Use of named textareas
Every button has a default textarea, buttontext but in addition you can define an infinite number of textareas which can be referred to by name in SetText() e.g.
m_buttonList->SetText("This is the default textarea");
m_buttonList->SetText("This is column one", "column1");
m_buttonList->SetText("This is column two", "column2");
I suggest giving them more meaningful names, i.e. If they display name and description of a video then "title", "description" would be clearer to the themer.
Examples
Simple Multi-column list
<buttonlist2 name="column_example" from="basebuttonlist2">
<area>x,y,w,h</area>
<spacing>2</spacing>
<layout>vertical</layout>
<buttonarea>x2,y2,w2,h2</buttonarea>
<statetype name="buttonitem">
<state name="active">
<statetype name="buttoncheck">
<position>2,2</position>
</statetype>
<textarea name="column1">
<area>25,0,100,30</area>
<font>fonta</font>
</textarea>
<textarea name="column2" from="column1">
<area>135,0,100,30</area>
</textarea>
</state>
<state name="selected" from="active">
<textarea name="column1">
<font>fontb</font>
</textarea>
<textarea name="column2" from="column1" /> <!-- Picks up font change in selected state -->
</state>
</statetype>
</buttonlist2>
N.B. This example inherits from basebuttonlist which saves us defining the checkbox images, fonts, arrows etc. These can all be overridden.
Image Grid
<buttonlist2 name="iamgegrid_example" from="basebuttonlist2">
<area>x,y,w,h</area>
<spacing>5</spacing>
<layout>grid</layout>
<buttonarea>x2,y2,w2,h2</buttonarea>
<statetype name="buttonitem">
<state name="active">
<imagetype name="buttonimage">
<area>10,10,150,150</area>
</imagetype>
</state>
<state name="selected" from="active">
<imagetype name="buttonimage">
<area>-20,-20,220,220</area> <!-- Enlarged selected image, overlaps neighbouring images -->
</imagetype>
</state>
</statetype>
</buttonlist2>
