But I don't know what you're working on or anything, so this may be useless <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />First, a quick question:When I run it as a debug in VS2005 I can't use my keyboard arrow keys to navigate (works in normally installed version). Any idea why?In the version I got the search function appeared to be disabled (for the music section anyway). Not quite sure why but I decided to make my own. I sorted out the GUISMSInput control and combined it with a button to make a search control that turns into a textbox when you focus on it. you can enter a search term with keyboard or numpad/remote. (However this uses the given method of determining what you're using, which seems like quite a hack <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> ). Using the already existing methods it updates the search as you type, not sure how fast that would be on a large list. If you mouse away from the control it keeps the search, showing what you entered on the button. If you delete what you entered it goes back to the folder you were looking at previously.I've done a video of it here: <a href="http://wilco.34sp.com/mpsearchvid.html" target="_blank">http://wilco.34sp.com/mpsearchvid.html</a>(Potential) Bugs:The code for determining if you're using a remote (and thus to use SMS input mode) looks ropey. (if you only press keys 0-9 it assumes you're using a remote, not sure what happens if you press another key on the remote).I made a new layer section to draw the keypad onto to make sure its above the rest, as it seems you can only have 1 object drawing each layer? Potential bugs thereNeeds skinning <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Not sure how fast it is.If you'd think it would be useful I can put together the files I've used. I'm not a great coder (just a small hobby), tho I've tried to stick to the guidelines.</blockquote>
