Tizen Native API  5.0

table_inheritance_tree.png

A container widget to arrange other widgets in a table where items can span multiple columns or rows - even overlap (and then be raised or lowered accordingly to adjust stacking if they do overlap).

The row and column count is not fixed. The table widget adjusts itself when subobjects are added to it dynamically.

The most common way to use a table is:

 table = elm_table_add(win);
 evas_object_show(table);
 elm_table_padding_set(table, space_between_columns, space_between_rows);
 elm_table_pack(table, table_content_object, column, row, colspan, rowspan);
 elm_table_pack(table, table_content_object, next_column, next_row, colspan, rowspan);
 elm_table_pack(table, table_content_object, other_column, other_row, colspan, rowspan);

The following are examples of how to use a table:

Function Documentation

Add a new table to the parent.

Parameters:
parentThe parent object
Returns:
The new object or NULL if it cannot be created

2.3
Examples:
mapbuf_example.c, table_example_01.c, and table_example_02.c.
void elm_table_align_get ( const Elm_Table *  obj,
double *  horizontal,
double *  vertical 
)

Get alignment of table.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object.
[out]horizontalThe horizontal alignment.
[out]verticalThe vertical alignment.
Since (EFL) :
1.13
Since :
3.0
void elm_table_align_set ( Elm_Table *  obj,
double  horizontal,
double  vertical 
)

Set alignment of table. Default value is 0.5.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object.
[in]horizontalThe horizontal alignment.
[in]verticalThe vertical alignment.
Since (EFL) :
1.13
Since :
3.0
Efl_Canvas_Object* elm_table_child_get ( const Elm_Table *  obj,
int  col,
int  row 
)

Get child object of table at given coordinates.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object.
[in]colColumn number of child object.
[in]rowRow number of child object.
Returns:
Child of object if find if not return null.
Since :
3.0
void elm_table_clear ( Elm_Table *  obj,
Eina_Bool  clear 
)

Faster way to remove all child objects from a table object.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object.
[in]clearIf true, will delete children, else just remove from table.
Since :
2.3
Eina_Bool elm_table_homogeneous_get ( const Elm_Table *  obj)

Control the homogenous state in a table.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object.
Returns:
A boolean to set if the layout is homogeneous in the table.
Since :
2.3
void elm_table_homogeneous_set ( Elm_Table *  obj,
Eina_Bool  homogeneous 
)

Control the homogenous state in a table.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object.
[in]homogeneousA boolean to set if the layout is homogeneous in the table.
Since :
2.3
Examples:
table_example_01.c, and table_example_02.c.
void elm_table_pack ( Elm_Table *  obj,
Efl_Canvas_Object subobj,
int  column,
int  row,
int  colspan,
int  rowspan 
)

Add a subobject on the table with the coordinates passed.

Note:
All positioning inside the table is relative to rows and columns, so a value of 0 for x and y, means the top left cell of the table, and a value of 1 for w and h means subobj only takes that 1 cell.
Columns and rows only guarantee 16bit unsigned values at best. That means that col + colspan AND row + rowspan must fit inside 16bit unsigned values cleanly. You will be warned once values exceed 15bit storage, and attempting to use values not able to fit in 16bits will result in failure.
Parameters:
[in]objThe object.
[in]subobjThe subobject to be added to the table.
[in]columnColumn number.
[in]rowRow number.
[in]colspanColumns span.
[in]rowspanRows span.
Since :
2.3
Examples:
mapbuf_example.c, table_example_01.c, and table_example_02.c.
void elm_table_pack_get ( Evas_Object subobj,
int *  col,
int *  row,
int *  colspan,
int *  rowspan 
)

Get the packing location of an existing child of the table.

Parameters:
subobjThe subobject to be modified in the table
colColumn number
rowRow number
colspancolspan
rowspanrowspan

elm_table_pack_set()
Since :
2.3
void elm_table_pack_set ( Evas_Object subobj,
int  col,
int  row,
int  colspan,
int  rowspan 
)

Set the packing location of an existing child of the table.

Parameters:
subobjThe subobject to be modified in the table
colColumn number
rowRow number
colspancolspan
rowspanrowspan

Modifies the position of an object already in the table.

Note:
All positioning inside the table is relative to rows and columns, so a value of 0 for col and row, means the top left cell of the table, and a value of 1 for colspan and rowspan means subobj only takes that 1 cell.
Since :
2.3
void elm_table_padding_get ( const Elm_Table *  obj,
