Hello,

I am trying to add a dialog windows but I keep getting:

var _dlg = app.dialogs.add({ name: "single line" });

this is the code and I tried several approaches with code from the internet in both InDesign and Illustrator.

I asked around a bit, and apparently there's no "Dialog" object inside of "regular" Illustrator ExtendScript:

[InDesign has a more] sophisticated scripting interface so it has it's 'own' ScriptUI built-in and also ScriptUI could be used in it as well - whereas in Illustrator we've just got the regular ScriptUI available

Thanks to Silly-V

Can you give more detail?

However, Illustrator's ExtendScript not support Dialogs Object.

You can use Script UI class in ExtendScript.

CEP Extension has two deferent scripting engines.

You can reference HTML Sample Extension in Adobe CEP GitHub.
