CEikColumnListBox Class Reference

class CEikColumnListBox : public CEikTextListBox

Column list box control.

This is a list box whose lines consist of cells that are grouped vertically into columns. The columns can be either textual or graphical, and column widths and fonts can be set explicitly through CColumnListBoxData.

Starting from 3.0 listbox uses highlight animations. Starting and stopping animation is connected to focus events. To support highlight animations properly you have to make sure that the list has focus when it has 'visual focus'. Common issues:
  • In many cases list is in a container which sits on top of the control stack. The container receives all focus events and should hand them to the list too. E.g. void CContainer::FocusChanged( TDrawNow aDrawNow ) { ... some code ... if( iListBox ) iListBox->SetFocus( IsFocused(), aDrawNow ); }

  • When switching components programmatically, e.g. from one list to another in the same view, make sure that you remove focus from the other component.

  • In more complex cases you may have to add a dummy interceptor control to the top of control stack to hand focus events to list.

  • Make sure you handle resource changes correctly. If resource handle chain is solid it should reach CCoeControl::HandleResourceChange, which informs

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CEikColumnListBox()

IMPORT_CCEikColumnListBox()

C++ default constructor.

Member Functions Documentation

CEikListBox_Reserved()

IMPORT_C voidCEikListBox_Reserved()[private, virtual]

ConstructFromResourceL(TResourceReader &)

IMPORT_C voidConstructFromResourceL(TResourceReader &aReader)[virtual]

Second-phase construction from a resource.

This function completes the construction of a column list box, initialising any members from the specified resource reader.

Parameters

TResourceReader & aReaderA resource file reader

ConstructL(const CCoeControl *, TInt)

IMPORT_C voidConstructL(const CCoeControl *aParent,
TIntaFlags = 0
)[virtual]

By default Symbian 2nd phase constructor is private.

This function completes the construction of a column list box.

Parameters

const CCoeControl * aParentParent control for the column list box.
TInt aFlags = 0Flags for the column list box.

CreateItemDrawerL()

IMPORT_C voidCreateItemDrawerL()[protected, virtual]

This member is internal and not intended for use.

CreateModelL()

IMPORT_C voidCreateModelL()[protected, virtual]

Creates a new CTextListBoxModel

EditItemL(TInt, TInt)

IMPORT_C voidEditItemL(TIntaColumn,
TIntaMaxLength
)

Not supported in S60.

Parameters

TInt aColumn
TInt aMaxLength

EnableExtendedDrawingL()

IMPORT_C voidEnableExtendedDrawingL()

This method needs to be called to enable extended drawing features such as skinning, pictograph drawing and marquee text in the listbox draw routine.

Methods CEikFormattedCellListBox::ConstructL and CEikFormattedCellListBox::ConstructFromResourceL call this method. So, you only need to call this if your listbox implementation does not call either of those.

This method can be safely called more than once. Item drawer must be created before calling this method, or a panic is raised.

S60 2.6

EnableStretching(const TBool)

IMPORT_C voidEnableStretching(const TBoolaEnabled)

Enables/disables list stretching. When a column list is stretched its layout is optimized to take advantage of the extra screen space. This is intented for devices with a large screen. This feature might be set as default by a product specific flag.

Item drawer must be created before calling this method.

S60 3.1

Parameters

const TBool aEnabledETrue to enable list stretching.

ExtensionInterface(TUid)

IMPORT_C void *ExtensionInterface(TUidaInterface)[private, virtual]

Parameters

TUid aInterface

FocusChanged(TDrawNow)

IMPORT_C voidFocusChanged(TDrawNowaDrawNow)[virtual]

From CEikListBox

Handles focus changes.

The function emphasises or de-emphasises the view as needed, and shows or hides the matcher cursor.

Parameters

TDrawNow aDrawNowIf EDrawNow, a redraw is performed immediately

GetColorUseListL(CArrayFix< TCoeColorUse > &)

IMPORT_C voidGetColorUseListL(CArrayFix< TCoeColorUse > &aColorUseList)const [virtual]

From CCoeControl.

Not used in S60

Parameters

CArrayFix< TCoeColorUse > & aColorUseListThe colour list

HandlePointerEventL(const TPointerEvent &)

IMPORT_C voidHandlePointerEventL(const TPointerEvent &aPointerEvent)[virtual]

From CCoeControl.

Handles pointer events.

This function gets called whenever a pointer event occurs in the control, i.e. when the pointer is within the control's extent, or when the control has grabbed the pointer. The control should implement this function to handle pointer events.

Note: events of type EButton1Down are processed before HandlePointerEventL() is called, in order to transfer keyboard focus to the control in which the EButton1Down event occurred.

If overriding HandlePointerEventL(), the implementation must include a base call to CCoeControl's HandlePointerEventL().

Parameters

const TPointerEvent & aPointerEventThe pointer event

HandleResourceChange(TInt)

IMPORT_C voidHandleResourceChange(TIntaType)[virtual]

From CCoeControl.

Handles a change to the control's resources.

The types of resources handled are those which are shared across the environment, e.g. colours or fonts. For colour scheme changes, DrawDeferred() is called in order to redraw the control.

If overriding HandleResourceChange(), the implementation must include a base call to CCoeControl's HandleResourceChange().

Parameters

TInt aTypeA message UID value

ItemDrawer()

IMPORT_C CColumnListBoxItemDrawer *ItemDrawer()const

Gets the object used by this list box to draw its items.

A pointer to the list box drawer.

MakeViewClassInstanceL()

IMPORT_C CListBoxView *MakeViewClassInstanceL()[virtual]

From CEikListBox.

Creates the list box view. The function is called by @ ConstructL() to create an instance of the appropriate list box view class for this list box. The returned instance is owned by this object, and does not have to have its second-phase constructor run. This function is called by CreateViewL().

Pointer to a newly constructed list box view for this object.

Model()

IMPORT_C CTextListBoxModel *Model()const

Gets the list box model.

Pointer to the model used by this list box

MopSupplyObject(TTypeUid)

IMPORT_C TTypeUid::PtrMopSupplyObject(TTypeUidaUid)

From CCoeControl.

Retrieves an object of the same type as that encapsulated in aId.

This function is used to allow controls to ask their owners for access to other objects that they own.

Other than in the case where NULL is returned, the object returned must be of the same object type - that is, the ETypeId member of the object pointed to by the pointer returned by this function must be equal to the iUid member of aUid.

Pointer to the type UID of the wanted object.

Parameters

TTypeUid aUidAn encapsulated object type ID.

SetIconSizes()

voidSetIconSizes()

Helper function that setst icon sizes for visible list items
