Thread: How to get/set VAR in plugin?

To debug, I pre-defined the STATION in skin.ini : STATION=10

1) set a label code with "=$station$", the label display 10 which is correct
2) call SDK.getInfo("STATION") in plugin, but it returns ""

any wrong in my code?

yeah, it works now. Thanks a lot!

Where to find the document about the SDK? for example, it's methods and parameters.

Well, if you're defining station within the scope of New() or Initialize() it will not be available in Finalize(), you need to declare station in a global scope (i.e. first line of the class module) then grab/set the value of it with getinfo at any given time during the execution of the plugin (i.e. startup, initialize, etc). Just be sure to call execute with savetoskin BEFORE your plugin destroys the SDK object.

Hi guino, is there a good place to save the var just before RR shutdown? I don't want to savetoskin on every command. Puting code in Finalize() does not work. Seems that the SDK has been destroyed when calling Finalize().

it is a good way to save the value. thanks!
