Display an image thats file name is contained in a variable

Anyone know of a way to display an image with a variable?

This was my thought's, but it didn't work:

IMG,13,187,55,60,"$icon01$",

I set the image in a variable in the exectbl.ini, and :ran the code" to test it.

I tried this:
"SetIcons","SetVar;Icon01;=dvd.jpg"

and this:
"SetIcons","SetVar;Icon01;dvd.jpg"

both with no luck....

On another note, if there is a way to make this work, will the image change when the variable is changed/updated? Or will a reloadskin or something be needed.... I hope to not have to use reload the skin!

I can add support for that to work.. but if you change the variable, you'd have to reload the at least the screen.

Unsure if this would cut if for you, but you CAN ALREADY do something like this:

I01,13,187,55,60,"FILE;$icon01$"

then use commands like:

"SETVAR;incon01;$skinpath$dvd.jpg"

This would change on the fly without even needing to reload anything.

Maybe add a "REFRESHSCR" command that would just reload/refresh the current screen?

Just thinking out loud...

LOADIMG and LDIMG can load variables.

That's the purpose of it. I was just thinking in terms of accomplishing what he seemed to want (changing an image by just setting a variable)..

A combination of a TIMER and LOADIMG/LDIMG command that is dependent on a variable will also work. At least, that's how I did it w/ my non-standard picviewer skin.

However, I do like what you suggested. It's clean cut and you don't have to load a "blank" image prior to loading a new image in the same location. I'm gonna have to try out your commands next chance I get.

Wow, that's thinking outside the box! :) I didn't even consider the timer event as an option.

Thanks again Guino! That should work nicely!

Awesome! That worked beatifully.

My icon viewer has a more picviewer functionality to it AND it maintains the pics aspect ratio (I've been messing w/ that aspect for awhile now).

I've got a question, but first here's the skin layout:

...and the skin's code:

Whenever the UP/DOWN/PGUP/PGDOWN buttons are used, it updates the image "I01" just fine. However, if I select an image straight out of the DL list not using the buttons, it won't update.

The TMR event that I commented out has this line in the skin's ExecTBL.ini:

Code:

"TIMER","SETVARBYCODE;imgfilename;LISTTEXT",LOGO_CONFIG_LOGOVIEWER.skin .

I tried to use TMR to update the image variable, which it does, but for some reason, the pic does not maintain it's aspect ratio after it fires.

Any other ideas to get around this issue? Thanks to you, I'm that much closer to cleaning up the functionality of this skin.

:peace:

EDIT: Nevermind! I editted the wrong TIMER entry in the ExecTBL.ini and it was still loading images using LOADIMG. Corrected the code and all is well.

You can also use the ONDLCLICK event of that screen to set the variable if you want.
