Problem with passing values - mstef - 2010-12-20
The idea is to have different colors for each section, movies, tvshows, music, etc. I use the same view for each section. To have one view declaration and color independent I have to pass value of folder name where are textures for that color. As constant declaration is not usefull outside of numeric values in numeric parameters I can't use it in <texture> tag. So I create fake button wich has default control in myvideonav when onfocus set property and pass focus to default id=50.
in includes have declaration:
PHP Code:
<include name="ThemeColorPurple">
<control type="button" id="999">
<onfocus>SetProperty(ThemeColor,purple)</onfocus>
<onfocus>Control.SetFocus(50)</onfocus>
</control>
</include>
in mymovienav.xml have:
PHP Code:
<include>ThemeColorPurple</include>
and then in some view in itemlayout inside some list have:
PHP Code:
<control type="image">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>234</width>
<height>234</height>
<bordertexture>$INFO[Window.Property(ThemeColor),special://skin/media/,/holder-8x3-focus.png]</bordertexture>
<bordersize>12</bordersize>
<fadetime>100</fadetime>
<texture background="true" diffuse="holder-8x3-diffuse.png">$INFO[Listitem.Icon]</texture>
<aspectratio scalediffuse="false">stretch</aspectratio>
</control>
and it doesn't work
If I create label and put this string: "$INFO[Window.Property(ThemeColor),special://skin/media/,/holder-8x3-focus.png]" into label it display exactly path what I wont but it don't work inside bordertexture some way. There is no info in debug insted of creating property. Images are in placed. What I missed?

most likely you can't use infolabels for bordertextures

So do you have any idea how can I do that?

Use the bordertexture in separate image control above the icon control?
PHP Code:
<control type="image">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>234</width>
<height>234</height>
<texture>$INFO[Window.Property(ThemeColor),special://skin/media/,/holder-8x3-focus.png]</texture>
<bordersize>12</bordersize>
<fadetime>100</fadetime>
<aspectratio scalediffuse="false">stretch</aspectratio>
</control>
<control type="image">
<posx>12</posx>
<posy>12</posy>
<width>220</width>
<height>220</height>
<fadetime>100</fadetime>
<texture background="true" diffuse="holder-8x3-diffuse.png">$INFO[Listitem.Icon]</texture>
<aspectratio scalediffuse="false">stretch</aspectratio>
</control>

Thank you for the hint. I'll try.

The only thing is that the border and the icon will not load the same. If I use texture with icon and textureborder, the second will load if icon is loaded. In this scenario (separate images) I probably will have lot of frames without content when scrolling. That is why I didn't use ListItem.Overlay in panel container because they loaded before icons so I have only watched marks before content is loaded. I suppose I can use smart animation effects but I can't figured it out.

Hmmm.... it's totaly freak. I can't get value by Window.Property(ThemeColor) from inside panel container focuslayout. It show empty. I don't know why I didn't check this yesterday. But if I put it outside panel container (the same file, a few lines below) it shows corectly value. Any suggestions?

yeah only ListItem.blah labels will be checked and update inside panels and lists

Ok, so I know what to do. I suppose it could be simpler. I have to create for each element block for each color section with sth like this <visible>StringCompare(Window.Property(ThemeColor),purple)</visible> and it will be work.
Thank you all for help.
