The "container" component of the UI system's list functionality, which is composed fo three components: data source, container widget, and formatter.

The UIList acts as the conduit for list data to the UI. UIList knows nothing about the type of data it contains. It is responsible for tracking the number of elements it has, the size of each cell, handling input (including tracking which elements are selected, changing the selected element, etc.), adding and removing elements from the list, and passing data back and forth between the data source and the presenter components.

if TRUE, the schema fields assigned to each column/row will be rendered, rather than the actual data. Used primarily by the UI edtitor.

Property group 'List'

bAllowColumnResizing

Type: bool

Controls whether the user is allowed to resize the columns in this list.

Default value: True

bAllowDisabledItemSelection

Type: bool

Controls whether items which are "disabled" can be selected.

bEnableMultiSelect

Type: bool

Determines whether more than one item can be selected at the same time.

Todo: not yet implemented

bEnableVerticalScrollbar

Enums

ECellAutoSizeMode

Different ways to auto-size list cells

CELLAUTOSIZE_None 
(None in UnrealEd) Auto-sizing not enabled
CELLAUTOSIZE_Uniform 
(Uniform Fill in UnrealEd) Cells will be uniformly sized so that all cells can be displayed within the bounds of the list. The configured

cell size is ignored, and the bounds of the list are not adjusted.

CELLAUTOSIZE_Constrain 
(Best Fit in UnrealEd) Cells will be sized to fit their contents. The configured cell size is ignored, and the bounds of the list are

not adjusted.

CELLAUTOSIZE_AdjustList 
(Adjust List Bounds in UnrealEd) Cells will be sized to fit their contents. The configured cell size is ignored, and the bounds of the list are

adjusted to display all cells

ECellLinkType

Determines how the cells in this list are linked.

LINKED_None 
(Disabled in UnrealEd) no linking - one to one mapping between cells and elements
LINKED_Rows 
(Span Rows in UnrealEd) rows are linked; each column in the list will represent a single element; not yet implemented
LINKED_Columns 
(Span Columns in UnrealEd) columns are linked; each row in the list represents a single element

EListWrapBehavior

Determines how list elements are wrapped

LISTWRAP_None 
no wrapping (default); when the end of the list is reached, the user will not be able to scroll further
LISTWRAP_Smooth 
Smooth wrapping; if space is available after rendering the last element, starts over at the first element and

continues rendering elements until no more space is available.

Todo: not yet implemented

LISTWRAP_Jump 
Jump wrapping; list stops rendering at the last element, but if the user attempts to scroll past the end of the

list, the index jumps back to the opposite side of the list.

Structs

CellHitDetectionInfo

Modifiers: native, transient

Provides information about which cells the mouse is currently hovering over.

int HitColumn 
the column that was hit; INDEX_NONE if the location did not correspond to a valid column
int HitRow 
the row that was hit; INDEX_NONE if the location did not correspond to a valid row
int ResizeColumn 
if the hit location was within the region used for resizing a column, indicates the column that will be resized;
int ResizeRow 
if the hit location was within the region used for resizing a column, indicates the column that will be resized;
