SEARCH FUNCTIONALITY EXAMPLE?

Since the videoplayer example is pretty much completely XML data driven, you would need to add or hijack an XML tag (and a line to parse it) to define a search item, probably in categories.xml - for example <category title="Search"

Then you would modify the brightscript code to trigger a different behavior from the norm when that item is selected, for example to show a search screen and of course you will need to create a search function that will run the search.

For example something like the modified ShowHomeScreen function below (which looks for the word "Search" in the title of the currently selected item and if it finds it, should launch a search screen function):

Function showHomeScreen(screen) As Integer

    if validateParam(screen, "roPosterScreen", "showHomeScreen") = false return -1

    initCategoryList()
    screen.SetContentList(m.Categories.Kids)
    screen.SetFocusedListItem(3)
    screen.Show()

    while true
        msg = wait(0, screen.GetMessagePort())
        if type(msg) = "roPosterScreenEvent" then
            print "showHomeScreen | msg = "; msg.GetMessage() " | index = "; msg.GetIndex()
            if msg.isListFocused() then
                print "list focused | index = "; msg.GetIndex(); " | category = "; m.curCategory
            else if msg.isListItemSelected() then
                if m.categories.kids[msg.getindex()].title="Search" then 
                                ShowMySearchScreen()
                else
                                print "list item selected | index = "; msg.GetIndex()
                                kid = m.Categories.Kids[msg.GetIndex()]
                                if kid.type = "special_category" then
                                    displaySpecialCategoryScreen()
                                else
                                    displayCategoryPosterScreen(kid)
                                end if
                end if
            else if msg.isScreenClosed() then
                return -1
            end if
        end If
    end while

    return 0

End Function
