How to call GUITVGuide inside a plugin

[STSC]

Hi,

I'm just wondering how the GUITVGuide gets called inside the GUITVHome.
There is just a BTN_TVGuide inside an ENUM.

I would like to call an extra window like the GUITVGuide in my plugin. How can I do this?

Ok, I know now how this works. You can use the hyperlink tag inside the xml skin file to call another window by its ID.

The thing is that I want to create a slightly modified EPG. So I put everything of GUITVGuide.cs into my own plugin and changed the ID to 560, which isn't used yet. But that doesn't work. Do you know why?

Did you also make the required changes to the skin file?
Your version should load a different skin file and the window ID in the skin file should match the ID you are using in the code

This is what I did. The strange thing is when I use the original ID (=600), it works, but it replaces the original EPG of MP.

So there must be something that needs to be initialised before you can start your EPG??????

Why don't you use this one?

GUIMessage msgtv = new GUIMessage(GUIMessage.MessageType.GUI_MSG_GOTO_WINDOW,0,0,0,(int)GUIWindow.Window.WINDOW_TVGUIDE,0,null);
GUIGraphicsContext.SendMessage(msgtv);

@Mr.Mitchell

Thank you for the hint. You were right, I forgot to change the ID inside the skin file!

Thanks!!!
