listbox focus

[K159]

main();
function main()
{
     var w = new Window ("dialog","test");
    var Columns = w.add("group"); Columns.spacing=0;
    var Header = {numberOfColumns: 1, showHeaders: true, columnWidths: [50]};
    Header.columnTitles = ["month"];
    var Col = Columns.add ("listbox", undefined, ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12"], Header);
  
    Col.preferredSize = [65,85];
    Col.selection = 8;
    Col.revealItem(8);

   
    w.show();
}

revealItem does not apply.

Where I went wrong?

Thanks for help.

MY first thought was that you try to reveal an item before the dialog is built.

But then I copied your code into the ESTK and it worked just fine.

Hi,

This is works in InDesign 5.5 version . but CC2014 not works.

It needed another source?

Instead of:

Col.revealItem(8);

try:

w.onShow = function(){Col.revealItem(8)}

The onShow event is activated when the window is shown, and only then do you try to select item 8, and then it works.

Why this should be the case with the new SciptUI engine is another question, but if this were the only problem with it...
