Re: what's the correct way to do this?

I am not sure about correct or better but
they way I have usually seen it done is to put it into
the override of OnClicked and check the control.
(If you are changing code in an existing plugin the override is probably already there)

So after you add the button to the skin.xml file
something like the code below should work.

[code]
[SkinControlAttribute(5555)] protected GUIButtonControl btnRunMyProcessPlugin = null;

protected override void OnClicked(int controlId, GUIControl control, MediaPortal.GUI.Library.Action.ActionType actionType)
{
   base.OnClicked(controlId, control, actionType);

   if (control == btnSomeOtherButton)
   {
//
   }
   else if (control == btnRunMyProcessPlugin)
   {
// Insert code here
   }
}

[/code]
