To activate a second window from another one, you would do something like this.

Media2 Media2 = new GUIWindowManager.GetWindow(8110)
GUIWindowManager.ActivateWindow(8110)

That should work for you. You may need to call Media2.Process in between those two as well, but I'm not positive if that's required. The syntax may be a bit off but you see what I'm getting at.

[Zarra]

i try but i come evry time back to the home Windows.
MP dont load the new XML

[jburnette]

Do you have a skin file for that window that has its window id set to <id>8110</id> at the top of the skin file?

[Zarra]

yes i have a second XML Datei with the same ID


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<window>
<id>8110</id>
<defaultcontrol>2</defaultcontrol>
<allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>
<controls>
<control>
<description>BackGround</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>1</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>0</posY>
<width>720</width>
<height>576</height>
<texture>background.png</texture>
</control>

<!-- anfang -->
<control>
<description>Header</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>1</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>0</posY>
<width>720</width>
<height>70</height>
<texture>AGT_PluginHeader.png</texture>
</control>
<!-- Ende -->
<control>
<description>an Image</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>1</id>
<posX>75</posX>
<posY>370</posY>
<texture>hover_my videos.png</texture>
</controls>
</window>

that why i cant understand where are the mistake

[jburnette]

What's your code to call/activate the new window?

[Zarra]

if (control == initial)
{
// go to the second GUI

BodyMedia2 bd = new BodyMedia2();
bd.Init();
//BodyMedia2 bd = new BodyMedia2();
//bd.OnPageLoad();

// GUIWindowManager.GetWindow(8110);
// GUIWindowManager.ActivateWindow(8110);
//this.Visible = false;
Load(GUIGraphicsContext.Skin + @"\Oberflaeche2.xml");
ClearAll();

//ClearAll();
//GUIWindowManager.CloseCurrentWindow(); GUIWindowManager.ActivateWindow(0);
//GUIWindowManager.GetWindow(8110);

//MessageBox.Show( GUIWindowManager.IsOsdVisible());
//GUIWindowManager.ActivateWindow(8110, true);
//Load(GUIGraphicsContext.Skin + @"\Oberflaeche2.xml");
//s.Init();
// ClearAll();
}

you see i use all Method : )

[jburnette]

How about

BodyMedia2 bd = new GUIWindowManager.GetWindow(8110);
GUIWindowManager.ActivateWindow(8110)

You're getting the black screen, I think, because of this call:

Load(GUIGraphicsContext.Skin + @"\Oberflaeche2.xml");

Which should be handled for you when you call GetWindow (since you're already loading it from your second class).

[Zarra]

With this Sytax BodyMedia2 bd = new GUIWindowManager.GetWindow(8110);
i become a mistak
Without this Syntax Load(GUIGraphicsContext.Skin + @"\Oberflaeche2.xml");
it jump to the Home window : (

Your skin file is bad!!!

You need a closing statement for each control statement... you are missing one at the end...

The section I quoted above should be....

     <!-- Ende -->  
     <control>
      <description>an Image</description>
       <type>image</type>
       <id>1</id>
       <posX>75</posX>
       <posY>370</posY>
       <texture>hover_my videos.png</texture>
      </control>
     </controls>
</window>

If you are loading a new skin into an existing window while you are using it... You will need to force the window manager to reload the page....

            Load(GUIGraphicsContext.Skin + @"\Oberflaeche2.xml");
            Restore();
            LoadSkin();

Without the two extra commands, the window manager will not actually load the new skin because the skin is window is already loaded... I found this out the hard way... (The CybrDisplay plugin uses dynamically generated skin files for the GUI setup).
