Container controls (the List Container, Fixed List Container, Wrap List Container, and Panel Container) can be setup by the skinner with some predefined static content. This is done by including the <content> tag in the control. This allows skinners to have lists (or panels) of buttons wherever they want in the skin. The content below could be made separate in a different file for user editting, allowing users to have control over what goes on their home page for instance.

Example

<xml> <content>

 <item id="1">
   <label>My First Item</label>
   <label2>Item 1, Label 2</label2>
   <icon>icon1.png</icon>
   <thumb>thumb1.png</thumb>
   <onclick>ActivateWindow(Home)</onclick>
   <visible>true</visible>
 </item>
 <item id="2">
   <label>My Second Item</label>
   <label2>Item 2, Label 2</label2>
   <icon>icon2.png</icon>
   <thumb>thumb2.png</thumb>
   <onclick>ActivateWindow(MyMusicLibrary)</onclick>
 </item>

</content> </xml>

Available tags

The available XML tags for each item are as follows. Note that, as always, they're lower-case only, as XML is case-sensitive.

id The id of the item. Useful for external visibility conditions such as Container.HasFocus(3).
label The main label of the item. You can reference this within the <itemlayout> of the list via ListItem.Label.
label2 The secondary label of the item. You can reference this within the <itemlayout> of the list via ListItem.Label2.
icon The icon of the item. You can reference this within the <itemlayout> of the list via ListItem.Icon, or ListItem.ActualIcon.
thumb The thumbnail image of the item. You can reference this within the <itemlayout> of the list via ListItem.Thumb.
onclick The action to be performed when this item is clicked. Should be a built in function. See here for more information.
visible Specifies a condition as to when this item will be visible within the container. Can be true, false, or a condition. See here for more information. Defaults to true.
