Vertically split a form [message #23238]

Is it possible to vertically split a form? From all what I've found on
the internet it isn't. I'd like to display two Choicegroups in a form.
One to left (1/3) and one to te right (2/3). That would be a great
enhancement for my UI. The strings to choose are short so it would fit
into thes mallest display if possible.

TIA,
Hans

Hello Hans,

The behavior of high level widgets of the LCDUI are nativelly defined. So
I guess there is nothing you can do about it. A possible solution would be
to implement the UI inside a canvas.

Hello David,

as I've found out it IS possible to vertically split two choiceboxes.
The keyword is "Spacer". Here comes the code:

static ChoiceGroup base = new ChoiceGroup("Base", Choice.EXCLUSIVE);
static ChoiceGroup type = new ChoiceGroup("Type", Choice.EXCLUSIVE);
Spacer spacer = new Spacer(10,0);

int layout = Item.LAYOUT_2|Item.LAYOUT_TOP|Item.LAYOUT_EXPAND;

public InputSelectedForm(String title) {
super(title);

// populate the choiceboxes here

base.setLayout(layout);
type.setLayout(layout);
base.setSelectedIndex(0, true);
type.setSelectedIndex(0, true);

append(base);
append(spacer);
append(type);

addCommand(new Command("Cancel", Command.CANCEL, 1));
addCommand(new Command("OK", Command.OK, 1));
}
