[QUOTE="fripsy, post: 683170, member: 85604"] Hi All, I'm pulling my hair out with this one! I have this declared: [code] [SkinControlAttribute(201)] protected GUIButtonControl btnStatus = null; [/code]When I use in my code: [code] btnStatus.Label = "Test"; [/code]I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" in the Mediaportal.log I'm sure this has worked before, the only change I can remember is the upgrade from MP1.1.0 to 1.1.1... I think... This means that "btnStatus" is null at the moment I try to use it, which makes sense as I can't find where it gets binded with the GUIButton with id 201. Should MP bind this for me at the start of my plugin or do I have to do this myself? If I have to bind it myself, how do I do that? On another thread I found this [code] [SkinControlAttribute(1)] protected GUILabelControl lblText = (GUILabelControl)GetControl(1); [/code]But this gives me "Error 1 An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIWindow.GetControl(int)'" in Visual C Express... Could someone enlighten me on this one? Thanks, Fripsy. [/QUOTE]
