Can you inherit a Plugin window and listen for events? - tria - 2014-08-09
Can I create a directory listing in a Plugin (not script) add-on, and then inherit that active window id using xbmcgui.Window?
If so, can I also hook to events such as onFocus?
I know I am in crossing to the hacky side if I do that, but it is the only way to keep the addon simple, and most importantly to be consistent with the current skin.
In case you need to know why, I need to get notified whenever a list item get focus. It can, however, be used for many other things beyond that.
