a uiList question

[idkpmiller]

toying with the viewmodes offered by uiList for me to be able to make good use of them I need to be able to return the name of the selected item, I am sure this is easy but it seems to escape me at the moment.

Any clues appreciated

Thanks

There is no name as such. You can call uiList.GetSelectedItem(), which returns an object of type UiList.Item or UiList.Container. Once you cast to one of these, you can get the hashtable of args or parameters that were used to create that item. You can then get whatever parameter you're interested in (@name).

Example from the dvbt radio plugin...

Code:

object o = uiList.getSelectedItem();
if (o is UiList.Item)
{
    string ChannelName;
    Bitmap ChannelLogo;

    ChannelName = (o as UiList.Item).properties["@channelName"].ToString();
    ChannelLogo = (Bitmap)(o as UiList.Item).properties["@channelLogo"];
    ...
}

Cheers,
