros anymore or else i'd use that.

Here is the code.

StaticPopupDialogs["Buffer Full"] = {
text = "Buffer full, please reload UI.",
button1 = "Yes",
button2 = "No",
OnAccept = function()
ReloadUI();
end,
OnCancel = function()
ReloadUI();
end,
timeout = 5,
whileDead = 1,
hideOnEscape = 1
};

Am I using the ReloadUI() syntax correctly, am I missing something? I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong here. The timeout is supposed to fire the OnCancel, yet, I wait 5 seconds and nothing happens. Perhaps that is incorrect? Strangly enough, if I click yes on the popup dialogue, it works fine, but the cancel doesn't seem to... Any advice? Thank you.

/rl

that's all you need.

/rl isn't default ui.

ReloadUI() is correct, but it requires a hardware event.

well, is there anyway to dump the chat log buffer without having to do a reload ui or hardware event of some kind?

Logout or exit will. I'm gonna guess that's not what you'd like to hear.

And you're sure you didn't have AceConsole (part of the Ace2 library) loaded or some other library that adds slash commands? I haven't tried it with no addons, because I always thought it wouldn't work. Same way /dump doesn't work if you don't have AceConsole....
