List.style | LuaRT free and open source Windows programming framework for Lua

List.style read/write property

Get or set the current style, a string value, that specifies the List appearance :

"text" : List will display only text items (default).
"icons" : List will display text items with their icons, using ListItem:loadicon().

When setting the style property from "icons" to "text" all previously loaded icons are preserved.

Example


local ui = require "ui"

-- create a simple Window 
local win = ui.Window("List.style sample", "fixed", 400, 240)
local label = ui.Label(win, "DoubleClick on an application :", 10, 30)
local list = ui.List(win, {}, label.x+label.width+6, label.y-4)
local checkicons = ui.Checkbox(win, "Show icons", list.x+list.width+12, label.y)

local applications = {
	Notepad = "c:\\Windows\\notepad.exe",
	Console = 'c:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe'
}

for app, path in pairs(applications) do 
	list.selected = list:add(app)
  list.selected:loadicon(path)
end

function list:onDoubleClick(item)
	sys.cmd("start "..applications[item.text])
end

function checkicons:onClick()
	list.style = self.checked and "icons" or "text"
	win:status("list style : "..list.style:capitalize())
end

win:show()

-- update user interface
repeat
	ui.update()
until not win.visible
