Grid types
Grids are in many ways analogous to lists. However, there are some things worth noticing:
In grids, the Scroll left and Scroll right keys are always used for moving the focus; they can't be used in any other way that may be possible with lists.
Grid layouts are not standardized as much as lists are, the layouts must be designed case by case for the applications. Typically, grid items occupy less screen space than list items. This results in grid items having fewer elements than list items. A grid item may in general have one text, or one graphic, or a text and a graphic.
The following grid types can be used, and they are analogous to corresponding list types:
menu grid | for selecting one item; no options menu |
selection grid | permanent state; can be left pending, options menu |
| is available |
markable grid | a selection grid with the marking function |
There are no grid types corresponding to a multiselection list, a setting list or a form.
Find pane
Find pane is a component intended to help find items in a list. The find pane is situated in the bottom part of the main pane.
