Yeah, that works, except for some reason, as I saw in other windows, it needs to be used twice, as such:

Like if you want the Coin/Weight display to show, you have to do this:

OnShow="show_window=Journals.CoinWeight show_window=Journals.CoinWeight"

(This is mostly for reference for anyone else that finds their way to this thread, too. :P)

My experience is that if you use the "=" operator for the argument, then you'll need to use the command twice, if you just use a space, then it is enough to type it once.

I have no problem believing that it is behaving differently on other systems and always needs to be twice, though. :D

I'm having a hell of a time keeping my target window open permenantly
I've tried Datafilter 0001 and FFFF.. as well as the onhide: visable=true and it still goes away when i hit esc.. what am i missing?

Visible. It's spelled Visible, and it needs to be spelled correctly in the script.

(And you're not the first person to misspell it. :p)

yep, had it misspelled.. but changing it to visible=true didnt help (sigh)

FFFF would mean the window recieves all data updates
0001 would mean the window recieves visible/not visible updates

What you need is FFFF xor 0001 which = FFFE

*sigh* not working.. if someone would like to try my UI and see if they can get the target window to stay visible permenantly, please let me know what I need to do.. or upload it as a Patch/Addon??

Which one, Night Elf 2?

hmm, DynamicDataFilter="FFFE" doesn't work? Changing it to DynamicDataFilter="0000" should also make it stay open. Both ways work on default target window granted it won't show up when you first target something, but once you open it with Alt-T it won't disappear when you lose a target or log out.

You also said the window closes when you hit esc? That's strange:
allowcloseontop="true" will stop a window from closing with esc.

Hope that helps

OK, as embarassing as it is.. I found the issue

Work done within the "v1 and v0" pages will NOT be visable unless you have something targeted.. and there lay my problem, I designed completely in the v1 page.

I've moved the stuff I wanted permenant outside into the main target window and it works fine now.. thank you all for your assistance!
