    First of all, can anyone tell me why we need spincontrols (those up/down arrows on most lists/thumbnail panels and filmstrip views) when you can use the channel up/down keys on a remote or page up/down on a keyboard to do the same thing more easily?

    Secondly, I have read many posts asking how to disable them and some say they can only be disabled in list controls but not in thumbnail panels or filmstrips?

    I tried adding <spinCanFocus>no</spinCanFocus> and moving the spin controls off the page and it seems to work in thumbnail and filmstrip views but maybe I am missing something, or maybe this has changed in the MP code?

    We would like to disable them throughout the aMPed 4:3 skin, but before we do, we just wanted to check if we would be screwing up something for users.

    So any comments would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi Dadeo,

    yes, <spinCanFocus>no</spinCanFocus> works nearly everywhere. In my new skin (WIP) i have successful disabled the anoying spincontrol. Only in a few Textboxes it doesnt seem to work.
