Set focus to list

[McBainUK]

I have a BaseButtonListUiTask based plugin. I'd like to programmatically set the focus to the list control when the user selects one of the buttons. Is this possible?

In your handle command function, put a base.OnKeyDown().

Code:

protected override void handleCommand(string command)
        {
            switch (command)
            {
               [B][color=seagreen] // We don't want to move focus to the list on this.[/color][/B]
                case "Main Menu":
                    base.handleCommand(command);
                    break;
                [B][color=SeaGreen]// After changing the view mode, we want to set focus back to the list.[/color][/B]
                case "Mode":
                    switch (uiList.getViewMode())
                    {
                        case UiList.ViewMode.MODE_FILMSTRIP:
                            uiList.setViewMode(UiList.ViewMode.MODE_LIST);
                            break;
                        case UiList.ViewMode.MODE_LIST:
                            uiList.setViewMode(UiList.ViewMode.MODE_DETAILS);
                            break;
                        case UiList.ViewMode.MODE_DETAILS:
                            uiList.setViewMode(UiList.ViewMode.MODE_ICON);
                            break;
                        case UiList.ViewMode.MODE_ICON:
                            uiList.setViewMode(UiList.ViewMode.MODE_FILMSTRIP);
                            break;
                    }
                   [color=Red][B] base.OnKeyDown(new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Right));[/B][/color]
                    break;
            }
            
        }

You should probably verify that the list has items first though.

[InVermont]

base.currentGroupSelection = ControlGroupSelection.Content;
base.uiList.suggestSelectionIndex(0);

should also work. I use the above so it won't matter if the UiList had focus already.

Ah yeah. I forgot about the currentgroupselection.
