I'm using a panel container and want to do some positioning for the focused item. My problem is that each item contains some text (in a label) and this has to be positioned too but I can't get it to work.
The code should look something like the following (I'm shifting the position of the items depending on where they appear on screen):
When I run this code the label appears at 0,0 and doesn't animate at all. I've had success animating with labels in the past but only as part of a group control (when the group is animated the label moves with the group).
My next attempt was then to put a group around the label and animate it, unfortunately when I put the label within a group it no longer appears. It seems that it is not possible to have group controls within the focusedlayout tag?
In summary my two questions are as follows:
Thanks
The code should look something like the following (I'm shifting the position of the items depending on where they appear on screen):
Code:
<focusedlayout width="164" height="328">
<control type="image">
<posx>40</posx>
<posy>10</posy>
<width>104</width>
<height>268</height>
<texture>halfdisc.png</texture>
<aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
<animation effect="slide" time="300" delay="500" start="20,184,104,268" end="130,184,104,268" condition="Container.Position(0)">focus</animation>
<animation effect="slide" time="300" delay="500" start="0,184,104,268" end="110,184,104,268" condition="Container.Position(1) | Container.Position(2)">focus</animation>
</control>
<control type="label">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>100</width>
<height>10</height>
<font>VideoCaptionFont</font>
<label>TITLE</label>
<animation effect="slide" time="300" delay="500" start="20,150" end="160,150" condition="Container.Position(0)">focus</animation>
<animation effect="slide" time="300" delay="500" start="0,150" end="140,150" condition="Container.Position(1) | Container.Position(2)">focus</animation>
</control>
</focusedlayout>When I run this code the label appears at 0,0 and doesn't animate at all. I've had success animating with labels in the past but only as part of a group control (when the group is animated the label moves with the group).
My next attempt was then to put a group around the label and animate it, unfortunately when I put the label within a group it no longer appears. It seems that it is not possible to have group controls within the focusedlayout tag?
In summary my two questions are as follows:
- Is it possible to animate a label control on its own?
- Is it possible to use a group control within a focusedlayout element in a panel?
Thanks
