Hi...!
I'm developing a plugin for MP, the Tellstick Pause 2.0. It's a plugin to control wireless receivers around the house (lights, appliances, etc).
Basically the GUI of this plugin consists of user supplied images of devices in one row, where the user can go left-and-right between devices. This is currently filmstrip component.
Question #1: Is that the best kind of component for what I'm doing here?
To change the state of a device (ie. to turn on/off the lights) it currently works through a context menu.
I want to change this behavior to make it more graphically appealing - what I want to do is to create another row of images under the current one, where each device will have two images under it for my two states - On and Off (or some scrollbar if the device supports dimming).
Question #2: Should that be implemented using a second filmstrip or through one of the image container components? I'm asking this question from a programming point of view and from a designing point of view (what would be the more aesthetic solution here?).
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...
