I'm programmatically creating notebooks containing dynamic content. When a new notebook is being created, a window pops up:

enter image description here

I then manually click on "Continue" and it will create the notebook. The same steps happen for each notebook being created. How to automatically deal with this?

  • $\begingroup$ No; How to set DynamicEvaluationTimeout and DynamicUpdating as part of my program and resetting them to default right before the program is complete? I'd like to avoid using GUI. $\endgroup$ – qazwsx Sep 27 '13 at 22:28

You can programatically change DynamicEvaluationTimeout like this:

SetOptions[$FrontEnd, "DynamicEvaluationTimeout" -> 30]

On my machine it was set to 6 by default.

Similary for DynamicUpdating where the options are True, False and Automatic

SetOptions[$FrontEnd, "DynamicUpdating" -> True]

I think that just changing DynamicEvaluationTimeout to something high enough should fix your problem.
