Hi,
well I'm just another newbie searching for help with a basic problem. Unfortunately the basic tutorial does not give me a solution for it.

I'm trying to make a window plugin. If I press on a certain button I want that a new site is displayed or rather another xml-file is used.

I've tried it in the following ways:
- I used in the xml-file(id= 0815) in a control the following tag: <hyperlink>1234</hyperlink> 1234 is the id of the other xml-file which should appear.
- in C#: GUIWindowManager.GetWindow(1234);
GUIWindowManager.ActivateWindow(1234);

This methods work when I am using an ID which already exists such as the one from MyRadio or what else but not with my new one.

How can I "register" new xml-Files??
I found out that when I am making a new plugin doing nothing but having the same id 1234 it works if it is activated. But I do not want to have for example 10 useless plugins in the media portal menu when i need to display 10 different pages in the one usefull plugin.

So what is the professional and right way to include and use different xml-Files so that I am able to switch between the pages with a simple button click??

I am looking forward to hearing from somebody soon.
Many thanks in advance.

kind regards Naty
