ICONLIST

The ICONLIST is very similar to the BUTTONLIST, representing a list of items instead of a list of buttons. The list can either be a vertical list or a horizontal list.

Obligatory

If not specified (or set to "true") then the icons are arranged in one column, one below the other. If specified as "false" then the icons are arrange in one row, one aside the other.

Optional

true

false

cellspacing

An icons of the ICONLIST control is embedded into an internal cell. The CELLSPACING property defined the number of pixels that are kept between the icon an the border of this cell.

int-value

comment

Comment without any effect on rendering and behaviour. The comment is shown in the layout editor's tree view.

Optional  
Appearance
imagewidth

Pixel width of the image that is shown inside the icon. If not defined then the icon is rendered with its normal width.

Optional  
imageheight

Pixel height of the image that is shown inside the icon. If not defined then the icon is rendered with its normal height.

Optional  
align

Horizontal alignment of control in its column.

Each control is "packaged" into a column. The column itself is part of a row (e.g. ITR or TR). Sometimes the size of the column is bigger than the size of the control itself. In this case the "align" property specifies the position of the control inside the column. In most cases you do not require the align control to be explicitly defined because the size of the column around the controls exactly is sized in the same way as the contained control.

If you want to directly control the alignment of text: in most text based controls there is an explicit property "textalign" in which you align the control's contained text.
