Good evening,

I have a basic understanding of using skin.setstring and am able to set a skin property when a control gets focus. My problem is updating the setting when moving between items within a listcontrol. The code I have below only works when the listcontrol first gets focus, not when I move to a different list item within the control.

Can anyone suggest a different event (other than onfocus) or suggest a work-around for me? This is the problem code:

<control>
<description>group element</description>
<type>group</type>

<control>
<description>composite control</description>
<type>facadeview</type>
<id>50</id>

<control>
<description>listcontrol</description>
<type>listcontrol</type>
<onfocus>#(skin.setstring('keep.thumb',#selectedthumb))</onfocus>
.
.
.
<control>
.
.
etc

I am trying to pass the file location of the previously selected thumb when moving to a new window.

Many thanks
RH
