ScriptUI for dummies

[Peter Kahrel]

I've been putting together a text on ScriptUI, to a large extent to clear up things for myself (hence the title!). It's an introduction to ScriptUI, much of it very basic, here and there going into some detail. It's not a finished product, and comments, suggestions, and corrections are welcome. If you're interested, you can find the PDF file here: http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/scriptui.html

Hey!

You forgot to add 'text' property to myMessage

myMessage.text = "Hello World";

Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for that wonderful guide. Adobe should be inspired for their own scriptUI documentation.

Ok I am a little bit enthusiastic but I really enjoy your book !

PS: And thanks a lot for the reference to my websites

Hi Peter -

This is a VERY valuable resource for folks, thanks for taking it on!

One very minor correction on the site, ScriptUI was first shipped in CS2.

In Photoshop it was CS2. InDesign was CS3. What was it in Illustrator?

Thanks for the tips on the versions. The guide is still pretty InDesign-centric, I need to do something about that.

[Jongware]

No, you didn't.

[Larry G. Schneider]

Your right, Jong. It's listed as the 1.4 update but downloads as the 1.3. My bad.

[Peter Kahrel]

Grrr. Now I have.

Peter, there is still something wrong with link.

I get 404 error when trying to download PDF.

Sorry about the mess.

Downloaded the latest version 1.4 and at least for me it does not seem to have the very convenient pre-defined bookmarks and hyperlinks which the previous version 1.3 did...?

[Peter Kahrel]

Not sure what happened there, but it's fixed now.

Hi Peter,

Thank you so much for the updated version of ScriptUI. This book is much helpful for all indesign scripters.

I need one clarification regarding your book of

Thanks again for your excellent work.
