Full Version: Side blade buttons on epg
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I've spent all afternoon trying to figure out how to put the buttons from the sidebar onto my epg so that they are always visible. If I press the left key when on the epg grid I will then be taken to the buttons along the top of the grid, as seen in the photo below (which is great, this is how I want it) - but the problem is, I'm then stuck on these buttons, I cannot go back down to the epg grid. Does anyone know how to essentially escape from the side blade button focus? Ideally I want to press down to take me back on to the grid.

If it helps, here is the code I have for the buttons on mypvrguide.xml

Code:
<control type="grouplist" id="9050">
                <orientation>horizontal</orientation>
                <top>214</top>
                <left>365</left>
                <control type="button" id="102">
                    <description>Recordings</description>
                    <height>51</height>
                    <label>19163</label>
                    <width>300</width>
                    <font>sky38</font>
                    <align>center</align>
                    <textwidth>352</textwidth>
                    <include>ButtonCommonValues</include>
                    <onclick condition="IsEmpty(Window.Property(IsRadio))">ActivateWindow(TVRecordings)</onclick>
                    <onclick condition="!IsEmpty(Window.Property(IsRadio))">ActivateWindow(RadioRecordings)</onclick>
                    <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(sideblade_hiderecordings)</visible>
                </control>
                <control type="button" id="103">

                    <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(sideblade_hidesearch)</visible>
                </control>
                <control type="button" id="100">
                    <description>Channels</description>
                    <height>51</height>
                    <label>19019</label>
                    <width>300</width>
                    <font>sky38</font>
                    <align>center</align>
                    <textwidth>352</textwidth>
                    <include>ButtonCommonValues</include>
                    <onclick condition="IsEmpty(Window.Property(IsRadio))">ActivateWindow(TVChannels)</onclick>
                    <onclick condition="!IsEmpty(Window.Property(IsRadio))">ActivateWindow(RadioChannels)</onclick>
                </control>
            </control>

Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Okay I think I'm getting somewhere...

I've added <ondown>back</ondown> below the "grouplist" line. But what this does is closes the guide completely.

Puzzled......



Edit:: Solved... I added <ondown>10</ondown> (since 10 is the id of the epg grid I guess?) this works exactly how I want it Smile
Can you share it
What skin is this
