I have a simple .ngc file I run to run the dust shoe across the entire
table. I'd like to add a UI button to run this.
But there are other users of this machine. I would like to avoid just
loading the file and having to run it manually. However, pressing a
"Clean Table Now" button with no further prompting (regardless of
whether it auto-runs or not) is kinda dangerous. i.e. "I didn't realize
I had to remove the bit before starting it" is predictably gonna come up
over and over.
I imagine after pressing "Clean Table Now" UI button, you'd get a popup
"Ensure bit is removed, dust shoe is attached without the spacer, and
press (some key) to run or (another key) to abort". And ideally return
to the original file without reloading (like the tool probe routine).
I know error messages keep popping up in small red text in the lower
right hand corner, and remain until scrolled by other messages. I don't
think that's adequate, honestly. It's a poor way to represent error
messages and worse for trying to be interactive.
What's the best way to do that?
