disabling list box in CC?

[eboda_snaf]

hi there,

anyone knows how to disable listbox in CC?

list.enabled=false;  //works in InDesign CS6 but does not work in CC.

(my scripts need to be workable in CS6 and CC for different customers...)

Thanks in advance..

use the script preference version to work cs6 script in cc

put this line in first line

app.scriptPreferences.version = "4.0"// version of cs3

This will not work if i have below line.

app.doScript (main, undefined, undefined,UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, app.activeScript.displayName);

Hi together,

I also think, changing the script preferences to pre-CC will not help at all to work around the problem with ScriptUI and its shortcomings with InDesign CC and above. It's not a matter of old objects, properties and methods vs. new ones, but principal bugs that were introduced with CC.

Regards,

The only alternative I currently see is to totally abandon ScriptUI for some projects and use HTML Panels for CC.

But this comes with a steep learning curve and I think you cannot provide one single script for e.g. CS4 to CC 2017, if you want to pack all the functionality into one product.

For HTML Panels see this blog post by Marc Autret that sums up the topic:

if it's a genuine bug, i think and hope Adobe will try to solve and deal with them professionally..

Just hoping that they are not trying to discourage us to move away from scriptUI by ignoring them..

Don't hold your breath. . .

arrghhh.....

[Laubender]

Yes. Arrgh…

I don't think that much changed with ScriptUI since 2013 ( ? ) when CC was introduced.
Nothing than some new bugs with higher versions perhaps. 😞

The watershed—so to say—is really between CS6 and CC v9.
After porting InDesign form 32Bit to 64Bit I assume.
