Adding elements to a Dialog after it's been created using a resource string

The most dynamic Photoshop Script Dialoig I have ever seen is the one X programed for the Plug-in Script "Image Processor Pro". Download it from Russell Brown's web site and install it.  You will see it under menu File>Automate>Image Processor Pro.  You can dynamicly add and delete Tabs to and from the center section of the dialog and even save added tabs configuration for use in the future.   Its done using and writeing XML configuration files.

Are you using CS5? A lot of ScriptUI code that worked in CS4 or earlier vesions don't work in Photoshop CS5 but do in ExtendScript Toolkit 3.

Like Paul, I don't use resource string to create a dialog. Seems to me that if you are doing to use autolayout, using resource string makes it much harder to edit.

I have given up using resource string as they get too complicated, I think the problem is that it would require bounds ....

var window_res = "dialog { \
     orientation: 'row', \
     alignChildren: 'top', \
     preferredSize: [500, 500], \
}";
var btnPnlResource =
   "panel { text: 'Build it', bounds:[15,330,365,375], \
      testBtn: Button { text:'Test', \
         bounds:[15,15,115,35] }, \
      buildBtn: Button { text:'Build',\
         bounds:[125,15,225,35], \
      properties:{name:'ok'} }, \
      cancelBtn: Button { text:'Cancel',\
         bounds:[235,15,335,35], \
      properties:{name:'cancel'} } \
   }";
dlg = new Window(window_res);
dlg.btnPnl = dlg.add(btnPnlResource);
dlg.show();
