MUI List Format *************** MUI has the ability to handle multi column lists. To define how many columns should be displayed and how they should be formatted, you specify a format string. This format string must contain one entry for each column you want to see. Entries are separated by commas with each line parsed via dos.library/ReadArgs(). The template for a single entry looks like this: DELTA=D/N, PREPARSE=P/K, WEIGHT=W/N, MINWIDTH=MIW/N, MAXWIDTH=MAW/N, COL=C/N, BAR/S * DELTA - Space in pixel between this column and the next. the last displayed column ignores this setting. Defaults to 4. * PREPARSE - A preparse value for this column. Setting this e.g. to '\033c' would make the column centered (see MUI Format Sequences). * WEIGHT - The weight of the column. As with MUI's group class, columns are layouted with a minimum size, a maximum size and weight. A column with a weight of 200 would gain twice the space than a column with a weight of 100. Defaults to 100. * MINWIDTH - Minimum percentage width for the current column. If your list is 200 pixel wide and you set this to 25, your column will at least be 50 pixel. The special value -1 for this parameter means that the minimum width is as wide as the widest entry in this column. This ensures that every entry will be completely visible (as long as the list is wide enough). Defaults to -1. * MAXWIDTH - Maximum percentage width for the current column. If your list is 200 pixel wide and you set this to 25, your column will not be wider as 50 pixel. The special value -1 for this parameter means that the maximum width is as wide as the widest entry in this column. Defaults to -1. * COL - This value adjusts the number of the current column. This allows you to adjust the order of your columns. Defaults to current entry number (0,1,...) * BAR - Since muimaster.library V11, you can enable a vertical bar between this and the next column by using this switch. If your list object gets so small there is not enough place for the minwidth of a column, this column will be hidden completely and the remaining space is distributed between the remaining columns. This is not true if the column is the first column, in this case the entries will simply be clipped. Note: You will have as many columns in your list as entries in the format string (i.e. number of commas + 1). Empty entries, e.g. with a format string of ",,,," are perfectly ok. The default list format is an empty string (""), this means a one column list without special formatting. For a dirlist object the column data, starting at column zero (0), is the file name, size, date, time, protection, and comment.
