I'm trying to make a GUI but I can't get MsgPlus.CreateWnd to work. I copied the example and instructions in the help file exactly but still no go . Anyone have a reason why the window might not be appearing?

Thanks.

Try something like

code:

---

Wnd = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("FileName", "Window Name")

---

and make sure that the window is perfect and there is nothing wrong in it, if something goes wrong in the xml you surely wont see the window .

I'm using...

code:

---

Wnd = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("InterfaceTest.xml", "WndTest")

---

with...

code:

---

<Interfaces xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">    <Window Id="WndTest" Version="1">        <Attributes>            <Caption>Test Window</Caption>
        </Attributes>
        <TitleBar>
            <Title><Text>Hello!</Text></Title>
        </TitleBar>
        <Position Width="180" Height="75"/>
        <DialogTmpl/>
        <Controls>
            <Control xsi:type="StaticControl" Id="LblTop">
                <Position Left="10" Top="10" Width="150"/>
                <Caption>Hello world!</Caption>
            </Control>
            <Control xsi:type="ButtonControl" Id="BtnClose">
                <Position Left="112" Top="25" Width="50"/>                <Caption>Close</Caption>
            </Control>
        </Controls>
    </Window>
</Interfaces>

Nothing still @@.

Also make sure the xml file is saved in Unicode(16).

Thanks Silentdragon! That did the trick. I was creating a text file, editting it, then changing the filename/extension .
