Added the following event handlers:

Sub Grid_HeaderClick ( Col As Int )
Sub Grid_HeaderLongClick ( Col As Int )
Sub Grid_CellClick ( Col As Int , Row as Int )
Sub Grid_CellLongClick ( Col As Int , Row as Int )

The old ones:

Sub Grid_Select
Sub Grid_Long_Select
Sub Grid_Header_Click

will be removed so their use is discouraged.

Excellent

stefanobusetto · Dec 14, 2014

Added Column Builders ( yust to keep the code easier! )

ColCreateAndAppend ( Caption As String , Field As String , Width As Int ) As xnGridCol
ColCreateAndAppend2 ( Caption As String , Field As String , Width As Int , Gravity As Int ) As xnGridCol
ColCreateAndInsert ( Col As Int , Caption As String , Field As String , Width As Int ) As xnGridCol
ColCreateAndInsert2 ( Col As Int , Caption As String , Field As String , Width As Int , Gravity As Int ) As xnGridCol

Each sub:

Creates a new xnGridCol
Adds the xnGridCol to the xnGrid
Returns the xnGridCol

The following code ( from the xnGridSample4 example )

B4X:

Dim cc(5) As xnGridCol

cc(0).Initialize2 ( "#" , "id" , 40dip , Gravity.TOP + Gravity.LEFT )
gg.ColAppend ( cc(0) )

cc(1).Initialize2 ( "First Name" , "first_name" , 100dip , Gravity.TOP + Gravity.LEFT )
cc(1).SingleLine = True
gg.ColAppend ( cc(1) )

cc(2).Initialize2 ( "Family Name" , "family name" , 100dip , Gravity.TOP + Gravity.LEFT )
gg.ColAppend ( cc(2) )

cc(3).Initialize2 ( "State" , "state" , 40dip , Gravity.LEFT )
cc(3).SetTypeImage
cc(3).RowIconPut ( "1" , flags(0) )
cc(3).RowIconPut ( "2" , flags(1) )
cc(3).RowIconPut ( "3" , flags(2) )
cc(3).RowIconPut ( "4" , flags(3) )
cc(3).RowIconPut ( "5" , flags(4) )
cc(3).PositionSet ( 2 , 3 , 4 , 0 )
gg.ColAppend ( cc(3) )

cc(4).Initialize2 ( "Sex" , "sex" , 30dip , Gravity.LEFT )
cc(4).SetTypeImage
cc(4).RowIconPut ( "M" , bmp_m )
cc(4).RowIconPut ( "F" , bmp_f )
cc(4).PositionSet ( 2 , 3 , 2 , 7 )
gg.ColAppend ( cc(4) )

becomes

B4X:

Dim c As xnGridCol

c = gg.ColCreateAndAppend2 ( "#" , "id" , 40dip , Gravity.TOP + Gravity.LEFT )

c = gg.ColCreateAndAppend2 ( "First Name" , "first_name" , 100dip , Gravity.TOP + Gravity.LEFT )
c.SingleLine = True

c = gg.ColCreateAndAppend2 ( "Family Name" , "family name" , 100dip , Gravity.TOP + Gravity.LEFT )

c = gg.ColCreateAndAppend2 ( "State" , "state" , 40dip , Gravity.LEFT )
c.SetTypeImage
c.RowIconPut ( "1" , flags(0) )
c.RowIconPut ( "2" , flags(1) )
c.RowIconPut ( "3" , flags(2) )
c.RowIconPut ( "4" , flags(3) )
c.RowIconPut ( "5" , flags(4) )
c.PositionSet ( 2 , 3 , 4 , 0 )

c = gg.ColCreateAndAppend2 ( "Sex" , "sex" , 30dip , Gravity.LEFT )
c.SetTypeImage
c.RowIconPut ( "M" , bmp_m )
c.RowIconPut ( "F" , bmp_f )
c.PositionSet ( 2 , 3 , 2 , 7 )

Hello @stefanobusetto,
I tried to use the method "SetTypeCheck", but it doesn't work as you explain in your example

.
Can you check if everything is ok?
Thank you

imgsimonebiliato · Dec 15, 2014

Hello,
I have new ideas for your useful library:
- Some new methods like "GetValues", "GeValues2", "SetValues", "SetValues2",
Each method get, return the entire row values as a list or an array. The same for the method set.

- A new method, that incorporate and set at the same time HeaderTextSize, HeaderHeight, RowTextSize, RowHeight, such as:

B4X:

grid_cell_dimensions(HeaderTextSize as Int, HeaderHeight as Int, RowTextSize as Int, RowHeight as Int)

bye

stefanobusetto · Dec 16, 2014

@imgsimonebiliato
Thanks for bug reporting.
SetTypeCheck fixed!

stefanobusetto · Jan 4, 2015

RowHeight and HeaderHeight can be used to set the Height of the celles of the grid.
As you can see in the image the "First Name" column height is double of the height of other columns.

B4X:

'Activity module
Sub Process_Globals
'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
End Sub

Sub Globals
Dim gg As xnGrid

Dim bmp_m As Bitmap
Dim bmp_f As Bitmap
bmp_m.Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "male.png" )
bmp_f.Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "female.png" )

Dim flags(5) As Bitmap
flags(0).Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "flags_1.png" )
flags(1).Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "flags_2.png" )
flags(2).Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "flags_3.png" )
flags(3).Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "flags_4.png" )
flags(4).Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "flags_5.png" )

End Sub

Sub gg_fill
Dim n As Int

For n = 1 To 10
    gg.RowAppend ( Array As String ("1", "Fiona Fiona Fiona Fiona", "Stanfill", "1" , "F" ) )
    .....
Next
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
Dim bt_paint As Button

Dim t As Int : t = 5dip
Dim h As Int : h = 45dip

' create buttons
bt_paint.Initialize("bt_paint")
bt_paint.Text = "create"
Activity.AddView ( bt_paint ,  0dip , t ,  90dip , 40dip )

t = t + h

   Dim c As xnGridCol

   c = gg.ColCreateAndAppend2 ( "#" , "id" , 40dip , Gravity.TOP + Gravity.LEFT )

   c.RowIconPut ( "M" , bmp_m )
   c.RowIconPut ( "F" , bmp_f )
   c.PositionSet ( 2 , 3 , 3 , 1 )

End Sub

gg.RowHeight = 30dip
sets the defaultheight of the cells

c.RowHeight = 60dip
sets the height of "First Name" cell

Hi Stefano

You have been very busy I can see but I wondered is there any update to #356

stefanobusetto · Jan 6, 2015

Sure i remember!

I'm adding some features i urgently need.
Then i'll have a look a t request #340
Then #356

David Hawkins · Jan 6, 2015

OK thank you

stefanobusetto · Jan 6, 2015

TouchX() gets the x coordinate of the last touch point.
TouchY() gets the y coordinate of the last touch point.
FirstVisiblePosition() gets the index of the first visible ( even partially ) row
LastVisiblePosition() gets the index of the last visible ( even partially ) row

Example

B4X:

Log ( grid.TouchX )
Log ( grid.TouchY )

stefanobusetto · Jan 11, 2015

To create a Button Column just set the type with the SetTypeButton method.
The onClick event of the button is handled by the event onClick of the grid.

Example

B4X:

c = grid.ColCreateAndAppend2 ( "Button" , "Button" , 100dip , Gravity.TOP + Gravity.LEFT )
c.SetTypeButton

The CellProps event has replaced the PropSetColor / PropSetTextColor methods.
The CellProps event i triggered to get :
- BackGroundColor
- TextSize
- TextColor
of each cell of the grid.
So these properties can be set on a per cell basis instead of a per row basis
as it was previuosly.

Example

B4X:

Sub gg_CellProps ( aCol As Int , aRow As Int , aValue As String , aProps As xnGridCellProps )
If aCol = 1 Then
   aProps.TextColor = Colors.Red
End If

If aCol = 1 Then
   If aRow = 1 Then
      aProps.BackGroundColor = ...
      aProps.TextSize = ...
      aProps.TextColor = ...
   End If
End If
End Sub

Hi Stefano

Thank you. This grids' functionality get better and better every day, brilliant, that is exactly what I wanted.

Regards

David

Hi, I'm using the PropSetHeight property to change the height of the cells and I'm using xnobjets 2.52 I upgraded to version 2.67 and that property does not exist which is now the property

Thank You

stefanobusetto · Jan 17, 2015

You have to keep using version 2.52.
PropSetHeight is the only feature i've not yet ported to 2.67.
I'm sorry you'll have to wait a bit.

Hi Stefano in the statement below what is the aValue as string representing? is it the value to put into the cell?

Sub gg_CellProps ( aCol As Int , aRow As Int , aValue As String , aProps As xnGridCellProps )

Regards

David

It is the value that each cells contains

David Hawkins · Mar 2, 2015

Hi imgsimonebiliato

In that case i am getting confused with the code for setting the cell back color.

I am trying to make sense of the following code to set a cell back color as posted by Stefano

Sub gg_CellProps ( aCol As Int , aRow As Int , aValue AsString , aProps As xnGridCellProps )
If aCol = 1 Then
aProps.TextColor = Colors.Red
EndIf
If aCol = 1Then
If aRow = 1Then
aProps.BackGroundColor = ...
aProps.TextSize = ...
aProps.TextColor = ...
EndIf
EndIf
End Sub
