hi

i'm trying to get a edit control label from python script but i can't find any info about this.

can anybody give me a hint?

Thanks for your reply.

the way I have seen it done is to use a window property.

in your xml file:

Code:

<control type="label">
    <label>$INFO[Window.Property(some_unique_identifier)]</label>
</control>


if your py file:

Code:

<window class>.setProperty('some_unique_indentifier', some_value)

setProperty

thank you for your reply,
but can you give me the correkt python statement for getting a value from the skin (an edit control label text)?

Thanks for your reply.

disregard, I mistakenly thought you were trying to edit the label, not retrieve the label.

if you know the control id maybe try "Control.GetLabel":

hi,

now i tested a little bit, but with no 100% luck...

case 1:
---------
xml:
<control type="edit" id="55">
<label>$INFO[Window.Property(searchcriteria)]</label>

python:
xbmcgui.Window(xbmcgui.getCurrentWindowId()).setProperty('searchcriteria','fakenews')
...
searchcriteria = xbmcgui.Window(xbmcgui.getCurrentWindowId()).getProperty('searchcriteria')

-> i can read the value i have written before

case 2:
---------

xml:
<control type="edit" id="55">
<label>fakenews</label>

python:
suchkriterien = xbmcgui.Control.getLabel(55)

-> 'xbmcgui.Control' has no attribute 'getLabel'

sorry, forgot to say:

the value that i could write/read in case 1 is not the value which i enter in the ui ;-(
