Keyboard shortcuts to navigate weather locations? - protogen - 2011-01-26
I was wondering if there are any keyboard shortcuts to navigate between the 3 different weather locations? Or any way to set keyboard shortcuts for that action?
Having to navigate to the little up/down arrows takes quite a few remote control key presses. I'd like to be able to set, for example, page up/page down to cycle through the 3 locations.

sure, map this command to one of your keys:
Control.Message(3,movedown)

Brilliant! Works perfectly. Thank you.
Your response has got me thinking and I have a few questions...
Which control is id="3" in the weather window? Is it the little up/down buttons? Are they button controls or a spin control?
How did you know the id of this control - by trawling through code, or is there some reference table/manual?
As you've probably guessed, I've been reading these...

i just looked it up in MyWeather.xml, but there's a reference in the wiki too:

Thank you ronie. Exactly the info I was looking for.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Now, I'll be able to work out the answer to these kinds of questions myself in future.
Cheers!
