How to open window using a button

[ifs2003]

Did anyone knows a gauge in XML that have 2 variations that when you push in it open an window like GPS, Pedistall or all other window i chouse ? how to make it ?

[bdenni]

There are a number of icons available that open the various cockpit windows (radio, gps, map, throttle/pedestal, overhead, etc.)  They are usually stored in a CAB file called SimIcons.  There is the xml file with the instruction and the bmp file that you see on the panel.  

This is the gps icon.xml content:

-
 
-
 
 
 225 (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE)
 
 

Hope this helps

Here's snippets of one of my panel.cfg files for a B757 which
uses an existing "IFR" icon to toggle a window to display the
F16 radar gauge. You should be able to find the "cpt.icons.cab"
file online if you don't already have it in you "gauges" folder.

//---------------------------------------------------------
[Window Titles]
Window00=Main-Panel
Window01=GPS
Window02=OVERHEAD
Window03=RADAR                    //<---- ID's the added RADAR window

[Window00]
file=757main.bmp
............

gauge76=cpt.icons!IFR,  950,584,19,19     //<--- ICON to toggle the RADAR window

..........

[Window03]
file=RADAR.bmp                                
file_1024=RADAR.bmp
size_mm=264
window_size_ratio=1.000  
position=0
visible=0
ident=IFR_MAIN_PANEL                      //<--- the "IFR" icon relates to this ident
window_size= 0.170, 0.230
window_pos= 0.750, 0.640

gauge00=F16!Radar,  12,26,244,187
gauge01=F16!Radar Mode,  41,251,59,20
gauge02=F16!Radar Range,  156,251,59,20

//------------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps. I also have created my own icons to toggle the
radar and TCAS windows, among others, using different IDENT
codes. If the above method doesn't suit your needs I can give
you the xml code/bmp files to do it.

Here's the XML code I use to open a radar window:


 
 
     Toggle Radar Window
     
     1065 (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE)
 


In my case, the ID is "1065"....
In your case, replace the "1065" with "90"...
