Hi everyone,

I'm playing around a bit with programming a dummy-plugin. Just to understand how MP works (as there is no complete documentation - if i didn't get this wrong)

That is what I wanted do to:

I want to have a selectButton which changes the text of a label if the button is selected.

What I've allready got:

[CODE]namespace something

{

  public class somethingKategorien : GUIWindow

  {

    [SkinControl(2)]    protected GUIToggleButtonControl btnPolitik = null;

    private MPLabel label1;

   

    public somethingKategorien()

    {

      InitializeComponent();     

    }

   

    public override bool Init()

    {

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

    }

    public override int GetID

    {

      get

      {

        return 5001;

      }

      set

      {

      }

    }

        protected override void OnClicked(int controlId, GUIControl control,

    MediaPortal.GUI.Library.Action.ActionType actionType)

    {

      if (control == btnPolitik)

      {

        OnButtonPolitik();

      }

      base.OnClicked(controlId, control, actionType);

    }

    public void OnButtonPolitik()

    {

      label1.Text = "Button was pressed!";

    }

    protected override void OnPageDestroy(int newWindowId)

    {

      base.OnPageDestroy(newWindowId);

      SaveSettings();

    }

    private void SaveSettings()

    {

      using (Settings xmlwriter = new Settings(Config.GetFile(Config.Dir.Config, "MediaPortal.xml")))

      {

        xmlwriter.SetValueAsBool("something", "politik", btnPolitik.Selected);

       

      }

    }

    protected override void OnPageLoad()

    {

      base.OnPageLoad();

      SetBtnSelected();

    }

    private void SetBtnSelected()

    {

      using (Settings xmlreader = new Settings(Config.GetFile(Config.Dir.Config, "MediaPortal.xml")))

      {

        bool politik = xmlreader.GetValueAsBool("something", "politik", false);

        btnPolitik.Selected = politik;

      }

    }

    private void InitializeComponent()

    {

      this.label1 = new MediaPortal.UserInterface.Controls.MPLabel();

      this.label1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(16, 24);

      this.label1.Name = "label1";

      this.label1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(120, 16);

      this.label1.TabIndex = 0;

      this.label1.Text = "Something";

    }

  }

}

[/CODE]

So the selectButton works.

But I can't see my label1. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to register this label in my xml-File (somethingKategorien.xml)? Something else?

 in advance!
