Opening, closing the Media Library from a Maki script?

[blast7]

Yep, I'm gonna throw another one at you guys. This time I'm just trying to get a reference to the Media Library in my script so I can close/open/resize the window.

Since there is no XML file for the ML I dug around in the Wacs folder and found where all the media library's groupdefs are defined. However, no container was defined at that level. (So I don't know the ID to use in System.getContainer())

So I tried the following in a new XML file in my skins folder:


<container id="ml" name="Media Library" component="guid:{6B0EDF80-C9A5-11D3-9F26-00C04F39FFC6}" default_x="0" default_y="186" default_visible="1">
<layout id="normal">
</layout>
</container>

So that I would have an ID to use in System.getContainer(). Well, that didn't work.

Anyone have any ideas?

You can toggle the ML with a simple action and xml togglebutton.
action="toggle" param="guid:ml"
Hope it helps
BTW if you NEED to toggle it in maki, just get maki to .leftClick() the togglebutton if it is activated. Like this:-

code:


if (togglebuttonML.getActivated() == true){

togglebuttonML.leftClick();

}

or you could use

code:


togglebuttonML.setActivated(!togglebuttonML.getActivated);

i think that would work in showing it if it's hidden, or hiding it if it's closed, two birds, one stone

My line of code means you can choose which one, on or off, since setActivated doesn't always work for me.
A simplified version of your code:-

code:


togglebuttonML.leftClick();
