ScriptUI Dialog with interacting buttons
Here's a simple script I just banged out to show a simple case of two buttons interacting with each other in a ScriptUI modal dialog:
//DESCRIPTION: Sample DialogNotice that if you close the dialog by hitting the Escape key rather than clicking the Close button, you do not get the alert.
myDlg = new Window('dialog', 'Example');
myDlg.orientation = 'row';
// Add action buttons
myDlg.btn1 = myDlg.add('button', undefined, 'Disable Him');
myDlg.btn2 = myDlg.add('button', undefined, 'Disable Him');
myDlg.closeBtn = myDlg.add('button', undefined, 'Close');
// Add button functions
myDlg.btn1.onClick = function() {
if (this.text == 'Disable Him') {
this.text = 'Enable Him';
myDlg.btn2.enabled = false;
} else {
this.text = 'Disable Him';
myDlg.btn2.enabled = true;
}
}
myDlg.btn2.onClick = function() {
if (this.text == 'Disable Him') {
this.text = 'Enable Him';
myDlg.btn1.enabled = false;
} else {
this.text = 'Disable Him';
myDlg.btn1.enabled = true;
}
}
myDlg.closeBtn.onClick = function() {
this.parent.close(1);
}
result = myDlg.show();
if (result == 1) {
alert("You used the Close button");
}

Did you copy and paste my code or retype it? For instance, it should be .onClick, not .onclick.
I just tried the posted script using InDesign CS4 and ESTK and it worked just as advertised.
I've not tried it with CS5, which I don't have installed on this computer.
