Opening Windows and Dialogs
You can use the ActivateWindow() Built In Function to open a certain Window.
This command can be assigned to a button in a skin or mapped to a key in your Keymap.
Example:
- This will take you directly to the settings section of xbmc:
ActivateWindow(Settings)
Some windows even allow you to jump directly to a sub-section of that window.
Example:
- If you want a button in your skin or on your remote to take you directly to the movie listing, you let that button do:
ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles)
Below is a list of the available sub-sections in the Video- and MusicLibrary.
