You forgot to set the gridlist as a child of the main window. I haven't tested this - but try it.

Also, before I get hate mail - I don't care.

How about you stop pointing fingers at each other?

1 - You are BOTH noobs. CapY can't manage to fix a SINGLE argument in his script - it was so painfully obvious. The rest of you are noobs for starting a flame war in the scripting forum for little reason. Take the shit elsewhere.

2 - The script itself sucks.

If ya'll are going to argue about something like this, do it in private. This is a place to ask questions, get answers, and have general discussion about SCRIPTING.

And Qaisjp why you are hiding your name ?

Let the people know for such an asshole : http://imageshack.us/f/820/qaisjpnoob.png/

And this is not good place for a fight , we can get banned .

Qais is hiding his name because he has a right not to release his own personal information, much like you have a right not to have yours released. You can both get banned illegal activies as you have both now violated the Data Protection Act by releasing the names of eachother and/or eachothers facebook accounts, CapY is the worse one off because he did it in retaliation to Qais even though you're both as bad as eachother.

CapY, you didn't even have the decency to hide people's names in that screenshot who have nothing to do with this, if they chose to report that then good luck with that one.

CapY, instead of asking/spamming the forums asking people to help, why don't you try and figure it out yourself for once. Sit there and think about why it's going wrong, use the wiki for assistance. Try and figure something out on your own for once, if you keep relying on the community you won't learn.
