could anyone explain to me how to use custom look in interface windows?

code:

---

<Control xsi:type="ButtonControl" Id="Btn">
<Position Top="5" Left="5" Width="50" Height="10"/>
<CustomLook>
<Normal>
<Element xsi:type="TextElement" Id="BtnNormText">
<Position Top="0" Left="0" Width="50" Height="10"/>
<Text>Norm</Text>
</Element>
</Normal>
<Hot>
<Element xsi:type="TextElement" Id="BtnHotText">
<Position Top="0" Left="0" Width="50" Height="10"/>
<Text>Hot</Text>
</Element>
</Hot>
<Pushed>
<Element xsi:type="TextElement" Id="BtnPushedText">
<Position Top="0" Left="0" Width="50" Height="10"/>
<Text>Pushed</Text>
</Element>
</Pushed>
</CustomLook>
</Control>

You could have a look at SS4 as it uses CustomLook on the side bar (which are all actually radio controls) or PSM+ which is the same code

thanks, but i wonder if there is a "<Disabled>" tag?

Invalid procedure seems to tell you that the method isn't valid for the given object, that is, Wnd is no correct Plus Window Object in the moment of execution.

code:

var Wnd = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("windows.xml","test");

Post the entire function where you are creating the window and trying to change the element.

then there is no XML Image Element using the ID "BtnImg1". Pay attention as XML is case-sensitive.

Syntax
ImageElmt_SetImageFile(
    [string] ElementId,
    [string] File
);

Parameters
ElementId
[string] Unique identifier of the element.
File
[string] Path to the image's file to use. It can be a PNG, a JPG, a GIF or a BMP file. The path is relative to the script's "Images" sub-directory by default, to override this behavior, prefix the path with "\". Example: "\C:\directory\picture.png".


IMHO, strings must always be noted within " "  or ' '. Or am I wrong?!

Shouldn't it be something like:

code:

---

Wnd.ImageElmt_SetImageFile("testImg","crazyman.png");

---

However I doubt this whole thing can work, since I don't know if you can set an ImageElement which is part of a CustomLook structure... :-\
