Hi
Im trying my script to create a window with different labels, but the number of labels differs each time the window is opened. Is there any function or other option to solve this?

The only current solution for this is to write the window xml just before the window is created, store the xml in a temporary file, create the window from the temporary file, then delete the file right after the window is created.

I wondered about doing it like that but i thought there must be a better solution... Bu if there is no other way...
thx for reply

Probably I will add in a suggestion to add a scripting feature to add Plus window components on runtime, for a new Plus version.

You could always just create a number of invisible labels in your xml file then set them to visible via your script as needed.

I need to change the content of the labels so ive to create the window in the script. I've written the script now and the file is created, but the window is not... I think the problem is, that its not written in unicode is it possible to write a file in unicode with opentextfile()??

Changing the text on a label is easy from runtime: just use Wnd.SetControlText("labelId", "Text");...?

And additionally:

• OpenTextFile Method
  object.OpenTextFile(filename[, iomode[, create[, format]]])
  Arguments
  
  (...)
  
  format
  
      Optional. One of three Tristate values used to indicate the format of the opened file. If omitted, the file is opened as ASCII.
  
  The format argument can have any of the following settings:
  
  
  
  
• CreateTextFile Method

ah ok thx!
