i have a long text i'd like to use at many places in the skin as a condition. i'd like to include it in includes.xml, like i include a constant. is this possible?

I believe <constants> can only be numeric.
But you can do:

Code:

<include name="mylabel">
   <label>text</label>
</include>

<control type="label">
    <include>mylabel</include>
    <posx></posx>
    <posy></posy>
</control>

or include the complete <control>

sorry, i dont think i asked the question clearly. the text i'd like to include is a long condition, part of it is this:

Code:

[Skin.String(CurrentViewMode,50) + Skin.HasSetting(ShowMusicIconTopBar) + Window.IsActive(MusicLibrary)]

i'd like to use this text as a condition in the skin somehow like this:

Code:

<animation effect="slide" end="0,-43" condition="**The Condition I Included***">Conditional</animation>

i hope my question is easier to understand this way.

you can create a control (button control for example), set its visibilty condition (the one you want to use) and give it an id (65 for example). then you can use condition="control.isvisible(65)"
