The problem with using the controls in the skin (1 Viewer)

[d2Liks]

How to use in the MediaPortal in the skin listbox control?
How do I use to bind to the listview? These do not appear in it.

I don't understand your question.
To learn about data binding, you can read http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752347.aspx
To bind a ListView to underlaying data, you need a data model.
You can look into the screens of the default skin to see how we use the ListView. Look into the code of the referenced models to see how a model is written.

<Include.Resources>
<!-- Header -->
<Model x:Key="Model" Id="5726DA5A-70D5-458f-AF67-611293D97912"/>
<DockPanel Context="{Model Id=5726DA5A-70D5-458f-AF67-611293D97912}" LastChildFill="False">

<ListView Width="200" Height="300"
x:Name="Menu"
DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource Model}}"
ItemsSource="{Binding GetContacts}"
Style="{ThemeResource ContentsMenuListViewStyle}">

</ListView>

</DockPanel>
</ControlTemplate>

</Include.Resources>
</Include>

Hi, my problem is that accessor get function in GetContacts property works correctly but ListView still doesn't show anything. Where is the problem here?

Here is how implemented my property:

private ItemsList _listContacts=null;
public ItemsList GetContacts
{
get
{
return _listContacts;
}
set
{
if (_listContacts == value) return;
_listContacts = value;
OnPropertyChanged("GetContacts");
}
}

That seems well, as far as I can see.
One of Context/DataContext is obsolete in your example, they both assign the same data context and it is inherited to child elements.

Is the model you're using registered in the plugin.xml file?
Which items are in the ItemsList which is returned by GetContacts? Btw, you should name the property Contacts, not GetContacts.

Oh, I missed something: Your DockPanel doesn't contain a key. I guess you're using one of the templates master_bare or master_menu for your include. Depending on that template, you must assign an appropriate key to your DockPanel, see the description in the template screen you're using.

Could you give an example of adding rows to ListView (how to implement String property which is linked to itemsSource ListView). This property returns a list of simple strings.

I would like to ask few more questions.

How do I make property password in MediaPortal2 to keep data secret while entering the text into textBox like in WPF PasswordBox ?

How do I implement Visible property correctly? If I make property for texBox this way it will be ignored.

private AbstractProperty _registrContentVisibility;

public Plugin()
{
_registrContentVisibility = new WProperty(typeof(Visibility), null);
RegistrContentVisibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}

public AbstractProperty RegistrContentVisibilityProperty
{
get { return _registrContentVisibility; }
}

public Visibility RegistrContentVisibility
{
get { return (Visibility)_registrContentVisibility.GetValue(); }
set { _registrContentVisibility.SetValue(value); }
}


<TextBox Visibility="{Binding Path= RegistrContentVisibility , Mode=TwoWay}">
