How to set a Navbar to load just after Bridge stars?

Hi all

I´ve written a script to add 3 buttons to a top navbar. Running from Extended Script works perfectlly. However when adding this script to Bridge´s startup folder (to run it one Bridge opens)..then I get an erro. This could be because a script should wait until the loader finishes. But how I could tell Bridge to run this script after Bridge completes loading the panels???

Here´s the code:

var b = app.document.navbars.filesystem.bottom;

b.height = 50;

b.visible = true;

var b1 = b.add ("button",[0,0,0,0],"Button 1...");

b1.size = [200,30];

b1.location = [10,10];

var b2 = b.add ("button",[0,0,0,0], "Button 2...");

b2.size = [200,30];

b2.location = [230,10];

var b3 = b.add ("button",[0,0,0,0], "Button 3...");

b3.size = [200,30];

b3.location = [450,10];

Best Regards

Gustavo.

Yeah I think you are trying to load this before the document is there…

#target bridge
onDocLoaded = function( event ) {
          if ( event.object instanceof Document && event.type == 'loaded' ) {
                    loadNavButtons();
                    return { handled: true };
          };
};
function loadNavButtons() {
          var b = app.document.navbars.filesystem.bottom;
          b.height = 50;
          b.visible = true;
          var b1 = b.add ("button",[0,0,0,0],"Button 1...");
          b1.size = [200,30];
          b1.location = [10,10];
          var b2 = b.add ("button",[0,0,0,0], "Button 2...");
          b2.size = [200,30];
          b2.location = [230,10];
          var b3 = b.add ("button",[0,0,0,0], "Button 3...");
          b3.size = [200,30];
          b3.location = [450,10];
};
// Register event handler
app.eventHandlers.push( { handler: onDocLoaded } );

Very direct and perfect Muppet!

Thank you so much

I copied the code and worked but I assume I do not know the portion of code you wrote. I need to learn how to register these events in Bridge haha.

Does Bridge JavaScript reference covers it?

Best Regards

Gustavo.

Yeap the Bridge guide covers events… You need to tell the what event you are interested in tracking… Then provide a function of what to do when the event happens… Here you buttons won't be added until a document window has opened and loaded…
