Sorry I must ask again, but I didn't found anything about it on the forum or in the wiki.
I recently found out to use a control with the type panel to list some video items. If I would use the xbmcplugin class to add items, I can add the url and an addon handle, how do I do this with the panel form the windowxml class?

Thank you!!

you use xbmcgui.controlList.addItems() to add listitems to the panel and xbmcgui.WindowXML(Dialog).onClick() to deal with the onClick.

The event onClick helps me only to handle clicks on controls with ID, every item in the panel gives the same ID back...

[phil65]

use getControl(xxx).getSelectedItem(), or, for the index, getSelectedPosition()
(look at xbmcgui.controlList in python docs)

Thanks! That is what I needed, I always ask me what getSelectedItem does.

Yes, I admit it´s a bit confusing. A better name for that method would be "getFocusedItem()"
