InputText Plugin wont work for me.

[Jkon]

Hello all.As the title say's,I cant get the textinput plugin to work.I have tried various bits of code that i have found in the forums including the code from the plugins help file and am currently using the code from Yelleke's search bar http://rainmeter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=6554.I simply cant get an input field to appear.
I'm running rainmeter 2.0 on vista 32bit.Is anyone else having problems with it or am i doing something wrong(most likely).

If you use the "Example Skin" exactly as it is in the manual, it won't work?

Didn't answer my question though.

Does that example skin with NO changes, work?

[Jkon]

Sorry,the code above does not work for me.

[jsmorley]

Well, that's not good. Works for everyone else as far as I know. We need someone else on Vista to give it a go.

[Jkon]

I've tried much simpler variations,just one basic input field called by a left click,but get nothing.

[jsmorley]

Ok. Well we need to get someone else on Vista 32bit to see if the issue is with the OS, or something specific to you.

That skin works like a champ here.

Make sure logging is turned on, then refresh the skin and try activating the text box again.

Then check the log and see if the is anything there.

Works for me with Vista Home Premium 32-bit.
