[Approved] New feature for listcontrol - textcontent3 (1 Viewer)

[Migue]

Usually, the third label in a listcontrol is unused except for showing TV logos. This patch allows skin creators to use the third label in other windows to display additional content.

The new attributes are <textcontent3> and <textalign3>.

The usage of textcontent3 is as follows:

<textcontent3>#property</textcontent3>

Where #property can be one of these values:

• #selectedindex
• #selecteditem
• #selecteditem2
• #rating
• #duration
• #shortduration
• #dvdlabel
• #year

The first screenshot shows My Videos in Shares View with textcontent3 showing the #selectedindex property.

The second screenshot shows My Videos in Titles View sorted by year with textcontent3 showing the #shortduration property.

Sorry but no place for new features/changes in skin engine. Will consider it to after 1.1.0

Hi Migue,

a quick review of the patch and all seems fine.
Just some minor things to fix:

• "switch (textContent)" should be "switch (textContent.ToLowerInvariant())"
• "" should be String.Empty
• xxx != "" should be !String.IsNullOrEmpty(xxx)

As we are so lazy, please update the patch, retest and atatch it to the first post so we can commit

Looking at the patch, I can see that it can also be set with #selectedthumb (item.ThumbnailImage). Would this allow for, say recordedTV, to show the actual thumbnail? Not the channel-logo, but the thumbnail created from the recording?

That would be übercool
