Need help:my dialog can't work

Question

My dialog's code:
var myDialog = new Window('window', 'find',undefined);
myDialog.lstbx=myDialog.add("listbox");
myDialog.show();
It doesn't work.
Anybody can tell me why and give me some examples let it work?

Answer 1

I use a message window (a palette) to display what a script is up to when it is running. A script that processes a bunch of files could display each file name in succession:
// create a message window
mess = create_mess (30, 'Example');
docs = // get a bunch of documents
for (i = 0; i < docs.length; i++)
app.open (docs[i]);
// show the current file's name in the message window
mess.text = app.activeDocument.name;
app.activeDocument.close()
function create_mess (le, title)
dlg = new Window('palette', title);
dlg.alignChildren = ['left', 'top'];
var txt = dlg.add('statictext', undefined, '');
txt.characters = le;
dlg.show();
return txt
