Docking a dialog created with a script, possible?

Hi,

I'm relativly new at this. I'm making a script for InDesign that has a user interface dialog. I managed to make a modeless "palette" dialog, as opposed to a modal "dialog".

I was hoping that a modeless dialog would have the ability to dock within the InDesign user interface, like the native InDesign panels (layers, pages, links...).

After trying and testing and searching on the internet, I didn't find anything about how to do this and I'm suspecting that it is not possible to do this with a script.

So my question is: Is it possible to dock modeless dialogs created with a script?

 

Cheers,

Dz

No, that's not possible. For docking dialogs you need a C++ plug-in or CEP.
