The Media Center Sandbox

Hey.

At First:

I have an scrollable Repeater which is filled with values from an C# ArrayListDataSet, an Editbox and a Button.
The Strings you write in the Editbox will fill in the Array when you click the Button (and then Displayed on the Scollabla Repeater).
It scrolls automatic when the Sources changed (Invoke with NavigateIntoIndex).

So far. The Scrollable Repeater gets the Focus. I will give back the Focus to the EditableText (EditBox), but the invoke NavigateInto does not work (I have test it also with an Timer).

I have invoked it also at the Binding after the NavigateIntoIndex.

<Binding Source="[App.Prop]" Target="[ListRepeater.Source]">
        <Actions>
          <Invoke Target="[ListRepeater.NavigateIntoIndex]" index="[xxx]"/>
          <Invoke Target="[EditBox.NavigateInto]" />
          </Actions>
      </Binding>

Any Suggestions?

thanks, tronic

This sort of thing is very difficult, although normally a timer solution should work - perhaps you just need to increase the 'interval' of your timer?

The other thing to look into is the different types of Invoke command - if you check the SDK, you'll find that there are different values for InvokePolicy ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb189231.aspx ).

Try making the FIRST Invoke 'Synchronous', which means that it should try to actually run through the Focus event before it moves on to the next one. Make the last one low priority. But you will get varying results no matter what you do - the fact that Media Center doesn't buffer navigation events but allows them to override each-other is one of the most difficult things I've had to work around so far (there's a particular page in EMUCenter that STILL doesn't do it right!)

Hey

I tested it with an Timer Solution too, but it doesn't work.


<Changed Source="[FocusTimer.Tick]">
        <Actions>
          <Invoke Target="[Input.NavigateInto]"/>
        </Actions>
      </Changed>


Errormessage:

Error building instance path 'Input.NavigateInto'. (Unable to locate a member called "NavigateInto" on 'Input' that is a Property, Indexer, Method, or Event. (Path provided was 'Input.NavigateInto').)   


This Timer is in my EditBox.mcml.

I thought it works with Input.NavigateInto, but I stand corrected.

regards, tronic

It works now :).

damn, I am happy.

The answer:

I have put a <Panel Name="EditBox"> around my Editbox.....
Only this way [EditBox.Navigateinto] will work with the Timer.
This Way not: <me:EditBox Name="EditBox" .../>

...I am Happy :)

Thank you ignoranceIsBliss
