I would like to make custom palettes for Illustrator which have the ability to get out of the way, similar to native palettes. On Windows, my minimized = true; command works, and the palette shrinks into a tiny bar, which I like. However, same command on Mac does not do the trick.
#target illustrator
#targetengine main
function myPanel(){ var arr = ["A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z"]; function paletteWindow(){ var w = new Window('palette', 'My Panel', undefined, {resizeable: true}); var g1 = w.add('group'); var t = g1.add('treeview', undefined, []); t.size = [200, 450]; for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++){ var item = arr[i]; var n = t.add('node', item); } t.onDoubleClick = function(){ if(t.selection != null && t.selection.text != ''){ alert(t.selection.text); } }; var btn_min = w.add('button', undefined, 'Minimize'); btn_min.onClick = function(){ w.minimized = true; w.update(); } w.onResizing = w.onResize = function () {this.layout.resize ();} w.onShow = function(){ w.minimumSize.width = 220; w.minimumSize.height = 100; t.items[1].expanded = true; } this.show = function(){w.show();} } var thisPaletteWindow = new paletteWindow(); // have to call it like this, or it disappears. thisPaletteWindow.show();
}
myPanel();
