I am making a script to speed up proofing. I have a large portion of the work done but I've gotten a request to add an option to have more than one product per proof. I figure adding options for 2, 3, or 4 products per proof should cover most instances. The issue I'm having is with the UI. I have already been to ScriptUI for dummies | Peter Kahrel and it has been incredibly helpful. That is where I got the info for embedding the images. I don't know if what I want to do is possible. I would like my dialog to look like this:
Which I slapped together in photoshop. The closest I've gotten is this:
And it's not just that it's ugly, I can deal with ugly if it's functional, but as you can see you can select more than one radio button at the same time. I tried to play with replacing the "undefined" with [left, top, width, height] on each of my objects but then my dialog was entirely blank. Here is the code that makes the current UI:
#target Illustrator
if ( app.documents.length != 0 ){
myDlg = new Window('dialog', 'Proof Multi Up');
myDlg.orientation = 'column';
myDlg.alignment = 'left';
