ie

PHP Code:

<onclick>RunScript(script.toolbox,info=dialogvideoinfo,dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID])</onclick> 


Many thanks.

Nope not possible, but you can open extendedinfo infodialog with RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=extendedinfo,dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]) for example.

Example:

Code:

<control type="button" id="1635">
                    <label>$LOCALIZE[31674]</label>
                    <label2>$INFO[Skin.String(TriPanelPosition)]</label2>
                    <include>ViewtypeSettingsButton</include>
                    <onclick condition="Stringcompare(Skin.String(TriPanelPosition),1)">Skin.SetString(TriPanelPosition,2)</onclick>
                    <onclick condition="Stringcompare(Skin.String(TriPanelPosition),4)">Skin.SetString(TriPanelPosition,1)</onclick>
                    <onclick condition="Stringcompare(Skin.String(TriPanelPosition),3)">Skin.SetString(TriPanelPosition,4)</onclick>
                    <onclick condition="Stringcompare(Skin.String(TriPanelPosition),2)">Skin.SetString(TriPanelPosition,3)</onclick>
                    <onclick condition="Stringcompare(Skin.String(TriPanelPosition),1)">Skin.SetString(TriPanelPosition,2)</onclick>
                </control>

Will see if it is worth it to expose "native" spincontrols to skinners. I´m not a big fan of them though, even for 3 items i would prefer a selectdialog.
(In general I don´t like buttons those more complex buttons. In my opinion pressing left/right/up/down should always move the focus to the next control)

I won´t create a separate add-on for one or two functions, but if more stuff like this is needed I will create a separate add-on.

I know it can be faked with xml, but I was specifically questioning this part of the quote. Sorry for not making it more clear in my initial inquiry.

Is it possible to show text file in kodi, for example readme.txt through the <control type="label">
My text file is located in the c partition and I needs to display text like a plot info in my Custom_GameInfo.xml

For some use cases, it could be useful to have an script to select an node of an treeview for dynamic lists to set the <content>...</content> value.

The skinshortcuts script does it perfectly for adding a new menu item with its dialog to select an category, an addon, and an subdir of the addon for example.
A lite version of this with just fetching the correct path of a node and storing them somewhere (skin setting value, property) would be awesome and we could offer dynamic customs widgets with nearly no limitations.

Maybe... u want to include something like that to your toolbox. It would fit perfectly there.

Just started to play a bit with the script next to a request for my skin.
Is there some documentation on all the features ? I searched for it but didn't manage to find one.

I used RunScript(script.toolbox,info=exportskinsettings) to export my skin setting in a file and works great (found it in Rapier). But I would like to know if we can ask for only a part of the datas to be exported. I would like to output only a specific set of Skin.Strings. I mean :

Code:

<onclick>RunScript(script.toolbox,info=exportskinsettings,string="MODEL1")</onclick>

Which only output Strings containing "MODEL1" in name.

Thanx,
Great job on this script !
