I want to add a toggle button to the MusicOSD to lock and unlock the visualisation but <onclick>LockPreset</onclick> isn't working.

Thanks.

Its probably a similar issue I run into with the enable / disable subtitles button. I doesn't work outside that window so first you have to close the OSD and then trigger it in a series of <onclicks>
Also it might be this issue https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/2599...20aef46c70

Thanks for tip but adding 'close' before doesn't work; neither does setting up a dummy LockPreset button in the visualisation window and sending click or messages to it.

Thanks.

Just another maybe, because I'm not sure how you did it but you need to add the force=true part as well like

PHP Code:

<onclick>Dialog.Close(MusicOSD,true)</onclick> 


from here http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=List_of_Built_In_Functions

Dialog.Close(dialog[,force]) Close a dialog. Set force to true to bypass animations. Use (all,true) to close all opened dialogs at once.

because if you have an animation closing the window, then the window still isn't closed until the animation finishes so LockPreset is still being triggered in the OSD and not the Vis window.

really I guess I should just test it out for myself

Thanks Jezz that's sorted it now.

so LockPreset, subtitles related actions don't work if we have dialog on top of relevant window?

[Jezz_X]

indeed quite a few window specific commands only work if that window has focus. for obvious reasons I guess

Ok, I did some research - now I need list of actions that should work even if proper window (mainly Video Fullscreen and Music Visualisation) is not active

This is list of actions I gathered - let me know if I missed any or added too much here

Code:

--- Video Fullscreen ---
ShowSubtitles, NextSubtitle, AudioNextLanguage,
SubtitleAlign, SubtitleShiftUp, SubtitleShiftUp,
VerticalShiftUp, VerticalShiftDown,
SubtitleDelay, SubtitleDelayPlus, SubtitleDelayMinus,
AudioDelay, AudioDelayPlus, AudioDelayMinus,
AspectRatio,
ShowTime,
NextScene, PreviousScene,
IncreasePAR, DecreasePAR

--- Music Visualisation ---
NextPreset, PreviousPreset, RandomPreset, LockPreset,
IncreaseVisRating, DecreaseVisRating,
IncreaseRating, DecreaseRating
