I tried a search and got a few hits but couldn't find the answer to my question.

I'm creating a device that will contain a list of DVDs in my changer to be displayed on a software remote. There will also be another property that will the filter the list by genre. If I need to chage the values in the list when the genre changes do I need to use a dynamic property?

Also it would be nice if I could keep up with the disc number in the same list without having it show to the user. I can come up with other ways to do that if it is not easily done in the list.

Thanks,
Eric

I think you could use a regular alpha-list property. The Device will be notified when the filter property changes and can then update the list.

Not sure on that one. You could just use another property for the disc number.

You could put this in the alphalist lines before the TAB so it is available when you select an alphalist line, but hidden from the view unless you also display this disc number after the TAB.
