those should be the same...
So use:
var WindowName = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("InterfaceTest.xml", "WndTest");

Done...the code now is

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart)
{
    var Wnd = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("InterfaceTest.xml", "WndTest");
}


function OnEvent_Uninitialize(MessengerExit)
{
}

But still 1 can't c any windows when 1 enter msn...1 got plus version 4.20.0.672..maybe it's this the problem?

This could be for following reasons (some mentioned before).
1. The file is not UTF-16 (UNICODE).
2. The XML is not valid (something is wrong with it).
3. The XML-file is not InterfaceTest.xml.

Thanks much!Now it works
But now..how can 1 display a picture inside this window?

You create a folder in your script folder called "Images". Then you put something like this in your <elements>:

code:

---

        <Element xsi:type="ImageElement" Id="MyImage">
            <Position Top="1" Left="1"/>
            <Image><Name>Image Name here</Name></Image>
        </Element>

---

It's all in the scripting documentation.

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>
             
              <Element xsi:type="ImageElement" Id="MyImage">
              <Position Top="1" Left="1"/>
               <Image><Name>Dark.jpg</Name></Image>
                </Element>

                <Control xsi:type="ButtonControl" Id="BtnClose">
                    <Position Left="112" Top="25" Width="50"/>
                    <Caption>Close</Caption>
                </Control>
            </Controls>
        </Window>

    </Interfaces>

In the <elements> tag, not the controls tag.. The XML should be like this:

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/>

            <Elements>
                     <Element xsi:type="ImageElement" Id="MyImage">
                                <Position Top="1" Left="1"/>
                                <Image><Name>Dark.jpg</Name></Image>
                     </Element>
             </Elements>
            <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>

I suggest you to learn XML, it will help you a lot. If this still doesn't work, try converting Dark.jpg to Dark.png, and just enter:

code:

---

<Image><Name>Dark</Name></Image>

---

It worked u're great!
But really xml is so useful?
Anyway there's another prob(please have a little more patienceT_T):the image is too big for this window...is there a way to increase its size?
[Solved!Thx everyone for the help!!!1 hope to post a script of mine too in this forum  someday]

Yes, it is being used more and more often with application-internet interaction and often in layout design as it provides clear, understandable, and easily parsed data. Not to mention you need to know at least a bit to create a Plus script without being spoon fed everything.

You already specified the window's width and height so just change the values...

Also, I suggest you read all the help topics under 'XML Schemas Reference' > 'Interface Windows' in the script documentation at http://m00.cx/mpl/docs/index.html?page=ref-interface-schema.htm (or you can download it from the Scripts Database http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/13-Official-Scripting-Documentation/
The scripting documentation is there for a reason and it is extremely useful and helpful - all script developers have to refer to it to make Plus Scripts as it is the only documentation which exists for it. Also referring to other scripts which do something similar or have features you would like to incorporate would be useful.

'1' doesnt mean 'I' so stop using it, it's really getting on my nerves as it makes your more difficult to understand.
