| class="usercell" | Specifies the control's id. The value this takes depends on the control type, and the window that you are using the control on. There are special control id's that must be present in each window. The progress control's id should be unique, except where the <info> tag is used to fill the contents.

This should be the path to the image file from the media/ folder of your skin directory. XBMC will first look inside the compresses Textures.xpr file, and if not found, will look inside the media/ folder for the actual skin file. Compressing textures into Textures.xpr means far faster loading times.

The progress control is used to show the progress of an item that may take a long time, or to show how far through a movie you are. You can choose the position, size, and look of the progress control.

Example

<xml> <control type="progress" id="12">

     <description>My first progress control</description>
     <posx>80</posx>
     <posy>60</posy>
     <width>250</width>
     <height>30</height>
     <visible>true</visible>
     <texturebg>mybackgroundtexture.png</texturebg>
     <textureleft>mydowntexture.png</textureleft>
     <texturemid>mymidtexture.png</texturemid>
     <textureright>myrighttexture.png</textureright>
     <textureoverlay>myoverlaytexture.png</textureoverlay>
     <info></info>

</control> </xml>

Available Tags

In addition to the Default Control Tags the following tags are available. Note that each tag is lower case only. This is important, as xml tags are case-sensitive.

texturebg

Specifies the image file which should be displayed in the background of the progress control. See here for additional information about textures.

textureleft Specifies the image file which should be displayed for the left side of the progress bar. This is rendered on the left side of the bar.
texturemid Specifies the image file which should be displayed for the middle portion of the progress bar. This is the “fill” texture used to fill up the bar. It's positioned on the right of the <textureleft> texture, and fills the gap between the <textureleft> and <textureright> textures, depending on how far progressed the item is.
textureright Specifies the image file which should be displayed for the right side of the progress bar. This is rendered on the right side of the bar.
textureoverlay Specifies the image file which should be displayed over the top of all other images in the progress bar. It is centered vertically and horizontally within the space taken up by the background image.
info

Specifies the information that the progress bar is reporting on. See here for more information.
