I've got it to work


EDIT: SB, I'll look at your skin now

i have a working about window in the sense that it can be viewed by interface tester but no way to let anyone actually access it as yet, hence the reason for this thread.

duck how did you get the window to display?

geez!!!
everyone can except me!!
my window is almost done, the code is alright...but it doesn't open!!!
only with the tester...

thats the same problem im getting i can view it in the tester but cannot make a functional button to give people acess to it.

EDIT:

duck just sent me the solution, the About Box is bound by the same limitations as the options panel so the only way it will work outside of the tester is by setting it to a childtmpl instead of a dialogtmpl then it will work.

Stuart, could you please post what exactly has to be done in order to create an about window? Only if you have time or wanting to.

WORKED!!!!!!
HALLELUIAH!!!

there was a mispelling error at the skin info...instead of AboutWnd it was AboutWdn...also...the about window HAS TO BE A CHILD TEMPLATE OR IT WON'T WORK, in another words, it has to begin with:

code:

---

<Window Id="AboutWnd" Version="1">
<Position Width="370" Height="300"></Position>
<ChildTmpl/>
<Elements>

....

</Elements>
<Controls>

...
</Controls>
</Window>

Ok. I found myself. It was some mistake I made

yeah...we've got to be careful...imagine...
this looooong thread just because of a mispelling!!!

I checked it and I think you can have only one about window. Anyone else willing to check it in order to be sure? Should we ask Patchou?

i would ask pathou to be sure, i will happily make a tut on about boxes, ill write it tomorrow and post it to forum.
