How to use Icon view?

[bgowland]

Can someone point me at some example code for using UiList.ViewMode.MODE_ICON please? How to set the image and accompanying text, skin requirements etc.

I think I got the skin side of things OK but not sure what I should be doing with the image and accompanying text. I currently just get my button list without any icons.

Cheers,
Brian

Code:

        <CompositeImage name="IconViewNormalItem" size="17,24">
            <DrawCommonImage name="IconViewNormalItemBackground"/>
            <DrawImage filename="@thumbnail" loc="5,5" size="90,70"/>
            <DrawText text="@fileName" loc="0,75" size="100,23" textStyle="IconViewItems" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
        </CompositeImage>

If you have icon view items like this, when you add your items to the list, you can set @thumbnail to an Image object loaded with Image.FromFile(), and the @fileName to a string.

UiList.Item item = new UiList.Item();
item.AddProperty("@name", Image.FromFile(filename));
item.AddProperty("@fileName", "some file name.mp3");

Thanks - it was my skin.xml after all. I'd copied the IconView sections from the MusicLibrary skin.xml so as with your example, DrawText was expecting "@filename" - I was simply using "@name" in my code.

Everything is in line now and I now have a brightly filled screen of icons.
