Scripting Interface Elements like a button?

[evan.sante]

This is my first attempt to script something in Photoshop…  I was hoping that someone might be able to point me to basic information on scripting interface elements like buttons.

’Im trying to do what should be the simplest of things draw a button that takes up 100% of the width of its container? And then enable disable the button.

I've tried:

var btnOne = interfaceGroup.add("button", undefined, "Some Text");
btnOne.disabled = true;

btnOne.size and btnOne.preferredSize don’t except percentages.

Any link to  scripting interface elements w/ JavaScript would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - CES

Wanting to do something with a UI in scripting is much harder than without a UI, so for your first script you have complicated things for yourself.

Once you have the UI working, you still need to link up the actual code to "do something" to the button.

Anyway, the following should get you started:

Good luck!
