NPVR NewStyleButtonListPlugin request

Would it be possible to get an Initialise(UiList.ViewMode viewMode) override so that the list does not have to be populated twice if you want to start in ViewMode.COVERS? Or is there a better way to do this?

Code:

protected override void Initialise()
{
    base.Initialise(); // PopulateList called here.
    uiList.SetViewMode(UiList.ViewMode.COVERS);
    PopulateList(); // refresh list after changing viewmode.
}

Its not cleaner, but you could save yourselve a few cycles by doing something like the follow. It may help if its CPU or Disk intenstive to load the contents of your list.

Code:

protected override void Initialise()
{
    base.Initialise(); // PopulateList called here.

    List<UiList.ListObject> objects = uiList.GetListObjects();
    uiList.SetViewMode(UiList.ViewMode.COVERS);
    uiList.SetListObjects(objects)
}

I could add a variable like 'base.initialListView' which you can set prior to calling "base.Initialise();"

Good point. I don't actually need to populate it in PopulateList do I.

I'm good now so only add it if you want to do so.

On to my next question:

Is there any way to update a single item in uiList's ListObjects without having to update the entire list?

Sure, you can call 'List<UiList.ListObject> objects = uiList.GetListObjects();' and do something with one of those items (and not have to call SetListObjects() again). Next renderer will pickup that change.

I was attempting that in the but I couldn't get it to work in getrenderlist() before calling base.GetRenderList but it didn't work. It does seem to be working in the onKeyDown though.
