Hi guys,

I've inherited the default user preferences screen and added my own fields. On this form (which is a dialog) I've added a button with an action behind it. When the user clicks on this button "Test Connection" it should perform a check and it should show a notification dialog on top of the existing dialog, without closing any dialogs. The inherited view:

<openerp> 
 <data> 
 <!--Inherit res.partner view--> 
 <record id="view_res_users_inherit_outlook" model="ir.ui.view"> 
 <field name="name">res.users.inherit.outlook</field> 
 <field name="model">res.users</field> 
 <field name="inherit_id" ref="base.view_users_form_simple_modif"/> 
 <field name="sequence" eval="500"/> 
 <field name="arch" type="xml"> 
 <xpath expr="//group[2]" position="after"> 
 <group> 
 <field name="should_sync"/> 
 <field name="email" attrs="{'invisible': [('should_sync','=',False)],'required':[('should_sync','=',True)]}"/> 
 <field name="password" attrs="{'invisible': [('should_sync','=',False)],'required':[('should_sync','=',True)]}"/> 
 <button name="credentials" string="Test connection" type="object" attrs="{'invisible': [('should_sync','!=',True)]}"/> 
 </group> 
 </xpath> 
 </field> 
 </record> 
 </data> 
</openerp>

The python function:

class user_settings_outlook(models.Model): 
 _inherit = 'res.users' 
 should_sync = fields.Boolean('Sync with Outlook') 
 email = fields.Char('Outlook e-mail') 
 password = fields.Char('Outlook password') 

     @api.one 
     def check_outlook_credentials(self): 
         _logger.critical('Do a check here ' + str(self.email)) 
         return None

The code to re-open the wizard:

 @api.multi 
 def check_outlook_credentials(self): 
 self.ensure_one() 
 _logger.critical('Do a check here ' + str(self.email)) 
 view_id = self.pool['ir.model.data'].xmlid_to_res_id( 
            self._cr, self._uid, 'my_module.view_res_users_inherit_outlook
') 
 return { 
 'context': self.env.context, 
 'view_type': 'form', 
 'view_mode': 'form', 
 'res_model': 'res.users', 
 'res_id': self.id, 
 'view_id': view_id, 
 'type': 'ir.actions.act_window', 
 'target': 'new', 
}

When I click on the button "Test connection" the whole dialog is closed, while it shouldn't. The wizard is automatically re-opened but it is first closed and then opened again though. Is there any way to prevent any closing and re-opening and just showing a warning?
