I'm not sure if its something I'm doing wrong or what, but none of the controls on child windows are generating function calls on the debug window for YASS as I'm trying to create it.

Window declarations:

code:

---

    wnd = MsgPlus.CreateWnd('yass_gui_imgedit.xml', 'WndImageEdit', 1);
    wnd.Button_SetCheckState('RadGeneral', true);
    cwnd_General = MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd(wnd, 'yass_gui_imgedit.xml', 'WndimageEdit.General', 130, 60, true);
    cwnd_Background = MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd(wnd, 'yass_gui_imgedit.xml', 'WndimageEdit.Background', 130, 60, false);
    cwnd_DP = MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd(wnd, 'yass_gui_imgedit.xml', 'WndimageEdit.DP', 130, 60, false);
    cwnd_StatusImg = MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd(wnd, 'yass_gui_imgedit.xml', 'WndimageEdit.StatusImg', 130, 60, false);
    cwnd_StatusText = MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd(wnd, 'yass_gui_imgedit.xml', 'WndimageEdit.StatusText', 130, 60, false);
    cwnd_Nick = MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd(wnd, 'yass_gui_imgedit.xml', 'WndimageEdit.Nick', 130, 60, false);
    cwnd_PSM = MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd(wnd, 'yass_gui_imgedit.xml', 'WndimageEdit.PSM', 130, 60, false);
    cwnd_PSMMedia = MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd(wnd, 'yass_gui_imgedit.xml', 'WndimageEdit.PSMMedia', 130, 60, false);
    cwnd_Time = MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd(wnd, 'yass_gui_imgedit.xml', 'WndimageEdit.Time', 130, 60, false);

trying to call a function:

code:

---

function Oncwnd_BackgroundEvent_CtrlClicked(Wnd, ControlId){
    Debug.Trace('ctrl clicked: '+ControlId);
    if(ControlId == 'btnBgColour')
        LoadColourPicker(Wnd, ControlId)
}


function Oncwnd_BackgroundEvent_EditTextChanged(Wnd, ControlId){
    Debug.Trace(Wnd + ControlId);
}

---

when clicking a button or editing a textbox, no function call is listed in the debug window, nor is any trace text outputted. I'm thinking this must be something I'm doing, as I doubt something this major was left out out 4.50.

whats going on here?

You should use the window ID, not the variable name:

code:

---

function OnWndimageEdit.BackgroundEvent_CtrlClicked
function OnWndimageEdit.BackgroundEvent_EditTextChanged

---

However I doubt this will work, as JScript uses the dot for objects and properties (e.g. Debug.Trace). Therefore I highly recommend you to remove the dot in the name to assure the correct working of your script.

thanks, i just found out that for myself. I had to change the dots to underscores. it works fine now.

Someone might want to update the scripting docs and xsd to say dots can't be added to the name of a WindowId

No spaces allowed. For scripts windows, punctuation is replaced by underscores.

Well, it sounds very normal to me not to use dots. Anyway, the documentation says:

so maybe it'll work if you use an underscore only in your script and keep using the dot in your XML?

Ugh, beaten by a fat free chicken.
