Script errors (CC 2018)

Hi,

I wrote some years ago a javascript, which worked fine up to PS CC 2014. Recently I tried to run it in PS CC 2018 and it failed. The script creates a  window with various panels containing various buttons and checkboxes. In CC 2018 only the main window and the panels show up, but not the elements within the panels. Code like

win.pnl01.selFolderButton = win.add("button",[320, 140, 420, 160] , "SELECT");

is obviously ignored.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

You're adding the buttons to the main win. You need to specify that you're adding them to the panel in the add comment

win.pnl01.selFolderButton = win.pnl01.add("button", [320, 140, 420, 160] , "Select");

This works in CS6 but not in CC2018

var win = new Window("dialog", "GUINEA PIG", [150, 150, 600, 900]);
win.add("panel", [10,10,440,180], 'Select a folder');
win.add("button", [320, 140, 420, 160] , "Select");
win.add("statictext",[30,50,430,90], "None yet selected");
win.show ();

var win = new Window("dialog", "GUINEA PIG", [150, 150, 600, 900]);
win.add("button", [320, 140, 420, 160] , "Select");
win.add("statictext",[30,50,430,90], "None yet selected");
win.add("panel", [10,10,440,180], 'Select a folder');
win.show ();

Changed the order of drawing. Therefore, the panel overlaps the rest of the elements.

I don't think it changed. AFAIK, you always had to state the exact panel or group in which a control is to be placed.

That line looks fine, so it's hard to tell without seeing more of the code.

app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.CM;

var win = new Window("dialog", "GUINEA PIG", [150, 150, 600, 900]);

win.pnl01 = win.add("panel", [10,10,440,180], 'Select a folder');

win.pnl01.selFolderButton = win.add("button", [320, 140, 420, 160] , "Select");

win.pnl01.selFolderToCheckTxt = win.add("statictext",[30,50,430,90], "None yet selected");

win.show ();

I broke the code up and wrote this basic script, saved and ran it. This is the result:
