• Use a system dialog for opening and saving files. This allows easy selection of files without having to know their names.  You can find more information about Common Dialogs at MSDN.
  

  JScript code:

  ---

  cd = new ActiveXObject("MSComDlg.CommonDialog"); // create the object
  cd.Filter = "All Files(*.*)|*.*|JScript Files(*.js)|*.js"; // set file filter
  cd.FilterIndex = 2;
  cd.MaxFileSize = 128; // must set MaxFileSize. otherwise you will get an error
  cd.ShowOpen(); // show it to user
  file = cd.FileName; // retrieve file + path
  if (!file) { // If the user does enter file exit
      MsgPlus.DisplayToast("", "You must enter a file name");
  }
  else {
      MsgPlus.DisplayToast("", "The user selected:\n" + file );
  }

I've just tested that, but it doesn't seem to work on initialization:

code:

---

From the Script Debugger
Script is starting
Error: unknown (code: -2147221230)
       File: FnInitialization.js. Line: 1.
Script has failed to start

---

Something wrong with the ActiveX object?

Removed.  But what do you mean by "ellipsed items"?  Do you mean a tooltip for each window/control/element with extra details?

• Add support for Interface Tester to see the changes without having to create a test script.

---

Had just been thinking about that, but at the moment, I've done it so that the interface is saved as a temporary file, and then opened using MsgPlus::CreateWnd.

• Add support for custom attributes.

I'll work on this, but it would take a while to specify what attributes go with what in a list, so I'll probably let the user pick what attributes they want to use with a text area or something.

• Add options dialog for various options, like "auto-save when I change a field" or "auto-create backup on opening a file" or "change indention style on generated XMLs".
  
• Add a list of recently used files.

---

They'll both need the registry functions, but I'll add them.  Eventually.

Fair enough.    Will do.
