Windowlists

[drahkar]

Ok. I know I must be missing something. What is wrong with this windowlist/windowclass set that would prevent it from displaying?




<windowclass name="charsheet_skills">

The <windowlist> and <genericcontrol> elements should be inside the <sheetdata> element of the window class - otherwise they are floating outside with no defined parent class to appear in.

[drahkar]

This is a snippet that is inside a windowclass. I just cut the part out that relates to the windowlist.

[phantomwhale]

Ah - makes sense. Presume that the three snippets all sit separately then, with only the last one inside a sheetdata element ?

Hmmm... it all looks good on paper. Is datasource of "." OK ? Usually seen it as ".mentalskills" as "." would be the parent window node itself. Otherwise I'm not seeing anything straight away...

[drahkar]

I updated the code snippet to include the entire window class that the windowlist is contained within to clear up any confusion. What you see now is the entirety of the subwindow.

You shouldn't defeine the windowclass 'mentalskills' *within* the windowclass 'charsheet_skills', it needs to be declared at the top level.

Wow. That works a whole lot better. Silly me.

Thanks!
