List (lv_list)

Overview

The List is basically a rectangle with vertical layout to which Buttons and Texts can be added

Parts and Styles

Background

• LV_PART_MAIN The main part of the list that uses all the typical background properties

• LV_PART_SCROLLBAR The scrollbar. See the Base objects documentation for details.

Buttons and Texts See the Button's and Label's documentation.

Usage

Buttons

lv_list_add_button(list, icon, text) adds a full-width button with an icon

• that can be an image or symbol

• and a text.

The text starts to scroll horizontally if it's too long.

Texts

lv_list_add_text(list, text) adds a text.

Events

No special events are sent by the List, but sent by the Button as usual.

Keys

No Keys are processed by the object type.
