[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1295869, member: 141969"] I think that the problem here is that a listcontrol is regarded as a single entity by the skin engine, even though it may contain multiple lines in a textual list, or multiple thumbnails in a thumbnail view. So [b]onfocus[/b] is executed only when the listcontrol receives the focus, and not when the user moves between items in the list. The variable [b]#selectedthumb[/b] contains the identity of the current thumbnail, but can the value be inherited by the window that is displayed next? Does that variable still have a value when the next window is displayed, or is the variable reset to the null string? I don't know. You would need to experiment.
