About Window

[Jay]

Is there anyway we can make an about windows, where the user click, read whatever is in there, press ok, ect.

[d.healey]

@jay Yes, use a panel and display it when a button is clicked.

[Christoph Hart]

There's even a floating tile called AboutPanel...

Oh fancy! And can it open a link in a web browser?

[Dan Korneff]

@christoph-hart good to know! I was just about to tinker with this

[Jay]

I already did a panel like @d-healey said, and it's working fine.

Thanks @d-healey, @Christoph-Hart for your fast responses.

@Christoph-Hart @d-healey When trying to display the text using the JSON stuff, the text label is created but the text is not display

const var autorLabel2 = Content.addLabel("autorLabel2", 191, 385);
// [JSON autorLabel2]
Content.setPropertiesFromJSON("autorLabel2", {
"id": "aboutLabel2",
"width": 175,
"height": 28,
"parentComponent": "aboutPanel",
"text": "By: Joansi Villalona",
"editable": "0",
"fontSize": 22,
"fontName": "Adobe Arabic"
});

@jay you should update to a newer version. That JSON stuff hasn't been needed since January

[Jay]

@d-healey I'm at the latest I think (v1.6.0)

[d.healey]

@jay Did you build it from the master branch?

[Jay]

@d-healey yes I did

[d.healey]

@jay That's odd. Did you write that JSON or was it auto-generated? Or is it from a project you created in an older version?
