Help Making Floater

[Guest]

This is where I am..

I made a menu item under windows to open my floater. I made the floater.htm file so when I click the menu option the floater appears.

But, my text always is like, dotted out! It doesnt look like the normal windows.

Anyone know of any example codes for making windows and such? Like expandable lists like the file viewer too. I guess the tabs as well, things like that. Sort of like a little tutorial or quick walk through I can look at. Or even an example I can just look at, I can probably catch on.

I can't find the source code for the built in menus, and I read its programmatically in the software so you can edit them so..

Anyone know of some good example for me to look at?

The DW help documentation shows a complete floater example, but if you want
to see a working floater, I have a free one called Translated Source Viewer
at http://www.tom-muck.com/extensions/

If you are interested in building extensions you might want to pick up a
copy of Building Dreamweaver and UltraDev Extensions. It's an old book, but
most things still apply to DW 8, including the chapter on building a
floating panel. Amazon has copies for less than $1:
