Is this possible. Auto Sizing??? - igotdvds - 2010-06-22 I want to make a menu made up of labels but I need each menu item to start where the other leaves off. Example: TV Shows\Movies\Music\Settings The "\"s would separate them. I am using a fixed list with <content> defined for each menu item and cant get them to line up back to back. I have tinkered with the Auto sizing label feature to no avail. Can anyone help? - Sranshaft - 2010-06-22 Have you tried using a grouplist for your auto-sizing labels? - igotdvds - 2010-06-22 Sranshaft Wrote:Have you tried using a grouplist for your auto-sizing labels? I cant use static content with a grouplist. - Sranshaft - 2010-06-22 Ah fair enough. Didn't see that part... - jmarshall - 2010-06-22 Not sure why having static content matters, but isn't this what Hitcher did as an experiment with Alaska? Only way is grouplist with autowidth labels as Sranshaft suggests. - Hitcher - 2010-06-22 I use it in a few places in Alaska Revisited and it works great. Here's how I use it for VideoOSD to display all the info in one line - PHP Code: <control type="grouplist"> - igotdvds - 2010-06-22 That works great for a grouplist but I am trying to do this for the Home Menu, which I need to define the following: <item id="1"> <description>Movies</description> <label>$LOCALIZE[342]</label> <icon>homeicons/movies-full.png</icon> <thumb>special://skin/backgrounds/movies.jpg</thumb> <onclick>ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,movietitles)</onclick> <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoMoviesButton)</visible> </item> I cant define those things in a grouplist and without them I cant use a bunch of the things I have setup for the home screen. I just want the home screen items to end up back to back, I guess it cant be done while still defining those items. - Hitcher - 2010-06-22 So you want something like the Dynamically Spaced Labels test I tried for Alaska Revisited? - igotdvds - 2010-06-22 Hitcher Wrote:So you want something like the Dynamically Spaced Labels test I tried for Alaska Revisited? If all of those fields can be defined in that method, yes! I need thumb, icon, etc. for other things on the home screen. - Hitcher - 2010-06-22 I no longer have the code but you simply fill all the <label></label> tags with Container(n).ListItem(-1), Container(n).ListItem, Container(n).ListItem(1), etc. The problem comes if you want the list to scroll because you have to set it up like a Coverflow view and you can only have a fixed slide movement. - igotdvds - 2010-06-22 Hitcher Wrote:I no longer have the code but you simply fill all the <label></label> tags with Container(n).ListItem(-1), Container(n).ListItem, Container(n).ListItem(1), etc. So I would have a Control for a fixed list with my static content set, then a group list with multiple Label controls for each item in the menu then assign the labels in the group list to the items from the fixed list? |
