i wonder if anybody can help me out  
im looking for a way/method to change elements of a control  
for example to change the co-ordinates <top>,<left> and size <height>,<width> etc. of a control  
<left>...</left>  
<top>...</top>  
<height>...</height>  
<width>...</width>  
so lets say the above is for the widgets  
i need a way so if i click a button - each click would put a different number in between the tags  
for example  
click once           click twice  
<left>55</left> <left>70</left>  
<top>55</top> <top>90</top>  
etc. etc.  
does anyone know of a method or even if this is possible.  
the ultimate aim is to allow peeps to just click on a button and re-position and/or re-size certain elements of a skin.

look at SkinSettings.xml

xml:


<control type="button" id="607">

                    <label>$LOCALIZE[31156]</label>

                    <label2>$VAR[BackgroundOverlayTypeVar]</label2>

                    <include>DefaultSettingButton</include>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(background_overlay),7)">Skin.SetString(background_overlay,0)</onclick>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(background_overlay),6)">Skin.SetString(background_overlay,7)</onclick>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(background_overlay),5)">Skin.SetString(background_overlay,6)</onclick>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(background_overlay),4)">Skin.SetString(background_overlay,5)</onclick>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(background_overlay),3)">Skin.SetString(background_overlay,4)</onclick>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(background_overlay),2)">Skin.SetString(background_overlay,3)</onclick>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(background_overlay),1)">Skin.SetString(background_overlay,2)</onclick>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(background_overlay),0)">Skin.SetString(background_overlay,1)</onclick>

                </control>

click once           click twice  
<left>55</left> <left>70</left>  
<top>55</top> <top>90</top>  
etc. etc.  
Skin.SetString(button4,45)
<left>$INFO[Skin.String(button4)]</left>
have used this to do things like that

xml:
<control type="button" id="168">

                    <width>1400</width>

                    <label>   widget type</label>

                    <label2>$INFO[Skin.String(skinsearch_art_widget4)]</label2>

                    <include>DefaultSettingButton</include>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEmpty(skinsearch_art_widget4)">Skin.SetString(skinsearch_art_widget4,WidgetListPoster)</onclick>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(skinsearch_art_widget4),muti_widget)">Skin.SetString(skinsearch_art_widget4,WidgetListPoster)</onclick>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(skinsearch_art_widget4),WidgetListPoster)">Skin.SetString(skinsearch_art_widget4,WidgetListEpisodes)</onclick>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(skinsearch_art_widget4),WidgetListEpisodes)">Skin.SetString(skinsearch_art_widget4,muti_widget_large)</onclick>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(skinsearch_art_widget4),muti_widget_large)">Skin.SetString(skinsearch_art_widget4,WidgetListprime)</onclick>

                    <onclick condition="String.IsEqual(Skin.String(skinsearch_art_widget4),WidgetListprime)">Skin.SetString(skinsearch_art_widget4,muti_widget)</onclick>

                </control>
