Hi there,

I've got the following variable as a UI layout of a window, I am trying to access btn_one button, but with no success.

var w = new Window("dialog {  \
    margins: 15, \
        btn_one: Button { \
            text: 'Button', \
            size: [100,25], \
            alignment:['right', 'center'] \
        }, \
    }");

Any help on achieving this? I need tried the following, it doesn't work.

btn_one.onClick = function(){
}

Thanks

Correct answer xbytor2

In your case, this may work:

w.btn_one.onClick();

Not sure because I never build windows that way. I create the Window first then add the button on a separate line.

w.btn_one.onClick(); doesn't work

I have tried something like this previously:

cal.add("button", [165,40,275,60], "stuff");

But how do I add the settings, like on the example above, on this model? size, alignment and all others?

cal.add("button", [165,40,275,60], "stuff");cal.add("button", [165,40,275,60], "stuff");cal.add("button", [165,40,275,60], "stuff");cal.add("button", [165,40,275,60], "stuff");cal.add("button", [165,40,275,60], "stuff");cal.add("button", [165,40,275,60], "stuff");

Check the docs. They have a decent section on automatic widget layout. I've never used it because the layout algorithm would change in unexpected ways as new versions of PS were released. With manual layout, I am able to precisely control the layout so I have UI code that works predictably as far back as CS and CS2. Things may have stabilized with the automatic layout over the past few revs and if you don't need to support older versions of PS you should definitely try it out.
