text in includes - r1ctus - 2010-02-04

i have a long text i'd like to use at many places in the skin as a condition. i'd like to include it in includes.xml, like i include a constant. is this possible?

I believe <constants> can only be numeric.
But you can do:

Code:
<include name="mylabel">

   <label>text</label>

</include>

<control type="label">

    <include>mylabel</include>

    <posx></posx>

    <posy></posy>

</control>

or include the complete <control>

sorry, i dont think i asked the question clearly. the text i'd like to include is a long condition, part of it is this:

Code:
[Skin.String(CurrentViewMode,50) + Skin.HasSetting(ShowMusicIconTopBar) + Window.IsActive(MusicLibrary)]

i'd like to use this text as a condition in the skin somehow like this:

Code:
<animation effect="slide" end="0,-43" condition="**The Condition I Included***">Conditional</animation>

i hope my question is easier to understand this way.

you can create a control (button control for example), set its visibilty condition (the one you want to use) and give it an id (65 for example). then you can use condition="control.isvisible(65)"
