Detailed Description

Displays a list of items that the user can select and invoke.

BListView's can be one of two types set by the type parameter of the constructor:

An example of a BListView looks like this:

Click on an item to select it and double-click an item to invoke it. The BListView doesn't define what it means to "invoke" an item. See BListView::SetSelectionMessage() and BListView::SetInvocationMessage() to set a message to be set when these actions occur. You can also select and invoke items with keyboard keys such as the up and down arrow keys, Page Up and Page Down and the Enter key or Space key to invoke the item.

This class is based on the BList class from the Support Kit and many of the methods it uses behave similarly.

Although a BListView is scrollable, it doesn't provide scroll bars by itself. You should add the BListView as a child of a BScrollView to make it scrollable.

The code to add a BListView to a BScrollView looks something like this:

BListView* list = new BListView(frame, "List", B_SINGLE_SELECTION_LIST);
list->AddItem(new BStringItem("Item 1"));
list->AddItem(new BStringItem("Item 2"));
...
view->AddChild(new BScrollView("scroll_view", list,
B_FOLLOW_LEFT | B_FOLLOW_TOP, 0, false, true));
const uint32 B_FOLLOW_LEFT
The margin between the left side of the view and the left side of its parent remains constant.
Definition: View.h:114
const uint32 B_FOLLOW_TOP
The margin between the top of the view and the top of its parent remains constant.
Definition: View.h:119
Displays a list of items that the user can select and invoke.
Definition: ListView.h:24
A convenience class used to add scrolling to a target view.
Definition: ScrollView.h:15
A list item of a text string used as a member of a BListView or BOutlineListView.
Definition: StringItem.h:12
