This element enables the designer to include XML files that contain skin code into another SKIN file. It allows reuse of existing code in another file.
Warning: you have to avoid cycles in your includes. Do not include a file that directly or indirectly includes the same file. The skinning engine won't be able to read the skin otherwise.
None.

Path to the XML file to include. |
The file to include has to be a valid XML file with a single root element. |
1.0 |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <SKIN language_version="1.0" background_color="#ffffff" repeat="true" h_margin="10" layout_type="row"> <INCLUDE file="include.xml" /> </SKIN>
if the include.xml file contains the following lines:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <IMAGE_PARAM_KNOB param_id="dsp.input4" image="knob_black.bmp" image_orientation="horizontal" images_count="127" />
Will be equivalent to the following file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <SKIN language_version="1.0" background_color="#ffffff" repeat="true" h_margin="10" layout_type="row"> <IMAGE_PARAM_KNOB param_id="dsp.input4" image="knob_black.bmp" image_orientation="horizontal" images_count="127" /> </SKIN>
Just as if the code below the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> line had been pasted inside the including file.
Note that the included file has to be a valid XML file: the first line is mandatory, and the file must have a root element. If you want to include a file containing several elements in a list, they have to be enclosed in a root element. The DUMMY element exists for this purpose.
