OnShow and where to use it ?

[maximoz]

Hi All experienced modders,

I did a search and saw that using the experience xml file is a good way to use onshow to display custom window.

What i am not sure is where exactly in the experience xml file do i insert this onshow? Is it any object?

Thanks!

On the root node of the window is where you want to put it.

<Page Name="Experience" OnShow="show_window custom.mywindow">
...
</Page>

Thanks Landiin.

Another question: does the command needs to be entered twice ? That is:
<Page Name="Experience" OnShow="show_window custom.mywindow show_window custom.mywindow">

Also if i want to show my inventory when i login, is the command "show_window MainHUD.Inventory" ?

I read somewhere it used to be so.

No you only need to enter the command once if you do it the way I showed. If you used show_window=custom.mywindow you would have to enter it twice, so don't use the = :P

What dragowulf said for the inventory window.

Thanks to the both of you!

Will give it a try once the server is up

Hmm is there somewhere i can find info on when to use MainHUD.mywindow vs Parent.MainHUD.mywindow vs Parent.Parent vs mywindow.mywindow, etc ?
