============================
Drop-Down List (lv_dropdown)
============================
Overview
********
The Drop-Down List allows the user to select a value from a list.
The Drop-Down List is closed by default and displays a single value or
predefined text. When activated (by click on the Drop-Down List), a list
is created from which the user may select one item. When the user
selects a new value, the list is deleted again.
The Drop-down list is added to the default group (if one is set).
The Drop-down list is an editable Widget allowing list-item selection via
encoder or keyboard navigation as well.
.. _lv_dropdown_parts_and_styles:
Parts and Styles
****************
The Drop-Down List Widget is built from the elements: "button" and "list"
(lightweight versions of the Button and List Widgets).
Button
------
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_PART_MAIN` Background of button, uses the typical
background- and text-properties for its text.
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_PART_INDICATOR` Typically an arrow symbol that can be an Image
or text (e.g. :cpp:enumerator:`LV_SYMBOL`).
The button goes to :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_CHECKED` when it's opened.
List
----
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_PART_MAIN` The list itself; uses the typical background
properties. ``max_height`` can be used to limit the height of the
list.
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_PART_SCROLLBAR` The scrollbar background, border, shadow
properties and width (for its own width) and right padding for the
spacing on the right.
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_PART_SELECTED` Refers to the currently pressed, checked or
pressed+checked option. Also uses the typical background properties.
The list is shown/hidden on open/close. To add styles to it use
:cpp:expr:`lv_dropdown_get_list(dropdown)` to get the list object. Example:
.. code-block:: c
lv_obj_t * list = lv_dropdown_get_list(dropdown) /* Get list */
lv_obj_add_style(list, &my_style, selector) /* Add styles to list */
Alternatively the theme can be extended with new styles.
.. _lv_dropdown_usage:
Usage
*****
.. _lv_dropdown_list_items:
List items
----------
The list items are passed to the Drop-Down List as a newline-separated list in a string
as the ``options`` argument to :cpp:expr:`lv_dropdown_set_options(dropdown, options)`.
Each list item should be separated by ``\n``. Example: ``"First\nSecond\nThird"``.
This string is copied by the Drop-Down List, so its contents do not need to remain
available beyond this call.
The :cpp:expr:`lv_dropdown_add_option(dropdown, "New option", pos)` function
inserts a new option at index ``pos``.
To save memory the options can be set from a static (const) string as well
with :cpp:expr:`lv_dropdown_set_options_static(dropdown, options)`. In this case
the options string's contents must remain available for the life of the Drop-Down
List and :cpp:func:`lv_dropdown_add_option` cannot be used.
You can select an option programmatically with
:cpp:expr:`lv_dropdown_set_selected(dropdown, id)`, where ``id`` is the index of
the target option.
Get selected option
-------------------
To get the *index* of the selected option, use
:cpp:expr:`lv_dropdown_get_selected(dropdown)`.
:cpp:expr:`lv_dropdown_get_selected_str(dropdown, buf, buf_size)` copies the
*name* of the selected option to ``buf``.
Direction
---------
The list can be created on any side. The default :cpp:enumerator:`LV_DIR_BOTTOM` can
be modified using :cpp:expr:`lv_dropdown_set_dir(dropdown, LV_DIR_LEFT)`.
If the list would be vertically out of the screen, it will be aligned to
the edge.
Symbol
------
A symbol (typically an arrow) can be added to the Drop-Down List with
:cpp:expr:`lv_dropdown_set_symbol(dropdown, LV_SYMBOL_...)`
If the direction of the Drop-Down List is :cpp:enumerator:`LV_DIR_LEFT` the symbol
will be shown on the left, otherwise on the right.
Show selected
-------------
The main part can either show the selected item or static text. If
static is set with :cpp:expr:`lv_dropdown_set_text(dropdown, "Some text")` it
will be shown regardless of the selected item. If the text is ``NULL``
the selected option is displayed on the button.
Programmatically open/close
---------------------------
To programmatically open or close the Drop-Down List use
:cpp:expr:`lv_dropdown_open(dropdown)` or :cpp:expr:`lv_dropdown_close(dropdown)`.
.. _lv_dropdown_events:
Events
******
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_EVENT_VALUE_CHANGED` Sent when a new option is selected or the list is opened/closed.
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_EVENT_CANCEL` Sent when list is closed.
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_EVENT_READY` Sent when list is opened.

.. _lv_dropdown_keys:
Keys
****
- ``LV_KEY_RIGHT/DOWN`` Select next list item.
- ``LV_KEY_LEFT/UP`` Select previous list item.
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_KEY_ENTER` Apply selected list item (sends
:cpp:enumerator:`LV_EVENT_VALUE_CHANGED` event and closes Drop-Down List).
