Description

An item can provide its own callbacks to override those specified in its enclosing collection , and can also provide some data to get passed to those callbacks.

An item is printed in the collection by print-collection-item. By default this returns a string using item 's text if specified, or else calls a print function on the item's data . The print-function will either be the one specified in the item, or else the print-function for its parent collection.

The selected slot in an item is non-nil if the item is currently selected. The accessor item-selected is provided to access and to set this value.

Example

(defun main-callback (data interface)

  (capi:display-message "Main callback: ~S"

                        data))

(defun item-callback (data interface)

  (capi:display-message "Item callback: ~S"

                        data))

(capi:contain (make-instance

                'capi:list-panel

                :items (list

                         (make-instance

                          'capi:item

                          :text "Item"

                          :data '(some data)

                          :selection-callback 

                           'item-callback)
