same here, i manage to control the xbmc running on the same PC but
got this everytime i try test window

Code:
15:54:58 T:4480   DEBUG: HttpApi Start command: SetResponseFormat  paras: SetResponseFormat
15:55:09 T:4480   DEBUG: Previous line repeats 2 times.

15:55:09 T:4480   DEBUG: Activating window ID: 10000
15:55:10 T:4480   DEBUG: ------ Window Deinit (Home.xml) ------
just reload home.

got some UI issues when i resize the working window or maximize it.
the dropdown xml menu is fixed and hide if you resize.

nice stuff, can this in the future pull the includes of working window and/or perhaps show the xml it is located.
some tool to find dup ids and list of ids used will be fine too.

Many thanks.

i will try to request the window id instead of the window name it might fix the problem.
For the includes i did think about adding a window to select them and modify them.
Ill look into fixing this, this weekend.

Im not going to lie to you, i use Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2.0 it is awesome to build xml,
has nice auto complete function, nice bookmarks, split windows, pretty much all that i want to work with,
but
your program has potential because it searches inside my skin folder has nice shortcut for images and can preview and control xbmc,

since i cant help you in code (i still learning skin code) i decide to show you all tools that i use so it can give you some ideas or not XD, all i can help you is doing some UI design if you want.

anyway here is the mix of your tool and MVSTA 2.0

Image

there is a couple more things and tools that i use but let it be for next time XD.

i wondering what tools other skinners use.

Cheers

notepad++ including some plugins is unbeatabable IMO.

Yeah i totally agree with notepad++ is hard to beat.
But i designed this for people who don't know much about skinning.

If most of the skinner are using notepad++ i would suggest making a notepad++ plugin for xbmc skinning. Something close to what i did with this application but integrated to notepad multiclipboard would be from what i would start a tabbed interface that can be moved anywhere . I am pretty sure i can get a image previewer within notepad++ directly. The xbmc testing could be also included in the plugin. Well there also many other thing that could be added in a notepad++ plugin.

No problem i already tested before posting this message to see if i was able to do it. And didn't get any problem with compiling and testing my first plugin Smile
The first thing i will try to do is a drag and drop of a control into the text.
