[need help] How do i make a splash with XML engine? by Cradenburg on 10-23-2006 at 05:30 PM

Well... I'm trying to make a splash, but with the current xml code, it dosent seem to work :(...

code:
<Interfaces xmlns="urn:msgplus:interface" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:msgplus:interface PlusInterface.xsd">
    <Window Id="abt" Version="1">

    <Position Width="419" Height="284"/>   

    <Elements>
    <Element xsi:type="Image" Id="Background">
        <Position Top="0" Left="0" Width="419" Height="284"/>
        <Name>splash</Name>
        <Format>PNG</Format>
    </Element>
    </Elements>

    </window>
</Interfaces>

And I call it like this:     
code:
var WndAbt = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("splash.xml", "Abt");

Please advice me as to what I should do to rectify this, I tried searching for splash but nothing came out. Is it possible to make windowless images in Messenger Plus?

I'm not sure if the xml code is correct, but make sure you save it as UTF-16 Long Endian

EDIT: Notepad++ calls the correct format UCS-2 Little Endian, windows Notepad just calls it Unicode.

I thought XML files for Plus! Live should always be saved as Unicode, no?

Yes! :)
code:
    <Window Id="abt" Version="1">
    <WindowTmpl>
        <Corners Shape="Rectangular"/>
        <Borders Type="None"/>
    </WindowTmpl>
    <Position Width="419" Height="284"/>
That will set the window to have rectangular corners (if you want to keep round corners, just remove that line) and to have no borders. ;)

UTF-16 Long Endian is Unicode
UTF-16/UCS-2

Perhaps check:

code:
<Window Id="abt" Version="1">
and
code:
var WndAbt = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("splash.xml", "Abt");
Not sure if case-sensitivity matters, but I would assume so.
