O.P. HELP - Child Windows!
Whenever I make a child window, like these:
js code:
MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd("WndBrowser", "Windows.xml", "WndSearch", "100", "100", true);
MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd("WndBrowser", "Windows.xml", "WndSearch", 100, 100, true);
MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd("WndBrowser", "Windows.xml", "WndSearch", "100", "100");
MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd("WndBrowser", "Windows.xml", "WndSearch", 100, 100);
I get an error in the Script Debugger, saying "type mismatch". How come? |

You are passing a string "WndBrowser" as first parameter, where the script documentation clearly says:
quote:
Parent: [object] Existing PlusWnd object previously created with CreateWnd.
So, a valid example would be:
js code:
//The parent window
var pBrowser = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Windows.xml", "WndBrowser");
//The child window
var pSearch = MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd(pBrowser, "Windows.xml", "WndSearch", 100, 100);
As you can see, we're passing pBrowser (the created PlusWnd object) as first parameter. The reason why Plus! works this way is since you could make multiple instances of the same interface XML definition. |

So I have to store the parent window into a variable?

O.P. RE: HELP - Child Windows!
Well, it still doesn't appear to be working. Am I still missing something?
js code:
// if a menu item is clicked
function OnEvent_MenuClicked(sMenuId, nLocation, iOriginWnd)
{
if(sMenuId == "start")
{
if (OpenWnd) // checks for another instance of the browser
{
Debug.Trace("> Detected OpenWnd: " + OpenWnd)
Debug.Trace("> No more windows allowed!")
MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Windows.xml", "WndMaximum", 0)
// creates a warning alert window
}
else
{
Debug.Trace("> Detected OpenWnd: " + OpenWnd);
Debug.Trace("> Window allowed!");
Wnd = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Windows.xml", "WndBrowser", 0);
// creates a browser window (variable 'Wnd')
OpenWnd = true;
Browser = Wnd.Browser_GetInterface("Browser");
Browser.GoHome();
}
}
js code:
// if a browser button is clicked
function OnWndBrowserEvent_CtrlClicked(objWnd, strControlId)
{
switch(strControlId)
{
case "BtnSearch": // if the search button is clicked
SearchWnd = MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd(Wnd, "Windows.xml", "WndSearch", 100, 100);
// creates a child window (parent = 'Wnd')
break;
}
}
I have also tried putting your code in, exactly how it was, but only the main window appeared - the child window just didn't appear...

RE: HELP - Child Windows!
Is your variable Wnd globally defined?
And why not do this...
js code:
// if a browser button is clicked
function OnWndBrowserEvent_CtrlClicked(objWnd, strControlId)
{
switch(strControlId)
{
case "BtnSearch": // if the search button is clicked
>>> SearchWnd = MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd(objWnd, "Windows.xml", "WndSearch", 100, 100);<<<
// creates a child window (parent = 'Wnd')
break;
}
}

It is, but I have tried it without, and it still won't do anything.

}
Doesn't make any difference...  |

Post the XML of your window.
matty's reply to Cannot CreateChildWnd
xml code:
<!-- The child window -->
<Window Id="WndChildExample" Version="1">
<ChildTmpl/>
<Position Width="243" Height="193"/>
<Controls>
<Control xsi:type="StaticControl" Id="lblTitle">
<Position Top="25" Width="100" Left="15" Height="15" />
<Caption>hi I am a child window :)</Caption>
</Control>

RE: HELP - Child Windows!
Your XML is invalid for your child window. You cannot have a <ChildTmpl /> and a <DialogTmpl /> at the same time as they signify different appearences for the windows.
