Hoversel

This feature is supported in mobile applications only.

The hoversel component is a button that pops up a list of items (automatically choosing the direction to display).

The hoversel component inherits from the button component, which means that button functions can be used on the hoversel component.

For more information, see the Hoversel API.

Adding a Hoversel Component

To create a hoversel component, use the elm_hoversel_add() function:

Evas_Object *hoversel;
Evas_Object *parent;

/* Create a hoversel */
hoversel = elm_hoversel_add(parent);

When activated, the hoversel automatically selects the direction in which to display itself in its parent object’s view.

Configuring the Hoversel

To configure the hoversel:

• Set the hoversel orientation using the elm_hoversel_horizontal_set() function.

  In Tizen, the horizontal mode is not provided for the hoversel. You must set the hoversel to the vertical mode:

  elm_hoversel_horizontal_set(hoversel, EINA_FALSE);
  

• Set the hover parent with the elm_hoversel_hover_parent_set() function.

  The hoversel creates a hover component and puts a list of items in the hover when it is activated. The hover parent determines the area where the item list can be shown. The hover parent does not need to be the same as the hoversel parent.

  Evas_Object *hoversel;
  Evas_Object *parent;
  Evas_Object *win;
  
  hoversel = elm_hoversel_add(parent);
  
  elm_hoversel_hover_parent_set(hoversel, win);
  

• Activate the hoversel.

  The hoversel can be activated by a click or calling the elm_hoversel_hover_begin() function. To deactivate it, click an item, click outside the item list, or call the elm_hoversel_hover_end() function.

  elm_hoversel_hover_begin(hoversel);
  elm_hoversel_hover_end(hoversel);
  

• Retrieve the hoversel activation state (as a Boolean value) using the elm_hoversel_expanded_get() function:

  Eina_Bool expanded;
  expanded = elm_hoversel_expanded_get(hoversel);
  

Managing the Hoversel Items

The hoversel component can contain items that have a label. Even though parameters for an icon are defined in the elm_hoversel_item_add() function, the hoversel item icon is not supported in Tizen.

To manage items:

1. Add an item using the elm_hoversel_item_add() function.

   To add an item with a “test” label and the _hoversel_item_cb clicked callback:

   Elm_Object_Item *it;
   
   it = elm_hoversel_item_add(hoversel, /* Hoversel object */
                       "test", /* Item label */
                        NULL, /* Icon file */
                        ELM_ICON_NONE, /* Icon type */
                        _hoversel_item_cb, /* Clicked callback for the item */
                        NULL); /* Callback data */
   

The signal for the clicked callback is related to an individual item, not the entire hoversel.

2. Retrieve the handles for the added items using the elm_hoversel_items_get() function.

   The function returns a list of Elm_Object_Item items.

   Eina_List *items;
   items = elm_hoversel_items_get(hoversel);
   

3. Change the item label using the elm_object_item_part_text_set() function.

   To change the item label to “New Label”:

   Elm_Object_Item *it = elm_hoversel_item_add(hoversel, "test", NULL, ELM_ICON_NONE, NULL, NULL);
   elm_object_item_part_text_set(it, "default", "New label");
   

4. Delete all items together with the elm_hoversel_clear() function:

   elm_hoversel_clear(hoversel);
   

Callbacks

You can register callback functions connected to the following signals for a hoversel object.

Table: Hoversel callback signals

Note

The signal list in the API reference can be more extensive, but only the above signals are actually supported in Tizen.

The following example shows how to define and register a callback for the dismissed signal:

evas_object_smart_callback_add(hoversel, "dismissed", dismissed_cb, data);

/* Callback for the "dismissed" signal */
/* Called when the hoversel is dismissed */
void
dismissed_cb(void *data, Evas_Object *obj, void *event_info)
{
    dlog_print(DLOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, "Hoversel dismissed\n");
}
