Is it possible to use conditions (or perhaps $VAR[]) in <timeperimage> ?

e.g. none of this works

Code:

<timeperimage condition="Skin.HasSetting(somesetting)">30000</timeperimage>

or

Code:

<timeperimage>$INFO[Skin.String(someskinstring)]</timeperimage>

or

Code:

<variable name="timeperimagevalue">
   <value condition="Skin.HasSetting(somesetting1)">30000</value>
   <value condition="Skin.HasSetting(somesetting2)">60000</value>
</variable>

...

<timeperimage>$VAR[timeperimagevalue]</timeperimage>

Only way I was able to do this was to have multiple multiimage controls and then set visibility using <visible> conditions. Is there a better way ?

PHP Code:

<control type="multiimage">
    [...]
    <timeperimage>15000</timeperimage>
    <visible>stringcompare(Skin.String(BackdropMultiTime),15000)</visible>
</control> 

<control type="multiimage">
    [...]
    <timeperimage>30000</timeperimage>
    <visible>stringcompare(Skin.String(BackdropMultiTime),30000)</visible>
</control> 

<control type="multiimage">
    [...]
    <timeperimage>60000</timeperimage>
    <visible>stringcompare(Skin.String(BackdropMultiTime),60000)</visible>
</control>

Conditional includes if they don't need to be changed when a window is loaded.

Hi Hitcher, sorry for being daft but I'm new at this so could you please explain some more ?

Working great, tnx Black

one more thing if I may ask, how do you set default value for your fake spin control ?

e.g.
I added this to set <timeperimage> but first time skin is loaded value is blank

PHP Code:

<control type="group" id="5004">
                    <description>Fake spin control</description>
                    <visible>!IsEmpty(Skin.String(GlobalBackdropMulti)) | !IsEmpty(Skin.String(HomeMoviesMultiImage)) | !IsEmpty(Skin.String(HomeTVShowsMultiImage)) | !IsEmpty(Skin.String(HomeMusicMultiImage)) | !IsEmpty(Skin.String(HomeProgramsMultiImage)) | !IsEmpty(Skin.String(HomeWeatherMultiImage)) | !IsEmpty(Skin.String(HomeSettingsMultiImage))</visible>
                    <width>1210</width>

You have to load it with <onload>. If the setting is empty, set default value.
