Ghost UI page in doors

[Frank Beister]

I have programmed a door and since a few changes I get a common sill settings dialog page additional to mine. It looks like it would depend of the subtype of the object, because there is no code or call out of the UI script, which could lead to GS code.
Can I turn it off?

Hi,

Check the master script also, it is run before the UI script. Also check master scripts of macros called from the master script, and so on… The macro structure of Doors and Windows is quite complicated.

I know. This is a 2 year neartlly fulltime programming job. I used the GS macros so far and got NO ghost UI page. Now, since I have deleted definively all GS macro calls I get the UI page of unknown source.

The “Sill” macro displays a tabpage, which can be shown using the bSillPage or bSillPageUSA boolean parameters. “Sill” is called from “WallholeFraming”. Maybe one of your macros uses “WallholeFraming” (directly or indirectly)?

Peter, please check this:
If I create a new door object with subtype Door, I always get the sill’s tabpage.
If I choose a door subtype wit “GS” in the name, I will get no sill’s tabpage.

“If I choose a door subtype wit “GS” in the name, I will get no sill’s tabpage.”
And if I do that, I get a very lot of subtype parameters, I do not need inside my object. I haven’t changed the subtype a long time ago, so it has to be something else.
I think, I have deleted a GS parameter with a default value, that disables the ui page provided by the subtype. If the subtype wouldn’t be inside of a DLL, I could open and have a look on it.

Sorry, I concentrated on a “Sill” page, I will check with my colleagues.

I think, I got it:
It is the following parameter, which makes the UI page invisible, if is part of te parameter list:

ac_wido_hide_options, Integer, default/value 3

Yes, that’s it. Here is some help about the automatic page: https://gdl.graphisoft.com/tips-and-tricks/reveal-options-automatic-or-scripted
