[Approved] Add GUI Property #selectedindex (1 Viewer)

[Migue]

This patch adds the #selectedindex property which returns the index of the currently selected item for skin creators to use if they wish. Note that if the selected item is "..", then an empty string is returned.

I have tested this patch pretty thoroughly in MP 1.0.2 using the updated Core.dll you sent me. It works perfectly, and I simply added the #selectedindex to my #itemcount so it is displayed only where #itemcount is supported (which unfortunately is not in all plugins).

I find it VERY useful in long lists, much more precise than spincontrols!

Here is the code I used in common.window

        <control>
            <description>Number of Files Label</description>
            <type>fadelabel</type>
            <id>0</id>
            <posX>30</posX>
            <posY>505</posY>
            <width>220</width>
	 <label>#selectedindex/#itemcount</label>
            <textcolor>ffa9d0f7</textcolor>
            <visible>skin.string(#selectedindex)+skin.string(#itemcount)</visible>
            <animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowOpen</animation>
            <animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowClose</animation>
        </control>

NOTE: skin.string has changed to string.equals in MP 1.1.0 Alpha and latest SVN.

and here's how it looks.
