WindowXML GUI Toolkit (replaces GUIBuilder for XBMC python scripts for GUI coding)

hmm wierd nano about the both onClick and onActionm ideally back and previous shouldn't be onControl (how ever i expect it may be a result of the usings lists maybe? because generally back on a list will cause the list to go back a directory). Will look into this further, thou i don't really see what real problem you would get.

Fixed: Something in the SetFocus (Spiff pointed it out)
Added: setFocusId(int id) and getFocusId(int id)
Fixed: media now looks in fallback\\skins\\media

The media was silly thing i missed when i changed it to do fallback\\skins.
I was getting some where glitches and exceptions today when running windowsXMl but then when i tried debug/vs they stopped.

Also Nuka mentioned something wrong with using lists with ids other then 50-59. I tried it today and they worked fine, i could add to them and get teh current position.

Im returting home for the break so i won't be able to do anything for two weeks. Feel free to fix stuff

How about you post a sample script with lists working in dialogs and more than one list in windows with different info in each.

Maybe even do a sample script with every control working, then i can see what's going on here.

Hmm,

ok, refresh list is done via : self.refreshList()

get list poss is done via: self.getCurrentListPosition()

get the list item is done via: self.getListItem(self.getCurrentListPosition())

how about:

select item, size??

There needs to be more documentation, as using lists like controls stuffs the script when going between two windows, so donno's way of having the list as id 50 seems the only way to do a list that is reliable. I like having lists like this: self.list = self.getControl(67) , but this only causes troubles in the long run which sux. In Donno's example script, as soon as you make the list as I like doing it and change between two windows, XBMC_PC crashes. So, looks like doing all the self.addItem(xbmcgui.ListItem(etc etc which seems more confusing and doesn't appear to be able to do the two functions above.

Help?

you are correct, only lists within range 50-59 work on Windows not Dialogs.

Scripts like AMT with three lists all wth different information do not work currently.

So I'm stuck also, for now.

i did have a list using id 68 going fine, and i did the above : self.list = self.getControl(68), then i would use self.list.additem(etc etc), this worked great until i tried going between to winxml windows.

ok, i completely didn't understand that

If you have an example of a script working with list controls outside of the builtin lists, could you please post it so i can test.

List for Donno of possible bugs in winxml:

1) Media fallback path when used on scrollbar textures does not work
PROBLEM = Can not use custom scrollbar textures (Need for Default skin)

2) Media fallback path does not work in winxml Dialog windows
PROBLEM = Can't create my dialog very well

3) Can not set thumbnails on list items.

Thats about if for now.

:-D

Nuka, find below a link to a script that Bootsy is writing, I helped him create a cool little fake 3 label list.

Its using three different lists in windowxml outside the builtin lists

Link:
http://xbmc-scripting.googlecode.com/svn...eScore.rar

only one button fills a list and the list selection stays highlighted, but it's a start.

I still don't see what i did different, but thanks, i'll play some more.

Edit: I was accessing the control only with self.getControl(4).addItem(""), that does not work. Should it?
