Libui: Request: list views

Created on 21 May 2016 · 9Comments · Source: andlabs/libui

Libui is an awesome project that makes it much easier to make natively accessible applications on various platforms.
Currently it's impossible to render a list of items in a list view.

There are two pieces of behavior that I see as important for a list view implementation (wx fails onthe second on Mac):
1: Displaying a fixed list of columnar data
2: Displaying a list of items dynamically fetched from a datasource

Here is documentation on the underlying UI controls:

Yes, that is all planned for after the next packaged release. There's something in _wip about it too.

I was about to ask about tables but hopefully that's up next it seems.

That is great to hear. One of the main features I need it columnar data display for testing and monitoring applications that update reasonably quickly. This sounds like it might meet that need.
