[QUOTE="Dragy, post: 754313, member: 91197"] I have made some progress with it and this is working, but is this the right way to do? I have some kind of feeling this is not the way to use it. [code]protected override void OnClicked(int controlId, GUIControl control, MediaPortal.GUI.Library.Action.ActionType actionType) { if (control == buttonDevices) { bw_get = new BackgroundWorker(); GUIWaitCursor.Show(); bw_get.RunWorkerAsync(); bw_get.DoWork += bw_getDevices; bw_get.RunWorkerCompleted += bw_getDevices_Completed; //bw_get.ProgressChanged += bw_getDevices_ProgressChanged; GuiList.Clear(); activeType = HCB.type.device; GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#hcb.activeType", "Devices"); } .......... [/code] [code] void bw_getDevices(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e) { try { e.Result = h.getDevices(); // This gets passed to RunWorkerCompleted } catch (Exception ex) { Log.Error("bw_getDevices: " + ex.Message); } } void bw_getDevices_Completed(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e) { try { devicesList = (SortedList)e.Result; foreach (device d in devicesList.Values) { GUIListItem item = new GUIListItem(); item.OnItemSelected += new MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIListItem.ItemSelectedHandler(listSelectDevice); item.Label = d.name; item.Label2 = d.type; item.ItemId = d.id; item.IsPlayed = d.status; GuiList.Add(item); } GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#itemcount", GuiList.Count.ToString()); Log.Info("HCB: Devices listed"); GUIWaitCursor.Hide(); } catch (Exception ex) { Log.Error("bw_getDevices_Completed: " + ex.Message); } }[/code] Download whole project here: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21558454/MP_HomeControlBox.zip[/url] I hope it's all alright now :) But there is a big chance that my coding is all wrong..
