Hi All,

I m creating a User Interface, with some textbox and now I m in need of inserting some buttons.

I have used the below coding for adding text box:

      with (dialogRows.add()) 

      {

        var NewStyle = textEditboxes.add({editContents:'Enter the Style Name', minWidth:180});

        }

And it is working fine. In the same manner I have tried for button:

        var NewBut = button.add({label:'search'});

But it is throwing an error.

Please help us to do the same.

Thanks,

Christy

#targetengine "session"

var myDialog = new Window('palette', 'Sample Interface');

var myGroup = myDialog.add('group', undefined, '');

var newButton1 = myGroup.add('button', undefined, 'Sample Button1', {name:'Button'});

var newButton2 = myGroup.add('button', undefined, 'Sample Button2', {name:'Button'});

myDialog.show();

newButton1.onClick = function() {

alert("button1");

}

 

newButton2.onClick = function() {

alert("button1");

}

Hope this will help you...

Hi Vandy,

Thanks for your response. But the thing is what you have suggested is a differnet way of creating the interface.

But I have followed is as specified in the Indesign Scripting reference.pdf file.

Also, in that reference PDF file, could not able to find any syntex for buttons. So that I have asked in forum.

Thanks,

Christy

The reason you cannot find it in the reference guide is because buttons are not supported by the old style dialog builder (http://jongware.mit.edu/indesigncs3jshelp/index_19.html). Thus Vandy88's suggestion to use ScriptUI instead.
