After trying to build a UI dialog and having it not show,I copied this script exactly from the CS3 Scripting Guide PDF, taking care to fix any broken lines. The only modification is the "activate" line and the removal of commented lines.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
activate
set myDialog to make dialog with properties {name:"Simple Dialog"}
tell myDialog
tell (make dialog column)
make static text with properties {static label:"This is a very simple dialog box."}
end tell
end tell
set myResult to show myDialog
if myResult is true then
display dialog ("You clicked the OK button")
else
display dialog ("You clicked the Cancel button")
end if
destroy myDialog
end tell
Regardless of whether I run the script from Script Editor or the Script Panel, and even with the Plug-In Manager set to load only Adobe plug-ins, No dialog appears, and myResult registers as false, generating the standard dialog "You clicked the Cancel button." Is something broken?
The event log follows:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
activate
current application
activate
make with properties {name:"Simple Dialog"} new dialog
dialog id 11664
make new dialog column
dialog column id 97832 of dialog id 11664
make with properties {static label:"This is a very simple dialog box."} new static text
static text id 97833 of dialog column id 97832 of dialog id 11664
show dialog id 11664
false
display dialog "You clicked the Cancel button"
{button returned:"OK"}
destroy dialog id 11664
end tell
