Is it possible to access a widget on the system page via Prontoscript?
I'd like to change the label of a panel that's located on the system page...

Thanks!
Christian

Hi Christian,
considering that the system page is not visible during Pronto runtime, I'm wondering what sort of panels you've got on your system activity and what they are being used for? You can rename and mess with all sorts of stuff on the Home Activity, but I haven't seen any page or activity reference for System Activity items in Prontoscript. I don't think that the System activity has been coded with any default tags by Philips that you can reference.

PS: If you start changing labels on the home activity / primary page: be careful as some changes can cause the pronto to get rather upset and freeze on you. Mostly due to bad Prontoscript coding....

Regards // Jason

The system activity and page can both be referenced as "PS_SYSTEM".

You can change the label of a system panel within an activity, but when you jump to another activity, the label will revert to the original value coded at the system.

If you had a system panel named "Test_Panel", you could change it with the following:
CF.widget("Test_Panel"."PS_SYSTEM","PS_SYSTEM").label = "XYZ" ;

Thank you guys!

I've implemented a Library that includes a (device specific) command queue for all infrared commands. So, if you like to send an IR command (perhaps with a delay), you can queue up the command and the Pronto will send the IR codes one-by-one in background without blocking the Pronto GUI.

I would like to add a status panel to every page that shows the status of the queue (i.e. how many command are waiting in the queue). At the moment, I've added the panel manually to every page, but I thought it would be easier to add it to the System Page so that it appears automatically on every "normal" page.

That was the reason of my question...

I will follow Jon's suggestion and try it with:
CF.widget("Test_Panel"."PS_SYSTEM","PS_SYSTEM").label = "XYZ";
