Hello I have used the webcontrol component to render my UI and it works nicely, but sometimes it hangs (at random) the application.
So I will try to do a really simple browser functionality with the use of the juce components.
My first need is to render a list (vertical) of components with different heights (think of a list of divs), is there something that I can use for that?
TreeView would do the trick. TreeViewItem has virtual int TreeViewItem::getItemHeight() To make it look like a normal list you’d have to set setLinesDrawnForSubItems(false), setRootItemVisible(false), and setIndentSize(0).
Wow. Even a simple browser is quite a task! TBH I’d advise just using a completely custom component - you could waste a lot of time trying to bend a treeview or table or whatever to do what you need when it might have been quicker just to write it all yourself.
And let the BoxLayout handle the positioning of the child controls (and add scrollbars if needed).
Of course if I add a BoxLayout inside antoher it should work. And if a control inside a BoxLayout grows/shrinks it should also be handled.
I will look into the treeview and see if I can just extract the needed parts to make a BoxLayout component.
