Hi guys

I need some basic help with my code. I have stored a list of buttons in the arrays and I'm trying to add the buttons in the skin windows, but I have got an error: TypeError: Non api type passed to "addControls" in place of the expected type "p.XBMCAddon::xbmcgui::Control."


Here is the code:

Code:

program_title = '[B]' + title + '[/B]'

if self.programs == False:
    program_controls = xbmcgui.ControlButton(
        int(position_start),
        int(position_top),
        int(program_width),
        int(program_height),
        program_title,
        focusTexture = self.path + self.button_focus,
        noFocusTexture = self.path + self.button_nofocus,
        textColor ='0xFFFFFFFF',
        focusedColor ='0xFF000000'
    )
    self.add_programs.append(ProgramControls(program_controls, program))


if self.programs == False:
    self.addControls(self.add_programs)
    self.programs = True

Here is the output of the buttons:

Code:

I have got no idea what I'm supposed to do.

Can you please help me how I can add the buttons control in the skin window?

If I'm reading your code right, you're only adding one control at a time (not within a loop), so no need to have self.add_programs, just set it to the new control. Though I've no idea what you're doing with self.programs in this...

@BoboCratchett thank you very much for your help, you are almost correct. I've created a empty list to appending the controls to a list to add the controls when I pressed on the down arrow button of the keyboard. I'm trying to appending another controls to a list to add the controls when I press on the down arrow button again but i get the error.

Do you know how I can appending the controls to a list in each time when I press on the down arrow button of the keyboard to allow me to add the controls in each time?

If that is possible, please let me know.

You are adding a list of controls, not the individual controls within the list. You must add the individual items from the list, not the whole list at the same time.
