Need help with SkinStudio validation error

Cannot focus a disabled or invisible window.

Friday, August 19, 2005 by Hapkido | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I added some "sounds" to an existing WB skin I have and when I clicked on "Save", I got a message saying that there were some critical errors that needed fixing, etc.... and would I like SkinStudio to do that for me. I clicked, "Yes" and it did it's thing, but then I got another error message which said: "Cannot focus a disabled or invisible window." Since I am barely familiar with SkinStudio, could someone tell me what this means and how I go about resolving the problem?

THANKS

Maybe a fresh install is needed. I have 4 rigs with SKS on them and they all show the Analyze tab. If I remember correctly, the tab didn't show up until the first time a performed a validation, though, and it has remained there through a bunch of updates.

At least you can get to it through the menu, but why it *hides behind* the window I don't know.

Cheers & good luck,
Daiwa

Well, uninstalled SKS and installed it again via Stardock Central and it's the same old story. Probably at this point, the only logical recourse is to send off an e-mail to Stardock support.

I should have thought of this sooner, but do you have SKS Standard or Pro? Sorry you're having so much trouble.

Cheers,

NOW I know what you mean. However, the "Analyze" tab doesn't appear for me.


Open it from menu, size SkinStudio so can get at analyzer then click and drag it to where it should be, this has worked for me when it decides to wander.

HEY..... mucho thanks! It took a little finesse, but eventually I got the silly thing to get moved into the SKS main window and the elusive "tab" suddenly appeared. I closed SKS and opened it again just to be sure that it "stuck" and it did.

Good news - I hate things like that that should be but ain't. Just a thorn in the side.
