I took a look at Notepad++ and it's cool. But as for Adobe Dreamweaver $400 is a bit out of my price range to just do some EQ2 interface pieces. But as long as Rothgar is in the mood to make changes to UIBuilder I thought I might as well put in my suggestion.

Has anyone else noticed that in latest version of UIBuilder the visible option is a bit inconsistent. What I mean is that every now and again the visible button doesn't work, it's grayed out. And UIBuilder is adding "visible=false" to some lines.

I haven't tried to document the specific instances yet cause I wanted to check if it was just me.

It sounds like maybe you don't have the item selected when hitting the visible button. Sometimes what happens is that the item is selected in the UI and you get its properties in the property list. Then the item gets deselected in the UI, but its properties are still displayed in the list. When this happens, changes made to properties dont affect the obect.

I know, this is an old thread, but I wanted to ask if there are still some string manipulation functions in the work or not.

I love dragowulf spell timer window, but as it does not seem, that the UI will actually read the UTF8 files as UTF8 I would like to modify the window, I need to fine a workaround. (The HTML code corrupts the UI so I can't even load it.)

My idea was to check for the beginning and the ending of the name so that I can use these two checks for a name with German special characters in the middle. It would also help with spell chains, as you would not need to include the spell number in the name.

Or is support for LUA still in the works, as that should support this and many more options.

p.s. German special characters nor supported by the UI:
ä - ä
Ä - Ä
ö - ö
Ö - Ö
ü - ü
Ü - Ü
ß - ß

HTML entities have no relevance in XML. Also UTF8 does load and string comparisons are the only operation which works with non-ASCII characters. See e.g. the ProfitUI subclass detector for an example.

Hmmm ....

I tried "Böswillige Hetzrede VI" and "Buße VII" and both are not working. :confused:

Assuming you saved as valid UTF-8 then it might be drago's code (which I have not checked). You cannot perform any other operation with non-ASCII except for a comparison, this includes that you cannot copy the non-ASCII to another element for the comparison. The only way it works is how it's done in ProfitUI, i.e. the non-ASCII written in the XML on the line which does the comparison.

Well the settings include is a text, so could that be the problem?

Hmmm I 1st tried it with ConText, which normally writes valid UTF-8 files and also acknowledged the file as UTF-8. But after your posts I also tried Notepad++ and it seemed to work then. So in some way ConText did not use proper UTF-8.

So it's my fault. Thanks for your help never the less. :-/
