[QUOTE="Pog, post: 1005750, member: 97724"] [B]Problem:[/B] Many if not all skins today use a hidden / slide menu for extra functions. When a user wishes to exit one of these menus they must use up/down/left/right depending on the layout the skin has used. Often it is desirable and logical to be able to close a menu using the ESC / BACK button. All the dialog style menus work this way but hidden / slide menus do not as ESC is not usable by the skin designer. [B] Proposal:[/B] Add a skin control <onEsc> that is functionally equivalent to <onLeft> <onRight> <onUp> <onDown>. This can be optionally added to controls by the skin designer without changing or breaking current functionality. [B]Control Example:[/B] [COLOR=#808080]<control>[/COLOR] [COLOR=#808080]<description>Menu button</description>[/COLOR] [COLOR=#808080]<type>button</type>[/COLOR] [COLOR=#808080]<id>2</id>[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]<onEsc>50</onEsc>[/COLOR] [COLOR=#808080]<onLeft>50</onLeft>[/COLOR] [COLOR=#808080]<onRight>50</onRight>[/COLOR] [COLOR=#808080]<onUp>1</onUp>[/COLOR] [COLOR=#808080]<onDown>3</onDown>[/COLOR] [COLOR=#808080]</control>[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
