I'm starting to see that msoft was perhaps right (yuck!) to go with a 'new' xml (mcml) with extensions for executable bits like onfocus() -- think javascript (yuck again, but -- dang nab it -- you sometimes need that stuff). I have been looking at the (group) control tags and there is no way to 'initialize' except when kodi starts (or when the shortcut script regenerates the code.... hmmm, how does the shortcut script cause kodi to re-read the xml?). You've, no doubt, been here but it's fun for me to explore ;-)
