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?

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>

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?
