Hi,

I can't get ANY Plus! window to show an image background.
Can anybody tell me what I've done wrong (this time)?

The .JS code:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message) {
    if(Message == "/OpenWnd") {
        var Wnd = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Windows.xml", "WndAbt");
    }
}

---

code:

---

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<Interfaces xmlns="urn:msgplus:interface" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsichemaLocation="urn:msgplus:interface PlusInterface.xsd">
    <Window Id="WndAbt" Version="1">
    <Attributes>
        <Caption>TestWindow</Caption>
    </Attributes>
   
        <TitleBar>
            <AllowMinimize>false</AllowMinimize>
            <Title>
                <Text>TestWindow</Text>
            </Title>
        </TitleBar>
        <Position Width="860" Height="600"/>
        <DialogTmpl/>
    </Window>
    <Elements>
        <Element xsi:type="ImageElement" Id="ImgBackgrnd">
            <Position Top="100" Left="100"/>
            <Image>
                <Name>C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\New Message Alert\IMG\Backgrnd</Name>
                <Format>PNG</Format>
            </Image>
        </Element>
    </Elements>
</Interfaces>

You cannot specify the image like that.

You have 2 options

Option 1:
Put the image in an Images directory and just put the filename between <name></name>

Option 2:
Set the image by using code that way you can specify the full path.

        Wnd.ImageElmt_SetImageFile('ImgBackgrnd', '\\'+Messenger.ScriptFilesPath+'\\Images\\Background.png'); //i am assuming it is a png file.
    }
}

THANKS!!!!!

Although it's recommended that you just place your images in the "Images" folder, so you don't even need to call ImageElmt_SetImageFile. It would be a pain in the @$$ if you have to call that function for every image in your window, and even then, you wouldn't be able to use images in buttons, combo-box controls,...

Well, it's working now, so I don't care about images in buttons.. I can also use text, like "close" or "sluiten" (Dutch for "close")..

EDIT:: I've got 3 days of "vakantie"

EDIT2:: Can I also use this as a remote command? Like:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Message) {
    if(Message == "!OpenWnd") {
        var Wnd = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Windows.xml", "WndAbt");
    }
}
