ListIconGadget()

Syntax

Result = ListIconGadget(#Gadget, x, y, Width, Height, FirstColumnTitle$, FirstColumnWidth [, Flags])

Creates a ListIcon gadget in the current GadgetList.

Parameters

#Gadget	A number to identify the new gadget. #PB_Any can be used to auto-generate this number.
x, y, Width, Height	The position and dimensions of the new gadget.
FirstColumnTitle$	The title for the first column in the gadget. The gadget is created with one initial column.
FirstColumnWidth	The width of the first column in the gadget.
Flags (optional)	Flags to modify the gadget behavior. It can be a combination of the following values: #PB_ListIcon_CheckBoxes : Display checkboxes in the first column. #PB_ListIcon_ThreeState : The checkboxes can have an "in between" state. #PB_ListIcon_MultiSelect : Enable multiple selection. #PB_ListIcon_GridLines : Display separator lines between rows and columns (not supported on Mac OSX). #PB_ListIcon_FullRowSelect : The selection covers the full row instead of the first column (Windows only). #PB_ListIcon_HeaderDragDrop : The order of columns can be changed using drag'n'drop. #PB_ListIcon_AlwaysShowSelection: The selection is still visible, even when the gadget is not activated (Windows only). The #PB_ListIcon_ThreeState flag can be used in combination with the #PB_ListIcon_CheckBoxes flag to get checkboxes that can have an "on", "off" and "in between" state. The user can only select the "on" or "off" states. The "in between" state can be set programmatically using the SetGadgetItemState() function.

Return value

Returns nonzero on success and zero on failure. If #PB_Any was used as the #Gadget parameter then the return-value is the auto-generated gadget number on success.
