Spin Control

The spin control is used for when a list of options can be chosen (such as a page up/down control). You can choose the position, size, and look of the spin control.

Example

<xml> <control>

     <description>My first spin control</description>
     <type>spincontrol</type>
     <id>1</id>
     <posx>80</posx>
     <posy>60</posy>
     <width>250</width>
     <height>200</height>
     <visible>true</visible>
     <colordiffuse>FFFFFFFF</colordiffuse>
     <textureup>myuptexture.png</textureup>
     <textureupfocus>myupfocustexture.png</textureupfocus>
     <texturedown>mydowntexture.png</texturedown>
     <texturedownfocus>mydownfocustexture.png</texturedownfocus>
     <subtype>int</subtype>
     <range>0,50,5</range>

Available Tags

Note that each tag is lower case only. This is important, as xml tags are case-sensitive.

description	Only used to make things clear for the skinner. Not read by XBMC at all.
type	Should be spincontrol for a spin control.
id	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. As the contents of the control is filled and controlled by XBMC, a spincontrol's id is unique.
posx	Specifies where the left edge of the down button of the spin control should be drawn. If <align> is set to “left”, then this specifies where the label is drawn, and the down button is positioned 5 pixels after the label finishes. This is offset from the window's coordinates (normally the left edge of the screen, or 0).
posy	Specifies where the top edge of the down button of the spin control should be drawn. This is offset from the window's coordinates (normally the top edge of the screen, or 0).
width	Specifies the width of the up and down buttons. The texture images for the up and down buttons will be resized to fit into this width.
height	Specifies the height of the up and down buttons. The texture images for the up and down buttons will be resized to fit into this height.
visible	Specifies a condition as to when this control will be visible. Can be true, false, or a condition. See here for more information. Defaults to true.
animation	Specifies the animation to be run when the control enters a particular state. See here for more information.
textureup	Specifies the image file which should be displayed for the up arrow when it doesn't have focus. You can use animated gif's, jpgs, pngs, or bmps. 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.
textureupfocus	Specifies the image file which should be displayed for the up button when it has focus.
texturedown	Specifies the image file which should be displayed for the down button when it is not focused.
texturedownfocus	Specifies the image file which should be displayed for the down button when it has focus.
colordiffuse	This specifies the color to be used for the texture basis. It's in hex AARRGGBB format. If you define <colordiffuse>FFFF00FF</colordiffuse> (magenta), the image will be given a magenta tint when rendered. Defaults to FFFFFFFF (no tint).
font	Font used for the button label. From fonts.xml.
textcolor	Color used for displaying the label. In AARRGGBB hex format.
disabledcolor	Color used for the label if the control is disabled.
shadowcolor	Specifies the color of the drop shadow on the text, in AARRGGBB format.
subtype	Defines what type of information the spinner holds. Can be int, float or text. Defaults to text.
reverse	Whether the spin buttons should work forwards or backwards. If true, the “up” button will increment the value. If false, the “down” button increments the value. Defaults to false.
range	Only valid if <subtype> is int or float. Format is min,max,interval. eg <range>0,50,5</range> will fill the spin control with 0, 5, 10, ..., 45, 50 as values.
align	Label horizontal alignment on the control. Defaults to right, can also be left.
aligny	Label vertical alignment on the control. Defaults to top, can also be center.
textoffsetx	Amount to offset the label from the left (or right) edge of the button when using left or right alignment.
textoffsety	Amount to offset the label from the top edge of the button when using top alignment.
pulseonselect	Specifies whether the button should pulse when it's selected. Defaults to true.
onup	Control id to move to when the user moves up off this control.
ondown	Control id to move to when the user moves down off this control.
onleft	Control id to move to when the user moves left off this control.
onright	Control id to move to when the user moves right off this control.
