It is sometimes hard to help when the other party is not open to suggestions

If you're making skin for yourself - disable .. in settings. If it is for community do not enforce hacks (that you can not fully control).

You again missed the point.

This thread is about how to focus the first actual item in the list no matter the item ".." is visible or is not visible.

Thanks.

No need to thank me for missing the point (from your point of view)

Good luck with hacks!

As much as I hate these sort of hacks somthing like

PHP Code:

<onload condition="stringcompare(ListItem.Label,..)">Down</onload> 


And if you really want to specialize it for each individual panel try something like for lists

PHP Code:

<onload condition="stringcompare(ListItem.Label,..) + Control.IsVisible(blah blah blah)">Down</onload> 


and for panels

PHP Code:

<onload condition="stringcompare(ListItem.Label,..) + Control.IsVisible(blah blah blah)">left</onload> 


where "blah blah blah" is your id numbers

though this may not work and I haven't tested it because ListItem.Label may not be filled yet on window load

If Jezz_X solution is not working, add a button to your focusedlayout:

PHP Code:

<control type="button">
    <onfocus condition="stringcompare(Container(XX).ListItem.Label,..) + IsEmpty(FocusFirstItem)">action</onfocus>
    <onfocus condition="IsEmpty(FocusFirstItem)">SetProperty(FocusFirstItem,1)</onfocus>
</control> 


Where XX is the id of the list or panel control (could work with just ListItem.Label but I'm not sure) and action is right or down, Control.Move(XX,1) should also work.

You also have to clear the property on unload:

PHP Code:

<onunload>ClearProperty(FocusFirstItem,videolibrary)</onunload>
