hi,

i apologize if this has been asked before; however, at the risk of annoying some devs I'd like to ask the following question: how do you change a view type when moving from item to item on a fixedlist?

Take a look at the screenshot below... i can change the viewtype if i click on, say, "Recently Added", "Apple Trailers", etc.; however, I'd like to be able to, "seamlessly", change the view when I move to another item without actually clicking it, but rather just moving to it.

I hope this makes sense.



Thanks in advance for any assistance.

use <onfocus> instead of <onclick>

hey Jezz_x, thanks for the reply... i tried your suggestion but it did not work; does this code applies to Dharma or Pre-Dharma? I have to ask because I'm doing this for Dharma and the Xbox (though probably irrelevant to all).

Below is the code I've used...

PHP Code:

    <include name="PosterWrapView">

        <control type="wraplist" id="300">
            <posx>130</posx>
            <posy>54</posy>
            <width>320</width>
            <height>148</height>
            <visible>Container.Content(Movies) | Container.Content(VideoFiles)</visible>
            
            <onup>-</onup>
            <ondown>-</ondown>
            <onleft>501</onleft>
            <onright>501</onright>
            
            <focusposition>2</focusposition>
            <scrolltime>200</scrolltime>
            
            <itemlayout height="24">
                <control type="label">
                    <posx>5</posx>
                    <width>320</width>
                    <font>font16</font>
                    <info>ListItem.Label</info>
                    <align>left</align>
                </control>
            </itemlayout>
            <focusedlayout height="40">
                <control type="label">
                    <posx>5</posx>
                    <width>320</width>
                    <font>fontBold30</font>
                    <info>ListItem.Label</info>
                    <align>left</align>
                </control>
            </focusedlayout>
            
            <content>
                <item id="1">
                    <label>All Movies</label>
                    <onfocus>ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,MovieTitles,Return)</onfocus>
                </item>
                <item id="2">
                    <label>Recently Added</label>
                    <onfocus>ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,RecentlyAddedMovies,Return)</onfocus>
                </item>
                <item id="3">
                    <label>Apple Trailers</label>
                    <onfocus>XBMC.ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,plugin://video/Apple Movie Trailers lite)</onfocus>
                </item>
            </content>
        </control>

fair enough... can you recommend a "work-around"?

[AoN x KiLLa]

All you have to do is make a hidden button and set the onfocus to the location of the window for example "ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,RecentlyAddedMovies,Return)" and give it an id and set the on up and ondown of the container that you want to move from to the buttons id.

Also nice theme can't wait to see more of it.

Edit: Just seen that won't work because your using a wraplist. I tryed making a theme like this before but, what I did was instead of making a wraplist I made it just change from window to window and the list would have to be just for decoration I guess IDK.

I have same type of code in some of my skins...It'll work:

Have your <onup> in the wraplist go to a group or button:

<onup>8240</onup>

then that group or button's <onfocus> do what you want:

<control type="group" id="8240">
<control type="button" id="8241">
<onleft>595</onleft>
<onright>595</onright>
<onup>stop</onup>
<onfocus>ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,MovieGenres,return)</onfocus>
<visible allowhiddenfocus="true">ControlGroup(8240).HasFocus</visible>
</control>
</control>

AoN x KiLLa,

Thank you for the attempt... as for the theme, it's just new "nxe-metro" interface from the Xbox360, though not as fancy.

I don't work on it too much, just when i get a chance; you can see a few screenshots...

mcborzu,

Many thanks for your time; I kinda get what you're saying and will give it a try... how will the item know which button to focus on based on my selection from the wraplist?

[AoN x KiLLa]

Hope you get more time to work on it! I will definitely being using it as my theme if you release it.
