Inputdevice Manager for MP2 (2 Viewers)

Sounds good. What about the clear button in the last column. The current butten is not working. I only left it so you could see how to use it.

Ah, right. I realized it's not working yet at the moment. I also wanted to add a "back" button and place both in the bottom next to each other.
I'm also thinking to animate the countdown timer, when a key was pressed.

Important is to have some tester with "special remotes" etc. to see everything is also functionally fine.

The command called by the clear button currently only works if a row is selected, so it would not work when placed at the bottom.

EDIT: What is the back button for? Is it not the same as escape?

Yes, it's for mouse users as help. Other plugins as e.g. emulators also offer it.

How can we call it then? In the dialoge it also won't work, because the key press to navigate to the clear button would be already recognized as mapping.

You mean a button (mapped to it's own command) in a column number 4 (after image, name and key mapping) would trigger the same command as the other columns?
I was thinking like the reimport button in the share overview screen. Is that not possible?

That should be possible, there would be many clear buttons though
I'm just not sure, if it can be handled with the current styles. Because every entry has already a button style. So there would be another button in a button and focus handling would be an issue. In the share overview the entries can not be focused, so the reimport button is the only one. I'll check, if we have another example I can refer to.

Not if they are only visible if there is a mapping. Unless you map all, but that would be a pretty big remote.

Ok. If we need changes in the model, just say so.

I need your advice. There is a list of keys with their mapping in a button style. See here and herehttps://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...ult/screens/ConfigScreenScreenMapping.inc#L15
When the button is selected the mapping can be changed. To clear the existing mapping a clear button should be shown when "KeyMap" is not empty.
I added a button behind the above button and there are two problems.

• The clear button is always visible. I tried with ReferenceToBoolConverter and EmptyStringtpFalseConverter referring to "KeyMap". See here.
• The clear button does only execute a clear command, when a list entry has focus. But once the clear button has focus, the list entry lost focus

Any idea how to solve it? A radio button would be not so nice, so perhaps there is something better

Guys when you're ready with this can you merge this branch to a temporary WIP2.2 for me to test it, or eventually give me the patch files to change on my WIP? I'm currently using build 199.
I can't test it separately because the computer where I use this with FLIRC is my main server. Flirc is an IR to Keyboard emulator so I use the inputmanager shortcuts every day on my living room computer. I think that would be a good test target.

@Brownard,
Could you take a look and have an idea? I could not find a comparable style in MP2 and might need a model change.
Something that came to my mind. It could be also a list of 3 columns.

• First column contains radio buttons with the key names and mapped keys
• Second column contains a "change/add mapping" button (only visible, if the radio button is selected)
• 3rd column contains a "clear mapping" button

Before going in this direction would be good to know, if there is an more elegant solution.
