Interface.findWindow() not finding window problems

[gnujak]

Good evening everyone, what I am trying to do is get a window reference to create a control on the character sheet. I have figured out how to make the control work in the script portion of the onInit() of the window class but I want to take it out and put it into it's own script file. I try and pass the windowclass name and database node to a function in my script file but it can't find a window with that name I guess. I tried with the name of the windowclass I am making the control in and also the name of the main class of the character sheet. I have used bot the database node name and no database node but I can't find the window I want to make the control in. Any sugesstions?

Interface.findWindow can only find it if it's already created. This means that the charsheet should have been opened. You should try using Interface.openWindow instead.

Thank you for that suggestion. I have figured out that the window hadn't been created yet because I was calling the find window in the onInit() which means the window wasn't created yet so no handle to it right? Where should I be putting the code? onInit() will draw them when the character sheet is first opened but that is all. Is there some other function I should use to check when the character sheet is shown? I tried onUpdate(). So what it is I'm doing is when the inventory is changed for what is equipped the controls on the main character sheet("tab") should be changed/updated.

Have a look at the CoreRPG onCarriedChanged function in campaign\scripts\char_invlist.lua
