  Adding a text box for “About” button to an After Effects ScriptUI?

  Posted by Vincenzo Imbimbo on September 8, 2022 at 4:38 pm

  Hello guys, i’m having trouble adding some text to my “About” window inside ScriptUI, i have seen some scripts that when you click the “?” button it opens up a window and have a white box with text info (link of the script, etc), i have my about window and it opens up a new window but i don’t know how to add that “white box” with text.

  I want something like the attached image.

  This is my code:

  scriptAbout = “all my info with multilines”;

  var aboutWindow = new Window("palette", "About Window", undefined, {resizeable: true, closeButton: true});
  aboutWindow.orientation = "column";
  var aboutOne = aboutWindow.add("group", undefined, "aboutOne");
  aboutOne.orientation = "row";
  aboutText = aboutOne.add("statictext", undefined, scriptAbout);

  Try this. You can modify the size as you wish.

  scriptAbout = "all my info with multilines";
  var aboutWindow = new Window("palette", "About Window", undefined, { resizeable: true, closeButton: true });
  aboutWindow.orientation = "column";
  var aboutOne = aboutWindow.add("group", undefined, "aboutOne");
  aboutOne.orientation = "row";
  aboutText = aboutOne.add('edittext {size: [372,66], properties: {readonly:true, multiline: true}}');
  aboutText.text = scriptAbout;
  aboutWindow.show()
