so i went and copied my hscroll thumb stuff over my vscroll thumb stuff as the hscroll thumb stuff seems to be working and changed a couple of values (the image referenced, nothing in a dim) and its still broken.

looks something along the lines of

any idea why that works for my horisontal bar and not my vertical?

thanks again in advance.

[CrazyEddie]

Hi,

I think that due to the error involving ImageDim which you've not used in these bits, there might be mal-formed XML somewhere. From a first look, these parts seem ok.

Can you post all the ImageDim lines you do have?

CE.

[ara]

All of them or all the possibly related ones?

from all vscroll

anything wrong with those?

going a little bit further through everything i found that i spelt dimension with a capital in one instance... but it didnt seem to die on it. ill re run it and if you want all of them ill take the file home and grep it.

Edit:
yup. just changed those caps to lower case and it still breaks. im going off the online docs so i am assuming that they are supposed to be lower case.

[CrazyEddie]

Those look ok.

I'm going to write something can can do external validation, it will not be the tool I spoke of previously, but something more lightweight. This way you (and others) will be able to validate the XML and be told where the issues or potential issues are. It's almost impossible for me to be able to say where an issue might be without the whole file (and I want to avoid everyone sending me their looknfeel files and saying "here, fix this!").

Which OS are you using?

CE.

[ara]

grep -C 5 ImageDim *.looknfeel > grepImageDim.txt

in other words, every line with "ImageDim" in it in every looknfeel file in my looknfeel dir with 5 lines of context either side.

whole 2000 lines. you dont have to go through that if you dont want to.

EDIT (2):

(and I want to avoid everyone sending me their looknfeel files and saying "here, fix this!").

yeah. i can really understand that. sorry about this.

im personally running linux, but im doing most of this work at school in windows XP. I would be happy with something that ran on either (or both).
though dont feel rushed to get it done. it would be an awesome feature but at the same time it wouldn't hurt use to use the vanilla stuff so its not he biggest deal.

Thanks a bunch Though

and yeah, unless you can think of something it could specifically be then really dont look through that link above. i know i really dont like the idea of it.

[CrazyEddie]

Thanks. I'll get something up and running very, very soon.

With regards the the the text file, search for 'dimension="Hight"' in bbUI.looknfeel (2 instances).

CE.

[ara]

thanks. that fixes that problem and gives me a completly different one. lol.

but that was easily fixed and now it works. thanks alot.

go my spelling!!!!

[CrazyEddie]

I've made an initial version of a command line tool to perform validation of our XML files. It's in subversion at:
https://crayzedsgui.svn.sourceforge.net ... tor/trunk/

Currently I've only tried it out on linux, and note that you need the Xerces-C++ library installed since this is used to do the validation.

I think this is ok for a "first draft" tool, I imagine we'll be able to polish this a bit more over time

CE.

[ara]

thats awesome. i can pass it files and it gives me a list of errors that are a heap more detailed than the layout editors or our projects log.

thanks.
