Hi,
I want to create a new window, in order to create custom buttons for my various genre's
I got the window 100%, but I'm struggling with 3 points:

1. which ID to give it <window id ="XXXXXX">

2. what to name the file - customXXXXXX.xml or custom_XXXXXX.xml

3. How to Activate it from a previous menu: <onclick>ActivateWindow(XXXXXXX)</onclick>

Any help will be muchly appreciated!!!

P.S Using Simplicity, but this is more 'general' than skin specific!
Thanks!

After hours and a rather tired section of my brain, I did finally crack it.
For anyone who is interested (many views, no repplies), heres the method:

1. pick unique id, in my case - 1788

2. Start the custom window with: <window id="1788">

3. Name the file as you require with id at end - custom_trial_1788.xml and save in the respective folder - here being skin/addons/720p/

4. edit the section where you want to activate the window - <onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(1788)</onclick>

Done n Dusted!!!!

Very proud of myself right now, still a newbie but you gotta start somewhere!!!
