Hello everybody!

There is something weird when i attempt to use an interface window xml file that i've created by myself...

When this one is encoded in ANSI, or any characters set else thant "USC-2 little endian", the window in my script isn't launched...

I mean, i've compared 2 files, they are EXACTLY the same... the only thing that is different is the encoding! The content of this file can be very simple (like the example shown in the scripting documentation) or a bit more complex (like a messenger plus live! interface).

Should we always use "USC-2 little endian" as default encoding? Or is there something i've missed in the help file? ^^

Save the script in Unicode.

All the XML files, not only those of script, but also those of the interface skins, etc, must be in either "unicode little endian" or "unicode big endian"

(though choose "unicode (little endian)" though, that's the default used on Intel/Windows platforms..

"UTF-8" is also not supported, btw...

The script files themself (the JS files) can be in ANSI...

So:

wtf? he wasnt on about scripts, he was on about xml files.

and no it shouldnt be saved in UCS-2 but UTF-16 (according to the documentation).

ignore that, thats for other languages.

Thanks for these answers!

I think this deserve to be added to the scripting documentation... it's a bit frustrating to seek for this error for..... errr... what? Half an hour?

Btw, thanks again!

It is in the documentation actually...

I agree that it wasn't very clear about the encoding. I also resorted to the forums to find out how to make working windows!

I haven't see it... i'll check it  later ^^, and... about the Image Element?

I success to get it work using tags of interfaces XML files of Messenger Plus (like those in the configuration...) no documentation about it too?

code:

---

            <Element xsi:type="ImageElement" Id="ImgTitle">
                <Position Top="4" Left="8"/>
                <Image><Name>title-contactlistcleanup</Name></Image>
            </Element>

---

Is title-contactlistcleanup the jpg image we can find in MsgPlusLiveRes.dll?
How can we insert the path for our images to get the XML file find it out?

(Have to make a new thread for it?)

Thanks

It is in the documentation, search for "ImageElement"

and the topic "PlusWnd::ImageElmt_SetImageFile" explains what the path is and how it is handled (topic will also be listed when you search for "ImageElement")
