The Grid View is one of three menus in JUI. It acts similar to Java Swing's GridLayout and allows you much more flexibility in placing components.

Usage

To add a Grid View add

gridview_t view;
view = gridview_create(xCount, yCount, component_count, grid_components);

gridview_draw(&view);

gridview_select(&view, 0);

gridview_run(&view);

Reference

gridview_create creates the gridview_t structure given the width of the grid, height of the grid, number of components and pointer to the Grid View components.

gridview_draw clears and draws the view on the screen, if you need to redraw at any point then you can just call this again.

gridview_place creates a Grid View component from a standard component by specifying the x and y coordinates and the width and height (in columns and rows) the component should span.

gridview_select moves the selection cursor to the position specified, if you don't call this the cursor will not be show until the user moves the selection.

gridview_scroll moves the selection cursor by a specified amount forward (positive values) or backward (negative values).

gridview_up moves the selection cursor up one component.

gridview_down moves the selection cursor down one component.

gridview_right moves the selection cursor right one component.

gridview_left moves the selection cursor left one component.

gridview_run enters the main loop for the icon menu and does not return.
