CommonGBPVRUtilities.UiUtilities.getBoxSettings Settings

[psycik]

Hi
Using this DLL, this method seems to return most of the values from the

Code:

<SpecialElement name="Buttons" loc="15,90" size="160,38" spacing="38" alwayCentered="false" maxVisibleButtons="7" allowTopBottomWrap="false" showNumbers="false"/>

entry in the skin.xml. Ive noticed, however, that it doesn't return the maxVisibleButtons value though.

I'm running version 1.2.2046.32553 of CommonGBPVRUtilities

I can add this, but this would not be a backwards compatible change since I would have to add new fields to the structure being returned. Are there other things you would like it to return as well (for example it doesn;t parse the alwaysCenter item either). If I am going to make a chnage like this I'd like to add everything at once.

I thought this was already in there, and I just wasn't doing something right. Those entries are in some sample skin code somewhere.

The maxVisible would be handy since the getBoxSettings already returns some nice usefull information from the skin.xml file.

I can't think of any others.

Okay; I've added it. It also turns out that this is backwards compatible since the data structure comes from the DLL as well. I just tested it against the weather, video archive, and music player plug-ins and it worked just fine.

Have you posted it back to the wiki?

Not yet. I have a number of updates I need to post. Hopefully I will have some free time this weekend to do so.
