[fixed] Text box does not support null string (1 Viewer)

[Smeulf]

Someone have implemented a new property for Video informations : VideoStoryPlot

It's a nice to have, but in CurrentPlayingDVD.xaml, this filed is mapped into a TextBox, and it seems a TextBox can't have a null text.

So if I want to display the infos of my current movie, and if there's nothing into the DB/File for that, then the client crash.

More precisely, it fails in FontAssetCore.cs at line 118 because text is null.

    public float TextWidth(string text, float fontSize, bool kerning)
    {
      return PartialTextWidth(text, 0, text.Length - 1, fontSize, kerning) + CharWidthExtension(text, text.Length - 1, fontSize);
    }

So, or the problem is in the skin engine and maybe it must not try to show a TextBox for a null text, or it's in the player.cs that must return an empty string in this case. But in the case of an empty string, it creates a not so nice empty white box...

Cheers.

Ok fixed this morning.

Question : why not to use a Label with Wrap="True" and Scroll="Auto" parameters instead, like for the field description in SlimTV current program informations ?

'Cause I persist, this white box is not nice in this case, and it can be edited, without saving possibilities.

Cheers.

AW: Text box does not support null string

Ask morpheus... I don't use any TV code here, so I don't know anything about SlimTV.
