Hi all
I’ve been away from Corona a little while and I’m trying to create a basic table list but it will only ever hold 8 rows so I do not need or want it to scroll. But I do want to be able to select and highlight the rows like tableView allows etc. I just want it to remain static.
Is there a simple way of doing this that I’ve forgotten?
Thanks in advance…

Do you mean a table list as is produced using tableView? The point of that is that you get a scrolling container of multiple groups. It sounds like what you want is simply a collection of buttons. Using a functionally limited tableView souns like overkill. [import]uid: 8271 topic_id: 29860 reply_id: 119730[/import]
That’s perfect horacebury, just what I wanted to hear. I was thinking of doing a collection of buttons but thought it was somehow TOO basic (for want of a better word), and wondered if there was a “smarter” way. seems I was making it more difficult than needed.
The quantity of rows will always stay the same, only the items in the list will change at random (like a shops stock levels, it has set number of shelves but the items on them can change), just wanted to clarify the best way to create the table/list itself.
Thanks for taking time to help, it’s much appreciated and reassuring to know a Pro would take that route too.

For whatever reason, Corona hasn’t correctly updated the documentation for the TableViews in their new doc system, but you can find the older better complete documentation here:

You can use tableview.isLocked to keep the tableview from scrolling

Great, ok that would be pretty cool. I figured if I just called table view in first instance it might be quicker than having to write code for buttons. I’ll have a look at that too then, but at least I can do a work around at very least.
Thanks loads for the link it will be most useful! [import]uid: 131622 topic_id: 29860 reply_id: 119753[/import]
