Class GenList

Definition

Namespace:

ElmSharp

Assembly:

ElmSharp.dll

It inherits Layout. The GenList is a widget that aims to have a more expansive list than the simple List in ElmSharp that could have more flexible items and allow many more entries while still being fast and low on memory usage. At the same time it was also made to be able to do tree structures. But the price to pay is more complex when it comes to usage. If all you want is a simple list with icons and a single text, use List widget.

Constructors

GenList()

Creates and initializes a new instance of the GenList class.

Declaration

protected GenList()

GenList(EvasObject)

Creates and initializes a new instance of the GenList class.

Declaration

public GenList(EvasObject parent)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
EvasObject	parent	The parent is a given container, which will be attached by GenList as a child. It's EvasObject type.

Properties

BlockCount

Gets or sets the maximum number of items within an item block.

Declaration

public int BlockCount { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
int

Count

Gets the count of items in a this genlist widget.

Declaration

public int Count { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
int

FirstItem

Gets the first item in the genlist.

Declaration

public GenListItem FirstItem { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
GenListItem

FocusOnSelection

Gets or sets the focus upon the items selection mode.

Declaration

public bool FocusOnSelection { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

Remarks

When enabled, every selection of an item inside GenList will automatically set focus to its first focusable widget from the left. This is true of course, if the selection was made by clicking an unfocusable area in an item or selecting it with a key movement. Clicking on a focusable widget inside an item will couse this particular item to get focus as usual.

Homogeneous

Gets or sets whether the homogeneous mode is enabled.

Declaration

public bool Homogeneous { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

Remarks

If true, the genlist items will have the same height and width.

IsHighlight

Gets or sets whether the genlist items should be highlighted when an item is selected.

Declaration

public bool IsHighlight { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

IsMultiSelection

Gets or sets whether to enable multi-selection in the genlist.

Declaration

public bool IsMultiSelection { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

LastItem

Gets the last item in the genlist.

Declaration

public GenListItem LastItem { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
GenListItem

ListMode

Gets or sets the horizontal stretching mode. This mode used for sizing items horizontally. The default value is Scroll, which means that if the items are too wide to fit, the scroller scrolls horizontally. If set to Compress, means that the item width is fixed (restricted to a minimum) to the list width when calculating its size in order to allow the height to be calculated based on it. If set to Limit, means that items are expanded to the viewport width and limited to that size. If set to Expand, means that genlist try to reserve space to all its items to be visible at a time.

Declaration

public GenListMode ListMode { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
GenListMode

Remarks

Compress makes the genlist resize slower, as it recalculates every item height again whenever the list width changes. The homogeneous mode is so that all items in the genlist are of the same width/height. With Compress, the genlist items are initialized fast. However, there are no subobjects in the genlist, which can be on the flying resizable (such as TEXTBLOCK). If so, then some dynamic resizable objects in the genlist would not be diplayed properly.

LongPressTimeout

Gets or sets the timeout in seconds for the longpress event.

Declaration

public double LongPressTimeout { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
double

ReorderMode

Gets or sets the reorder mode. After turning on the reorder mode, longpress on a normal item triggers reordering of the item. You can move the item up and down. However, reordering does not work with group items.

Declaration

public bool ReorderMode { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

SelectedItem

Gets the selected item in a given GenList widget.

Declaration

public GenListItem SelectedItem { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
GenListItem

SelectionMode

Gets or sets the genlist select mode by GenItemSelectionMode.

Declaration

public GenItemSelectionMode SelectionMode { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
GenItemSelectionMode
