details additional functionality enabling addons to set details into a listitem.
But how does an addon get the listitem in the first place?

PHP Code:

# get active window
    wid = xbmcgui.getCurrentWindowId()
    win = xbmcgui.Window(wid)
    # get focused control
   cid = win.getFocusId() 


Now what? How do I get from the control id. to the actual listitem?
TIA for any clues.

Code:

control = win.getFocus()
listitem = control.getSelectedItem()

keep in mind you can only do this on lists created by python.
it's not possible to modify listitems in any of the lists created by kodi.

Thanks ronie.
I was beginning to suspect this. So I'm barking up the wrong tree :-{
Drat!
