Script to open a panel Error Message

[Naher94]

so i have this code that opens a panel with a script which i have given a hotkey. As i would like a hotkey for my panel, but the problem i am having is that it does not work with my panel only with others, I build the panel with configuration and need some help debugging.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////This is the Script for the code

#target photoshop

openPanel('CommandBar');

function openPanel(Name)

{

    var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();

    var ref1 = new ActionReference();

    ref1.putName( charIDToTypeID('Mn  '), Name);

    desc1.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref1 );

    try

  {

    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('slct'), desc1, DialogModes.NO );

    }

  catch(e)

  {

  alert(e.message);

  }

};

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

error dialog when running with my panel: "- The object “menu item “CommandBar”” is not currently available."

What kind of a Panel is "CommandBar" supposed to be?

I build the panel with configuration

Did you mean you built it with Configurator?

Which Photoshop version do you use?

Maybe 'ComandBar' is not the name of your panel, you can use this script to get the list of name to all the panels from Photoshop:

function getPanelsList(){

  var ref = new ActionReference();

  ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("capp"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );

  var applicationDesc = executeActionGet(ref);

  var panelList = applicationDesc.getList(stringIDToTypeID('panelList'));

    var pL = "PanelList:\n"

  for (var m = 0; m < panelList.count; m++) {

    var thisPanelDesc = panelList.getObjectValue(m);

       pL += (thisPanelDesc.getString(stringIDToTypeID("name")) + "\n");

    }

       alert(pL);

}

getPanelsList();

and than you will see if your panel can be accessed by script or not, and with what name.
