Hello,

I am currently developing my first plugin for MP (a PDF ebook reader). I have read the "how to develop your first plugin" but that doesn't seem to help with this. I am trying to add a list control to my GUI which will load all the names of the ebooks into it - a similar layout to the my music plugin.

At the moment I am just trying to add an item to the list but it just doesn't show!

I'm initialising the list control with the following -
[code][SkinControlAttribute(21)]
protected GUIListControl lstEbooks = null;[/code]

Then trying to add an item to it with the following -
[code]lstEbooks.Add(new GUIListItem("A new item!"));[/code]

This the part in my XML file that declares the facade view (borrowed this from the My Music plugin) -
[code] <control>
<type>group</type>
<description>group element</description>
<animation>FlyInFromTop</animation>
<posX>120</posX>
<posY>97</posY>
<width>50</width>
<height>60</height>
<control>
<description>composite control consisting of a list control and a thumbnail panel</description>
<type>facadeview</type>
<id>20</id>
<control>
<description>listcontrol</description>
<type>listcontrol</type>
<id>21</id>
<width>50</width>
<height>60</height>
<onleft>2</onleft>
<onright>51</onright>
<onup>2</onup>
<ondown>2</ondown>
<textcolor>FFFFFFFF</textcolor>
</control>
<control>
<description>Thumbnail Panel</description>
<type>thumbnailpanel</type>
<id>22</id>
<onleft>2</onleft>
<onright>52</onright>
<onup>2</onup>
<ondown>2</ondown>
</control>
</control>[/code]

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
JestriK
