Hello,

I am trying to get the behavior of the old button scrollers using the list container with static content. Are there any examples of this? From the manual I came up with the following code that does not work. It displays nothing.

Code:

<control type="list" id="9000">
    <viewtype label="menu">list</viewtype>
    <posx>700</posx>
    <posy>160</posy>
    <orientation>vertical</orientation>
    <scrolltime>200</scrolltime>

    <content>
        <item id="1">
            <label>movies</label>
        <onclick>ActivateWindow(MyVideos,Movies)</onclick>
        </item>
        <item id="2">
           <label>tv</label>
           <onclick>ActivateWindow(MyVideos,TV)</onclick>
    </item>
    <item id="3">
            <label>games</label>
            <onclick>ActivateWindow(MyPrograms,Games)</onclick>
    </item>
    </content>
    <itemlayout height="50">
    <control type="label">
        <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</label>
        <textcolor>mint-dark</textcolor>
        </control>
    </itemlayout>
    <focusedlayout height="50">
    <control type="label">
        <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</label>
            <textcolor>mint</textcolor>
        </control>
    </focusedlayout>
</control>

Thanks,
JB

what folder is this in?

<posx>700</posx>

It's in 720p.

I would suggest you probably need a width and hight for it so the skin engine knows how big and how much to draw

[jmarshall]

Yep - you'll need at least a width for the itemlayout and focusedlayout, and possibly some posx and posy stuff for the labels within them (depending on what's in defaults.xml).

[jzbruno]

That was it. It was a combination of no width/height on the list control and no width/height on the controls in the itemlayout and focusedlayout. Thanks for your help!

One thing to note. If you set the itemlayout height and the width at the same time it acts weird ( cuts off the text ). Only do height if you have a vertical list and only do width if you have a horizontal list.
