ItemList

Inherits: Control < CanvasItem < Node < Object

Control that provides a list of selectable items (and/or icons) in a single column, or optionally in multiple columns.

Description

This control provides a selectable list of items that may be in a single (or multiple columns) with option of text, icons, or both text and icon. Tooltips are supported and may be different for every item in the list.

Selectable items in the list may be selected or deselected and multiple selection may be enabled. Selection with right mouse button may also be enabled to allow use of popup context menus. Items may also be “activated” by double-clicking them or by pressing Enter.

Item text only supports single-line strings, newline characters (e.g. \n) in the string won’t produce a newline. Text wrapping is enabled in ICON_MODE_TOP mode, but column’s width is adjusted to fully fit its content by default. You need to set fixed_column_width greater than zero to wrap the text.

Signals

• item_activated ( int index )

Triggered when specified list item is activated via double-clicking or by pressing Enter.

• item_rmb_selected ( int index, Vector2 at_position )

Triggered when specified list item has been selected via right mouse clicking.

The click position is also provided to allow appropriate popup of context menus at the correct location.

allow_rmb_select must be enabled.

• item_selected ( int index )

Triggered when specified item has been selected.

allow_reselect must be enabled to reselect an item.

• multi_selected ( int index, bool selected )

Triggered when a multiple selection is altered on a list allowing multiple selection.

• nothing_selected ( )

Triggered when a left mouse click is issued within the rect of the list but on empty space.

• rmb_clicked ( Vector2 at_position )

Triggered when a right mouse click is issued within the rect of the list but on empty space.

allow_rmb_select must be enabled.

Enumerations

enum IconMode:

• ICON_MODE_TOP = 0 —- Icon is drawn above the text.
• ICON_MODE_LEFT = 1 —- Icon is drawn to the left of the text.

enum SelectMode:

• SELECT_SINGLE = 0 —- Only allow selecting a single item.
• SELECT_MULTI = 1 —- Allows selecting multiple items by holding Ctrl or Shift.

Property Descriptions

• bool allow_reselect

If true, the currently selected item can be selected again.

• bool allow_rmb_select

If true, right mouse button click can select items.

• bool auto_height

If true, the control will automatically resize the height to fit its content.

• int fixed_column_width

The width all columns will be adjusted to.

A value of zero disables the adjustment, each item will have a width equal to the width of its content and the columns will have an uneven width.

• Vector2 fixed_icon_size

The size all icons will be adjusted to.

If either X or Y component is not greater than zero, icon size won’t be affected.

• IconMode icon_mode

The icon position, whether above or to the left of the text. See the IconMode constants.

• float icon_scale

The scale of icon applied after fixed_icon_size and transposing takes effect.

• int max_columns

Maximum columns the list will have.

If greater than zero, the content will be split among the specified columns.

A value of zero means unlimited columns, i.e. all items will be put in the same row.

• int max_text_lines

Maximum lines of text allowed in each item. Space will be reserved even when there is not enough lines of text to display.

Note: This property takes effect only when icon_mode is ICON_MODE_TOP. To make the text wrap, fixed_column_width should be greater than zero.

• bool same_column_width

Whether all columns will have the same width.

If true, the width is equal to the largest column width of all columns.

• SelectMode select_mode

Allows single or multiple item selection. See the SelectMode constants.

Method Descriptions

• void add_icon_item ( Texture icon, bool selectable=true )

Adds an item to the item list with no text, only an icon.

• void add_item ( String text, Texture icon=null, bool selectable=true )

Adds an item to the item list with specified text. Specify an icon, or use null as the icon for a list item with no icon.

If selectable is true, the list item will be selectable.

• void clear ( )

Removes all items from the list.

• void ensure_current_is_visible ( )

Ensure current selection is visible, adjusting the scroll position as necessary.

• int get_item_at_position ( Vector2 position, bool exact=false ) const

Returns the item index at the given position.

When there is no item at that point, -1 will be returned if exact is true, and the closest item index will be returned otherwise.

• int get_item_count ( ) const

Returns the number of items currently in the list.

• Color get_item_custom_bg_color ( int idx ) const

Returns the custom background color of the item specified by idx index.

• Texture get_item_icon ( int idx ) const

Returns the icon associated with the specified index.

• Color get_item_icon_modulate ( int idx ) const

Returns a Color modulating item’s icon at the specified index.

• Rect2 get_item_icon_region ( int idx ) const
