Hello,
I'm having troubles with a script (actually I'm running it in Photoshop, but I'm posting here because this place is densely packaged of ScriptUI experts 
).
// Test script
var winRes = "dialog { \ title: 'Styling test', \ orientation: 'row', \ alignChildren: ['fill', 'top'], \ firstPanel: Panel {text: 'First', \ alignChildren: ['center', 'center'] \ size: [250, 200] \ openButton: IconButton { title: 'Open new panel', size: [150, 30], properties: {toggle: true}}, \ cancelButton: Button { text: 'Cancel', properties:{ name:'cancel'}}, \ okButton: Button { text: 'OK', properties:{name:'ok'}}, \ } \}"
var win = new Window(winRes)
win.firstPanel.openButton.onClick = function() { if (this.value) { var secondPanel = win.add('panel', undefined, 'Second'); secondPanel.size = [150, 200]; secondPanel.margins = 15; var stTitle = secondPanel.add('statictext', undefined, 'Title'); var stText = secondPanel.add('statictext', undefined, undefined, {multiline: true, scrolling: true}); var message = "list of things;\nlist of things;\nlist of things;\nlist of things"; stText.size = [100,100]; stText.text = message; // How to style the statictext? // given that: // alert(win.secondPanel.stText.text) // undefined // alert(win.children[1].children[1].text) // "list of things..." //win.children[1].children[1].graphics.backgroundColor = win.children[1].children[1].graphics.newBrush(win.children[1].children[1].graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.5, 0.0, 0.0]); win.layout.layout(true) }else{ win.remove(1) win.layout.layout(true) }}
win.show();
Basically, it opens a Dialog with a panel and some placeholder buttons.
When you click on one of them, a second panel should be created on the right of the first one and the Dialog resized accordingly.
I've two problems:
1. The first panel gets resized, and it shouldn't.
2. I'd like to style the second panel statictext background, but apparently I can't (as you see in the code's comments, I've to reference it as win.children[1].children[1])
For the first problem, I'm out of answers; for the second one, I thought it could be because I can't style a text that is not yet rendered, but any code that I put after the win.layout.layout(true) is never reached.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!
TIA
