i could be wrong.
But if Uda could shed some light on how we can do this . It'll be most appreciated.

Oh yea, good point. Lol I did notice that the 3 posts he made were his first 3 on this site. I don't think he really comes to this site often =/ I'm still working on making buttons do something lol. I would love to see a section with java and javascript questions since both are now usable with umc.

Grimm,

If you take a look at the API docs for the ScriptInterface class at the end you'll see a function called registerMenu()

https://lsd.ca/umc/docs/plugin-api/c...Interface.html

Example

public void init(ScriptInterface script) {
    script.registerMenu(
        "Salvage",
        new JMenuItem("Materials"),
        "com.lsd.udabot.plugins.salvage.Crafting",
        "showFrame");
}

This registers the top level name Salvage under Plugins with a menu item of Materials which calls the showFrame() function of the com.lsd.udabot.plugins.salvage.Crafting class.

Once you are able to create a frame I have figured out how to add a button and give it an action. Although the way I have this coded when I run the command createFrame() it runs my kosOff() function. It and I was wondering about JPanels if I should use a JPanel if I plane to add more then one button to a window.

function createFrame()  {

	//myFrame

	var myFrame = javax.swing.JFrame("Bellum Bot");

	b = { actionPreformed: kosOff()}

myFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

	myFrame.getContentPane().add(myButton1,java.awt.BorderLayout.NORTH);

        myFrame.pack();

        myFrame.setSize(300,200);

        myFrame.setVisible(true);

        //myButton1 

	myButton1 = ("Kos Off");
	
	function kosOff() {umc.parse ("kosOff")}

	myButton1.addActionListener(kosOff)

	myButton1Listener = new JavaAdapter(java.awt.event.ActionListener, b)





}

Hmmm I seem to have found a bug in my code. I know which line it is, I have no clue what is bugged about it.

myFrame.getContentPane().add(myButton1,java.awt.BorderLayout.NORTH);

Error: Can't find method java.awt.Container.add(string,java.lang.String). (window.js#13)

That would be because you never defined the variable myButton1 properly before trying to add it to the content pane.

You also define it wrong later (as a javascript string); addComponent() only accepts well, components. Read the Java 1.6 API docs for information on any of the Java classes http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/

var myButton1 = javax.swing.JButton("Button Text");
myFrame.getContentPane().add(myButton1,java.awt.BorderLayout.NORTH);

You will also have to look at the ActionListener class for the JButton to trigger click events.
