Showing Plugin config dialog from __init__

[HomeAutomationPlugins.com]

Hi,

I'd like to show the plugin config dialog when my plugin is enabled from within in __init__ function if a condition is met - is this possible?

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

	def __init__(self, pluginId, pluginDisplayName, pluginVersion, pluginPrefs):
		indigo.PluginBase.__init__(self, pluginId, pluginDisplayName, pluginVersion, pluginPrefs)
		self.debug = True
		self.lightwaveRfUdpPort = 9760
		
		if not self.pluginPrefs.has_key("verboseDebug"):
			** SHOW THE DIALOG HERE ** 

Thanks!

Not possible. Plugins run in a completely separate process than the Mac Client which shows all UI (and, the Indigo server for that matter). So the Mac client must drive when UI is displayed because it has to query the server which then queries the plugin process for the UI.
