Hello

Im my SettingsWindow i use a lot of Fakelists, now i have also buttons in these Fakelists which should show the actual Setting from another Settingswindow (i.e. SettingsCathegory.xml)

to achive this, i did try to read the coresponding setting via "System.GetBool(bool)" but got some Problems with it.

"System.GetBool(bool)" is listed as "Infolabel" but doesnt/(seems not to) return a Value/String, even if i use something well knewn as "Pvr.HasTVChannels".

What i did try is, use the bool directly in the "<selected>" Tag in a Radiobutton Control, and as a second attempt as visible condition in two different ways. Non of them worked.

Hers the Code: (Bool as visible condition)

xml:


          <control type="radiobutton">

                <label>$LOCALIZE[36615]</label>

                <selected>true</selected>

                <textcolor>DialogTextColor2</textcolor>

                <visible>String.IsEqual(System.GetBool(unknownsources),true)</visible>

            </control>

            <control type="radiobutton">

                <label>$LOCALIZE[36615]</label>

                <selected>false</selected>

                <textcolor>DialogTextColor2</textcolor>

                <visible>!String.IsEqual(System.GetBool(unknownsources),true)</visible>

            </control>

xml:


          <control type="radiobutton">

                <label>$LOCALIZE[36615]</label>

                <selected>true</selected>

                <textcolor>DialogTextColor2</textcolor>

                <visible>System.GetBool(unknownsources)</visible>

            </control>

            ...

My favoret question: "Shuldnt this work"? Or in other Words: Where do i do the Mistake here?

And where do i finde the Bool for "show notifications" (Settings -> System - > Addons)?
(Didnt finde it in the GUISettings.)

first off, i'm pretty sure our wiki documentation is incorrect on this one.
System.GetBool() returns a boolean and not a string.

you can use it directly (without string compare) in a visible condition, like so:

xml:
<visible>system.getbool(input.enablemouse)</visible>

second, System.GetBool() can only retrieve system settings, the ones that are listed on the various SettingsCategory windows.
to check what's available, see: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...ttings.xml

'show notifications' is not a system setting, instead it's part of the AddonManager window.
and 'pvr.haschannels' is not a setting, it's an infobool.

Thanks

stuff commes together, looks like somme bools can be integers to.

i have this as a "label2" in a button control:

xml:


    <!-- Settings Fakelist-help Button AddonupdateSettings -->

    <variable name="GeneralAddonupdatesOptionsLabel">

        <value condition="Integer.IsEqual(System.GetBool(general.addonupdates),0)">$LOCALIZE[36606]</value>

        <value condition="Integer.IsEqual(System.GetBool(general.addonupdates),1)">$LOCALIZE[36607]</value>

        <value condition="Integer.IsEqual(System.GetBool(general.addonupdates),2)">$LOCALIZE[36608]</value>

    </variable>

strange, but the label doesnt change without a "Reload.Skin"

Now im not shure, if this is related to the bool, or the Variable? (As i cant show the Integer(bool) as label, i cant test if it is realy set instantly (others i tested do.)

(does it neet a "Reload.Skin" to reevaluate the variable?)
 

<setting id="general.addonupdates" type="integer" label="36605" help="36611">
<level>0</level>
<default>0</default>
<constraints>
<options>
<option label="36606">0</option> <!-- AUTO_UPDATES_ON -->
<option label="36607">1</option> <!-- AUTO_UPDATES_NOTIFY -->
<option label="36608">2</option> <!-- AUTO_UPDATES_NEVER -->
</options>
</constraints>
<control type="list" format="string" />
</setting>

-----

the other booleans like "general.addonnotifications" i found work perfectly. (and instand)


EDIT:

Hm, seems not to be a problem of using a variable there, as it also doesnt work with three labels:

xml:


<!-- Aktualisierungen (updates) -->

            <control type="button">

                <label>$LOCALIZE[36605]</label>

                <label2>$LOCALIZE[36606]</label2>

                <!--label2>$VAR[GeneralAddonupdatesOptionsLabel]</label2-->

                <textcolor>DialogTextColor2</textcolor>

                <visible>Integer.IsEqual(System.GetBool(general.addonupdates),0)</visible>

            </control>

            

            <!-- Aktualisierungen (updates) -->

            <control type="button">

                <label>$LOCALIZE[36605]</label>

                <label2>$LOCALIZE[36607]</label2>

                <!--label2>$VAR[GeneralAddonupdatesOptionsLabel]</label2-->

                <textcolor>DialogTextColor2</textcolor>

                <visible>Integer.IsEqual(System.GetBool(general.addonupdates),1)</visible>

            </control>

            

            <!-- Aktualisierungen (updates) -->

            <control type="button">

                <label>$LOCALIZE[36605]</label>

                <label2>$LOCALIZE[36608]</label2>

                <!--label2>$VAR[GeneralAddonupdatesOptionsLabel]</label2-->

                <textcolor>DialogTextColor2</textcolor>

                <visible>Integer.IsEqual(System.GetBool(general.addonupdates),2)</visible>

            </control>

As Ronie said, it's not possible. System.GetBool only returns true or false (that's why it's called boolean). It does not return a string/integer which can be compared to another one.

Edit:
Or long story short -> System.GetBool can be used for system settings that have a on/off switch. Not for settings with multiple options.

o.k. ,got it, so only the ones marked as type "boolean" will work.

so there is no solution to get anything from these Settings marked as type="integer"

[Hitcher]

No.

[Rantanplan-1]

O.K.

Guess these "internal controls" have also no id which would make it possible to get the label via "Control.GetLabel(id).Index(1)"

(just to be shure, then if not, i guess i have to give up on this special case.)


--------------------


EDIT:
At least this should work: $INFO[Container(5).ListItemAbsolute(1).Label2] (shouldnt it?)

 Container(id).ListItemAbsolute(id).[infolabel] -> Shows the infolabel for an item in a Container. the item id is the absolute position in the container

I can show the position in the control Id="5" via: $INFO[Container(5).CurrentItem] which is "1", if i focus the Control from which i need the Label2, so position Number should be correct but "$INFO[Container(5).ListItemAbsolute(1).Label2]" shown in a Label control stays Empty (same window)

[Rantanplan-1]

INFO[Container(5).ListItemAbsolute(1).Label2]

o.k. guess its not working beacause the the control is in a Grouplist(id="5") -> not a real list (noticed this late), did test the same in a "normal" list control, and there it works (

looks like there is realy no solution.  (

Thnks for all the input.
