[QUOTE="coolio, post: 343405, member: 76902"] Hi to everyone, I have been developing a plugin for mediaportal and it seems to work rather well. I have tralled through the forums and the source code and yet I cannot work out how to create my own overlay. I would like my plugin to pop on top of for example the TV Plugin. Currently I can press a button and my plugin pops up with the tv in a small box(bottom left). I press back and it's maximised again. Close to my desired effect but I really want it to work like the TVGuide. I have studied the TVGuide source as well as topbar. I thought these would lead me to my answer but it is eluding me. Currently I am using. // activate this window... GUIMessage msg = new GUIMessage(GUIMessage.MessageType.GUI_MSG_WINDOW_INIT, MYGUID, 0, 0, -1, 0, null); OnMessage(msg); I don't think that my solution is a one liner but if anyone can assist me with this I would very much appreciate it. Even if its to tell me it's not feasible. Another pathetic attempt.. GUIOverlayWindow MyOverlay = (GUIOverlayWindow)GUIWindowManager.GetWindow(10324); if (MyOverlay != null) { MyOverlay.Focused = true; } MyOverlay.LoadSkin(); MyOverlay.Init(); MyOverlay.Focus(); MyOverlay.Render(10324); Regards [/QUOTE]
