Detailed Description

Container view for a collection of views organized in a grid.

This class is a convencience class, that creates a BView with a BGridView set up by default.

You place views in the grid in a table-like structure, that consists of rows and columns. It is not required to put views in every cell in the table. By default, the view has the default system grey background.

See also

BGridLayout for more information on how and when to use this type of container.

BGridView() [3/3]

BGridView::BGridView

(

BMessage *

from

)

Constructs a BGridView from an archive message.

This method is usually not called directly, if you want to build a grid view from an archived message you should call Instantiate() instead because it can handle errors properly.

Parameters

from	The BMessage that contains the grid view.
