Class SelectBox<T>

com.badlogic.gdx.scenes.scene2d.ui.SelectBox<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Disableable, Layout

public class SelectBox<T>
extends Widget
implements Disableable

A select box (aka a drop-down list) allows a user to choose one of a number of values from a list. When inactive, the selected value is displayed. When activated, it shows the list of values that may be selected.

ChangeListener.ChangeEvent is fired when the selectbox selection changes.

The preferred size of the select box is determined by the maximum text bounds of the items and the size of the SelectBox.SelectBoxStyle.background.

layout

public void layout()

Description copied from interface: Layout

Computes and caches any information needed for drawing and, if this actor has children, positions and sizes each child, calls Layout.invalidate() any each child whose width or height has changed, and calls Layout.validate() on each child. This method should almost never be called directly, instead Layout.validate() should be used.

Specified by:

Overrides:

layout in class Widget

draw

public void draw(Batch batch,
        float parentAlpha)

Description copied from class: Widget

If this method is overridden, the super method or Widget.validate() should be called to ensure the widget is laid out.
