}

that's some code I've got to make a menu (for a script that I'm probably going to need more help on once I get my head around exactly what i'm doing!)

However I can't now get the windows to show.

The menus are created properly, there's no errors in the debug window, the xml files load successfully in the tester (and I've tried substituting one for a menu window from another script which works)

I'm at a complete loss

jscript code:

---

function OnEvent_MenuClicked(MenuItemId, Location, OriginWind)
{
    if (MenuItemId == "mnuNew") {
        WndNew = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("New.xml", "mnuNew");           
    } else if (MenuItemId == "mnuAbout") {
        WndAbout = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("About.xml", "mnuAbout");
}

The "else if" block has no closing curled bracket.

Did you save the New.xml in Unicode?

EDIT: And what mynetx said, although you didn't mention a syntax error so I wasn't looking that deep into it

There's no syntax error, I just didn't copy it properly into here, lol

and yeah, New.xml is saved as Unicode, and as I said I tried another xml file in its place from a script who's menus do load...and still nothing

it's really bizarre

Just try:

code:

---

function OnEvent_MenuClicked(MenuItemId, Location, OriginWind)
{
        WndNew = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("New.xml", "mnuNew");           
}

Maybe you should pack us a copy of the script and attach it to let us debug it.

Here it is

The script itself probably doesn't work yet (infact it almost certainly doesn't work)

But it's not much use if I can't load the menus, lol

It's really bizarre.....i tried using Spunky's suggested code with literally nothing else in the code (except obviously the code to construct the menu)

the OnEvent_MenuClicked does get called properly (as shown in the debut window)....but just nothing shows

Edit: Attachment removed

The problem lies in the fact that you're trying to use some kind of menu identifier as window identifier.

In your JScript:

js code:

---

WndNew = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("New.xml", "mnuNew");

---

In your interfaces XML:

xml code:

---

<Window Id="options" Version="1">

---

The "mnuNew" should be replaced by "options" so that Plus! can find the right window to load. Same goes for the about window: you defined it as "About" in your interfaces but you try to open "mnuAbout".

Woo, that got it sorted.....can't believe it was something so stupid!
