A list pane is a list of buttons. An option pane is a single button that, when pressed, pops up a menu of selections.
Summary: The class that implements an abstract list pane. It is a subclass of value-gadget .
Summary: Either :one-of or :some-of . When it is :one-of , the list pane acts like a radio box; that is, only one item can be selected. When it is :some-of (the default), zero or more items can be selected at a time.
Summary: The :items initarg specifies a sequence of items to use as the items of the list pane. The name of the item is extracted by the function that is the value of the :name-key initarg, which defaults to princ-to-string . The value of the item is extracted by the function that is the value of the :value-key initarg, which defaults to identity . The :test initarg specifies a function of two argument that is used to compare items; it defaults to eql . For example:
:items '("Lisp" "Fortran" "C" "C++" "Cobol" "Ada")
