SkinSetting for color? (1 Viewer)

[mbuzina]

Another question for debugging: Is there a way to find the id of the currently focused control and display that in a label?

Proper use could be: <visible>skin.hassetting(#skin.ShowTouchControls,True)</visible> or <visible>skin.hassetting(#skin.ShowTouchControls,False)</visible> or <visible>!skin.hassetting(#skin.ShowTouchControls,True)</visible>
If you ommit the true/false and only leave the comma, it´s reversed

According to wiki & code hassetting does not have a second parameter. I used just hassetting which returns the bool I entered into SkinSettings.xml.

Right now I am battling focus ;-)

OK, now I am really playing. I want to programmatically move the focus, we can do this because of skin.setfocus. There is a but though: it does not work correctly if executed on <onfocus>. The focus in that case is "halved". The original button stays in focus, while the new button is also a bit in focus (both show their focus colors, the old one still has control, its onleft/right/etc methods are executed). Sample screenshots:

Only problems today...

I try to use a comparison to decide if a control is visible.
* I have 10 skin settings, each named #BasicHome.Bx.Overlay.WW (x is 0-9). It contains either r0, r1, r2 or r3.
* I have a skin setting name #BasicHome.Current.ID which is from 0-12
* I want to hide a control if the correct numbered Overlay.WW setting is r0 or the number is 10,11 or 12. What I did is:

<label>#(neq('r0',choose(cint(#BasicHome.Current.ID),#BasicHome.B0.Overlay.WW,#BasicHome.B1.Overlay.WW,#BasicHome.B2.Overlay.WW,#BasicHome.B3.Overlay.WW,#BasicHome.B4.Overlay.WW,#BasicHome.B5.Overlay.WW,#BasicHome.B6.Overlay.WW,#BasicHome.B7.Overlay.WW,#BasicHome.B8.Overlay.WW,#BasicHome.B9.Overlay.WW,'r0','r0','r0')))</label>

And yes, this works great!!! The label shows False if the corresponding overlay setting contains r0 and True for everything else.

And now comes the problem: I can not use this as a visibility constraint. I tried using it as is. I tried using string.equals instead of eq. I tried setting a text to a label if true and use control.hastext (that one seems broken no matter how I try). I tried with # in front and without.

I am frustrated

Other things that did not work today:
-> Moving Focus from onfocus handler
-> Setting the Action of a button using a SkinSetting (succeeded in hanging/crashing MP with this)
-> Setting onleft/onright/... using a SkinSetting

So I guess I have to stop here for now.

I am getting desperate, digging into the code of guilib ;-)

I found something strange, why is false not recognized as a false value:

	private static object ConvertXmlStringToObject(string valueName, string valueText, Type type)
	{
	  if (type == typeof (bool))
	  {
		if (string.Compare(valueText, "off", true) == 0 ||
			string.Compare(valueText, "no", true) == 0 ||
			string.Compare(valueText, "disabled", true) == 0)
		{
		  return false;
		}
 
 
		return true;
	  }

With this snippet of code, false translates to true
