Action Form Designer Problem/Questions

[xsdaver]

I'm just now starting to try to get my arms around Girder 4.0. I've used 3.2 but was never an expert. I've installed v4b8 on my desktop and laptop. On the laptop, I can open the Action Form Designer, on the desktop I get the message "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Clikc on OK to terminate the applicaiton." The only difference I can see is the laptop is XP, the desktop is Windows 2000. I've tried deinstalling and reinstalling, no success.

My question is, it looks like the Action Form Designer will allow me to make a quick form with controls on it that can be used to trigger events in Girder. However, I have not been able to figure out how to create a form and make it useable. If someone could point me to some reference material that would help explain it I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

The Action form designer will let add a config dialog for setting up various settings in a plugin or lua script. It will also let you add new items to the Girder action tree.

Search for treescript in the manual for a reference.

Thanks, that seems to explain ho w to use it sufficiently to get me going.

Any ideas why it won't run on my W2K machine? I did check and the treescript plugin is enabled and apparently working.
