column-layout

Class
Summary

A layout which arranges its children in a column.

Package

capi

Superclasses

grid-layout

Initargs

:ratios

The size ratios between the layout's children.

:adjust

The horizontal adjustment for each child.

:gap

The gap between each child.

:uniform-size-p

If t, each child in the column has the same height.

Accessors

layout-ratios

Description

The class column-layout lays its children out in a column. It inherits the behavior from grid-layout. The description is a list of the layout's children, and the layout also translates the initargs ratios , adjust , gap and uniform-size-p into the grid-layout's equivalent initargs y-ratios , x-adjust , y-gap and y-uniform-size-p .

description may also contain the keywords :divider and :separator which automatically create a divider or separator as a child of the column-layout. The user can move a divider, but cannot move a separator.

When specifying :ratios in a row with :divider or :separator, you should use nil to specify that the divider or separator is given its minimum size, as in the example below.

Compatibility note

*layout-divider-default-size* and column-layout-divider are not supported in LispWorks 4.4 and later.

Example
(capi:contain (make-instance
               'capi:column-layout
               :description
                (list
                 (make-instance 'capi:push-button
                                :text "Press me")
                "Title"
                (make-instance 'capi:list-panel
                               :items '(1 2 3)))))
(setq column (capi:contain
              (make-instance
               'capi:column-layout
               :description

                "Title:"
                (make-instance 'capi:list-panel
                               :items '(1 2 3)))
               :adjust :center)))

                collect i)
          :selection

                collect i)
