Constructor

Syntax

[ListView] new ListView(String id, String caption)

Description

Creates a new instance of the ListView class.

Arguments


  • id

    Unique identifier for the view. Can be retrieved using the id property defined in the UIElement class that this control inherits from. Useful for example to identify the source of an event in event callback functions or to apply a CSS rule to only this particular view. The identifier can be null, in which case no id will be set for the view.

  • caption

    The caption text for the view. A null caption can be used to hide the caption area. Pass an empty string to this argument in order to show the caption area but without text. This can be used if a custom image should be shown instead of text for the view caption. The image can then be defined using CSS by providing a background for the .ListViewCaptionText CSS rule. By specifying the rule only for the id that was specified with the id argument a custom background can be given to a particular view. The value is an XHTML string.

A new instance of the ListView class.
