For visual consistency, the standard list layouts are built around a structure +of three virtual columns. The column borders are aligned with the sides of +the context pane.

+

The width of list items can be divided in three sections (columns A, B +and C). All three columns need not be used separately in a list layout: combinations +AB, BC or ABC are possible. Column D is basically the very end of column C +where additional indicators can be displayed (see figure below). The area +for these indicators is not strictly an individual column in the same sense +as the other three, because it can be used dynamically, item by item. All +items within a list must use the same column layout.

+ +Different column arrangements: a) All columns used for a text item. +b) Column A contains an icon, columns B&C combined for text. c) Columns +A&B combined for a large icon, column C contains text. d) Column A: an +icon; column B: a label; column C: text. + + + +Standard elements +within list item associated with columns + + + +Column +Description + + + + +

The list layout can be mirrored for localizations such as Arabic +and Hebrew (for example, column A is in the right edge of the pane). See Layout changes in bi-directional +languages.
