Change Dialog Box to Palette/Panel
Hi Everyone,
In Indesign SDK there is one project called BasicDialog.sdk. In this sdk i have tried to convert UI of basic dialog to palette/Panel, but after build and placing the file in InDesign2020>>Plugins>>SDK it shows dialogbox again....
The code used in BasicDialog project is
resource PluginVersion (kSDKDefPluginVersionResourceID)
