Question

Problems with window_create on XUI doc

For some reason, when I open an XUI XML window, it doesn't always work. I have code that does the following:


Create XML file


local xuidoc = doc_open(xmlfile)


xuiwin = window_create('xui', 0x10, xuidoc)


The window_create will sometimes return -1 and not create the window. Do I need to set focus or something. Not sure what I am doing wrong. The XML file is one I create on the fly and save before I try and open it. It is a docked XML dialog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


BTW this is version 5.3 I am using.


Thanks.


John

    Test xuidoc < 0 before window_create(). Possibly it's the doc_open()
    failing, not the window_create.

    I tried that. The doc_open was ok. It was returning 41 in both cases when it would open normally or when it would fail and window_create would return -1.

    The problem seems to be with dockable dialogs. If I open up more than one dockable dialog in a row, it seems to have issues. Anyone else experience problems opening up multiple dockable dialogs. It seems to be kind of flakey. Thx in advance for comments.
