GuiControlsDemo - Showing available GUI controls (1 Viewer)

[DieBagger]

Hi guys,

I recently updated a few wiki pages and since I only had a limited understanding of the skinning engine and available controls I wrote a small plugin where I could put all the controls to figure out how to use them. Since there is only very little information on the wiki I had to get most infos from different plugins/skins or the MP source I decided to publish the plugin (source included) so in the future the info can be found in one place. In the current version, the following controls are implemented:

• GUIButtonControl (button)
• GUIButton3PartControl (button3part)
• GUICheckButton (checkbutton)
• GUIFacadeControl (facadeview)
• GUIFadeLabel (fadelabel)
• GUIFilmstripControl (filmstrip)
• GUIGroup (group)
• GUIImage (image)
• GUIImageList (imagelist)
• GUIListControl (listcontrol)
• GUIPlayListItemListControl (playlistcontrol)
• GUIPlayListButtonControl (playlistbutton)
• GUIProgressControl (progress)
• GUISelectButtonControl (selectbutton)
• GuiSliderControl (slider) (int & float)
• GUISMSInputControl (smsinput)
• GUISortButtonControl (sortbutton)
• GUISpinButton (spinbutton)
• GUISpinControl (spincontrol)
• GUIStatusbarControl (statusbar) (see GuiProgressControl)
• GUITextControl (textbox)
• GUITextScrollUpControl (textboxscrollup)
• GUIThumbnailPanel (thumbnailpanel)
• GUIToggleButtonControl (togglebutton)
• GUITVProgressControl (tvprogress)
• GUIUpDownButton (updownbutton)
• GUIUpDownListControl (updownlistcontrol)

There is more info in the wiki:
MediaPortal1_Development/SkinArchitecture - MediaPortal Manual Documentation and
GuiControlsDemo - MediaPortal Manual Documentation



A few things I couldn't figure out on my own, maybe someone can help out

• GUIPlayListItemListControl: How can I configure the playlist control so that the up/down buttons stays selected after an item is moved up/down (see here)
• GUIButton3PartControl: See here for my problem

You can download the plugin in the repository.

Great idea

DieBagger,

I have a facade view containing a ListControl, ThumbnailPanel and a FilmStrip. When using ThumbnailPanel or FilmStrip, it seems that the image that is put onto each item is not 'scaled' to fit the ListItem.

Can you offer any assistance as to what I need to do to rectify it? Perhaps a missing entry or 2 in the skin file? Or is there a .scalemode type property that I am overlooking?

Thanks in advance,
Jason

EDIT:
I take that back, in GUIFacadeControl.ViewMode.SmallIcons it is scaling the image to the size of the control, but it is not in GUIFacadeControl.ViewMode.Filmstrip.

You dont seem to have a list control (GUIListControl). The demo say it has one but i cant find it. I am looking to make a simple list of items.

Hi all,
where can I get plugin source code?
The rar contains binaries only...
I already searched MP trunk repository, no success...
Thanks, for help

 

[DieBagger]

I added an updated version of the sourcecode to the first post...

Any update? It is not compatible with MP 1.3

Hi DieBagger. I know it's an old thread but any chance you could update this plugin for MP 1.3 RC please?

Cheers
