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
selection grid
markable grid
There are no grid types corresponding to a multiselection list, a setting list or a form.
