All,

I am developing a plugin that shows data. One of the data fields is a list of items. The area of the control is limited and I would like the lit to have a scroll. How do I do that.

my current code is:

self.myTextArea = xbmcgui.ControlList(0, 0, 150, 150)
self.addControl(self.myTextArea)
self.myTextArea.addItem("AAAA")
self.myTextArea.addItem("BBBB")
self.myTextArea.addItem("CCCC")
self.myTextArea.addItem("DDDD")
self.myTextArea.addItem("EEEE")
self.myTextArea.addItem("FFFF")

(to view "EEEE" and "FFFF", I need a scroll up/down)

Thx,
Yohay

is it really a plugin? judging by the code you're writing a script instead.
plugins can't create their own skin stuff.

the easiest way would be to use the WindowXML class and create all skin parts as an xml file.
for autoscroll you can then simply add <autoscroll>true</autoscroll> to the list control.
