Trying to make a new reference window

[RTFallen]

I have the window layout done, but the lua to get it to work is kicking me in the rear.

I'm trying to get the test links to load up into the right referencetext frame. I was trying to work something out with the library linking, but not having any luck.

The zip file has the extension and the test module. Things maybe a little messed up. Just stepping away for the night after trying some things.

Any help would be appreciated.

Clicks not Registering

A couple things were happening to prevent the clicks from registering on the left side:
* The "over" anchor position lays out the control based on the current window size, which when initially defined is only 20.
* The string was then placed over the top, and capturing the clicks but doing nothing with them.

Here's what I've done so far:
* Moved "base" control to be defined after "name" control (which expands the window size to accommodate the placement).
* Set "name" control to "disabled" so it does not capture any user input.

Right Column

The right column is using a subwindow control, which does not support the setDatabaseNode function. Only windowlist controls do. As soon as I fixed the click on the left, I encountered the script error for this.

Check out the "reference_manual" windowclass in the 4E ruleset located in the ref/ref_manual.xml file. I think this does either exactly what you want, or very close.

From what i can see of the "reference_manual" windowclass it is exactly what I'm looking to add into 3.5E/PFRPG ruleset. I am however still having issues getting the links to work, and it's probably an error in my xml. Is there a module that I can get that has this windowclass in use?

Errors popping up in the console:

Ruleset Error: windowcontrol: Database type mismatch for control (listlink) in windowclass (referencemanualarticle)
Ruleset Error: windowcontrol: Database type mismatch for control (listlink) in windowclass (referencemanualarticle)
Script Error: [string "referencemanualarticle:name"]:1: attempt to index field 'listlink' (a nil value)

My xml:


<testData>
<chapter>
<testChapter>
<name type="string">Text Chapter</name>
<section>
<testSection>
<name type="string">Test Section</name>
<article>
<testArticle1>
<listlink>
<class>referencetextwide</class>
<recordname>reference.testData</recordname>
</listlink>
<name type="string">Test Article 1</name>
</testArticle1>
<testArticle2>
<listlink>
<class>referencetextwide</class>
<recordname>reference.testData2</recordname>
</listlink>
<name type="string">Test Article 2</name>
</testArticle2>
</article>
</testSection>
</section>
</testChapter>
</chapter>
</testData>

Figured out my mistake. Forgot to add type="windowreference" to the listlink.

Thanks again for pointing me to that windowclass JPG.
