Hi
i am completely new comer.
Can you please tell me how can i begin with for the following requirements.
1. I wan to create a dialog say configure key map.
2. In the dialogs there are 2 or 3 buttons or menus option.
3. i need to call a third part program (executable file) if a button is clicked.
4. after the external program is returned i need to restart the xbmc from code.

actually The external program will be used as a xml editor for various xbmc xml files. so upon change i need to restart xbmc automatically.

And i have found out that there are different types for controls like labels buttons. They need to be declared in xml files intended for the dialog. That xml file is some how used in the dialog code. I need to know the mechanism.

Thanks in advance.

You can do it via a custom window in the skin - see how the skin settings are done in confluence for example.
