When executed, the code produces the following list:
How it works...
The
ListView
control allows you to arrange and display data in a vertical list. This
control makes available several properties, including
selectedIndex
and
selectedItem,
to access the currently selected item in the list. The
ListView
class also exposes the
items:Object[]
property as the list's data model displayed in the
List
instance. In
our example, we dynamically generate the data model as a sequence of 50 strings using
a
for-loop
expression and assign that sequence directly to the list's
items
property.
As of version 1.2, the
ListView
component only displays textual items in
the list. The component does not allow you to use, say, a Node class as its
model. Therefore, you cannot create custom lists that display non-textual
items. This will certainly be improved in future versions.
