Static List Content

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 used on the home page for instance. You can use <defaultcontrol [always="true"]>id</defaultcontrol> to control which item in the list gets focused by default.

Example

<content>
  <item id="1">
    <label>My First Item</label>
    <label2>Label 2</label2>
    <icon>icon1.png</icon>
    <thumb>thumb1.png</thumb>
    <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos)</onclick>
    <visible>true</visible>
    <property name="foo">Some1stValueHere</property>
    <property name="foo2">Some2ndValueHere</property>
  </item>
  <item id="2">
    <label>My Second Item</label>
    <label2>Label 2</label2>
    <icon>icon2.png</icon>
    <thumb>thumb2.png</thumb>
    <onclick>ActivateWindow(Music)</onclick>
    <property name="foo">Some1stValueHere</property>
    <property name="foo2">Some2ndValueHere</property>
  </item>
</content>

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.

Tag	Description
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.
