[REBOL] view/list: altering layout possible?

From: robert::muench::robertmuench::de at: 8-Apr-2002 13:29

Hi, I have the following problem and don't know what's the best way to solve it: - I use a list that has three columns all of type text. - There are some actions attached to the text faces. Now I want to insert some rows into my list that use a different row layout. An image and a text. The problem is that the list style takes one 'layout block and this one can either be for the text rows or the image row. What know? I see the following possibilities (disadvantages marked with -, advantages marked with +) 1. I use one list style with a container like a box and use the box/pane to insert a single face I build a priori. + simple pattern for list style - need to simulate the 'supply thing of a list where all columns get triggered - need to create one layouted face that can be inserted into the pane - need to handle positioning and sizing myself 2. I use one list for the text rows and create single faces for the image rows. The image rows are than positioned as a layer over the list (at the position where a image row is placed, the text list will have an empty line) faking the one-list imagination. + simpler to programm - syncing list scrolling might be tedious 3. Use the following list layout: image text text text and decided within the 'supply function if an image is needed or not. If not I can hide the face (?) or set the size to 0x0. + consistent with list style - context depending code within gui code - tricky to understand What do you think about the three possibilities? Did I miss some other possibility? Robert
