Hi, I'm new to all this coding so go easy.

Is there a way to auto select one of the options in a yes/no kodi dialog using python?

The reason I ask is that I'm trying to force a skin change using JSON (I know!), currently the default "would you like to keep this change" dialog appears when this happens - I want it to be seamless and would prefer this message not to appear OR to auto select yes

I've tried the built in close all dialogs command but when this is executed the skin reverts to the original one, presumably because there wasn't a "yes" input sent.

is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Will

perhaps sending a click to the button would work?

Code:

xbmc.executebuiltin('SendClick(10100,11)')

where 10100 is the id of the yes/no dialog and 11 the id of the yes button.

Thanks for getting back to me, Didn't know about sendclick() thanks! The only issue is that the yes/no dialog for the "keep skin changes dialog" doesnt appear to have an id looking at the log file: (10019 is the appearance settings window) the dialog is this one ------ Window Init (DialogYesNo.xml) ------

it may not be exposed to the log, but 10100 is the id of the yes/no dialog.
see: http://kodi.wiki/view/Window_IDs

it may also work if you specify the window name instead of id:

Code:

xbmc.executebuiltin('SendClick(yesnodialog,11)')

works perfectly - thanks a million!
