Control.GetLabel not working for altlabel

Hitcher · 2010-07-24 19:45

So I can have my submenu dynamically spaced I'm using a hidden control group for the buttons like this -

PHP Code:

<control type="button" id="3">
    <label>-</label>
</control> 

and then using an autosize control group for the labels -

PHP Code:

<control type="label">
    <width min="29" max="200">auto</width>
    <height>20</height>
    <aligny>center</aligny>
    <font>Font_14</font>
    <textcolor>White</textcolor>
    <label>$INFO[Control.GetLabel(3)]</label>
</control> 

Which works just fine until I get to the tooglebuttons.

This

PHP Code:

<control type="togglebutton" id="4">
    <label>Ascending</label>
    <altlabel>Descending</altlabel>
</control> 

and this

PHP Code:

<control type="label">
    <width min="29" max="200">auto</width>
    <height>20</height>
    <aligny>center</aligny>
    <font>Font_14</font>
    <textcolor>White</textcolor>
    <label>$INFO[Control.GetLabel(4)]</label>
</control> 

only ever returns 'Ascending' not the alt version 'Descending'.

Is this a bug or just the way it is?

Thanks.

Does the hidden button ever get toggled?

Yes, in that example clicking it reverses the list order so it's working ok.

I did think of using system.getbool(lookandfeel.sortorder) but there are 16 entries for all the different viewmodes and I've don't know how to define which one I'm currently in.

Ok, I think I see the issue. It'd be nice if I could have some XML to test the fix with, else I'll fix in the blind Smile

Cheers,

I see if I knock up a quick and dirty hack to Confluence.

Confluence - MyVideoNav.xml

Replace

PHP Code:

<control type="togglebutton" id="4">
    <description>Sort asc</description>
    <posx>220</posx>
    <posy>53</posy>
    <label>-</label>
    <onleft>3</onleft>
    <onright>50</onright>
    <onup>2</onup>
    <ondown>99</ondown>
</control> 

with

PHP Code:

<control type="togglebutton" id="4">
    <description>Sort asc</description>
    <include>ButtonMediaSubCommonValues</include>
    <label>Ascending</label>
    <altlabel>Descending</altlabel>
    <posx>220</posx>
    <posy>53</posy>
    <onleft>3</onleft>
    <onright>50</onright>
    <onup>2</onup>
    <ondown>99</ondown>
</control>
<control type="label">
    <description>Sort asc</description>
    <include>ButtonMediaSubCommonValues</include>
    <posx>420</posx>
    <posy>53</posy>
    <label>$INFO[Control.GetLabel(4)]</label>
</control> 

Then change sort order.

Thanks.

EDIT: Also marvel at my skinning skills.

Hey, that skinning is still better than most of my efforts Tongue

Fixed in r32144, r32145.

Cheers,
