# Set(list ... ) and Set(iconlist ... ) commands

This command used to create and manage lists which will be shown on the phone screen. This could be useful to manage player playlists or to browse directory structure. The iconlist can contain icons in front of each list item.

To see an example please take a look at `cfg-data/Server-mode/exampleList.cfg` file.

## Format

Set(list,add|replace|clear|show|close,caption,title, _list_data_) or

Set(list,caption|fg|bg|font|select|icon, _data_)

Set(list,dir,caption,_directory_)

Set(iconlist,add|replace|clear|show|close,caption,title, _list_data_) or

Set(iconlist,caption|fg|bg|font|select, _data_)

Set(iconlist,dir,caption,_directory_)

## Usage

### Set(list,add|replace|dir ...)

Command Set(list,add|replace ...) used to add or replace content of the existing list. Updated list will be shown on screen.

    1=Set(list,replace,Commands,uptime,whoami)
    2=Set(list,add,SAME,reboot,poweroff)
    3=ExecAndSet(list,add,SAME,cat /tmp/some_file.txt)

Command Set(list,dir ...) used to replace content of the existing list with directory listing.

    1=Set(list,dir,FILES,/tmp)

The word SAME can be used instead of title if there are no needs to change existing list title.

If Set(iconlist, ...) command is used, then each list item should be in form "icon_name:list_item_text":

    1=Set(iconlist,replace,Commands,question:uptime,ok:whoami)

### Set(list,show)

Command Set(list,show) used to show existing list.

    2=Set(list,show)

### Set(list,clear)

Command Set(list,clear) used to clear existing list.

    3=Set(list,clear)

### Set(list,close)

Command Set(list,close) used to close existing list. If list is closed, then control (main) screen of the client will be shown.

    Back($$)=Set(list,close)

### Set(list,select ...)

Note: Supported in J2ME client only

Command Set(list,select,_index_) used to select in list item with specified index. Items numbering starts from 1.

    4=Set(list,select,1)

### Set(list,caption ...)

Command Set(list,caption,new_caption) sets the caption of the list.

    5=Set(list,caption,Playlist)

### Set(list,icon ...)

Command Set(list,icon,icon_name|none) used to set or reset default list icon.

    6=Set(list,icon,ok)
    7=Set(list,icon,none)

### Set(list,fg|bg ...)

Command Set(list,fg|bg,#XXXXXX|R,G,B) used to set foregroung or background colors, where:

- #XXXXXX is hexadecimal representation of the color
- R, G, B are decimal integer values beetween 0 and 255

    8=Set(list,fg,255,255,255)
    9=Set(list,fg,#FFFFFF)

### Set(list,font ...)

Command Set(list,font [,small | medium | large] [,bold] [,italic] [,underlined] [,system | monospace | proportional]) used to set font parameters. Java realization in the phone could support only some subset of fonts which can be specified by this command.

    0=Set(list,font,medium,bold,proportinal)

### Adding menu items

It is possible to add custom made menu by Set(menu ...) command. If user chooses ListItemX in list and then chooses MenuItemY in menu then reply MenuItemY(index_of_ListItemX_in_list,ListItemX) will be issued. According to the screenshot above the GoTo(1,..) command will be issued.

## Additional

There are several things which needs to be pointed out:

Commands Set(list,add|replace|select|show,...) will switch current screen if needed to show list content. Overwise commands Set(list,fg|bg|font|icon|clear,...) will not switch the current screen.

List items numbering starts with 1.

All '\r' characters in results of execution of command ExecAndSet(list|iconlist,add|replace,_title_, ...) command will be replaced with comma (',') on the client's side. So, it is possible to show commas (,) inside list items.

By default list menu contains item Back only.

Also, in any menu created with Set(menu ...) item Back will be added automatically.

If user pushes center joystick button then message Push(...) will be generated.

To handle events on server side it needs to use lines like:

    MenuItemX($$)=Some_command

The list element value and the list element index will be substituted with the $(Param) and $(Index) variables:

    Choose($$)=Exec(xmmsctrl track $(Index))
    Choose($$)=Exec(kdialog --msgbox "Current track is $(Param)")

It is possible to overcome substitution of the $(Param) and $(Index) variables with explicit specification of event. For example if Choose(1,Reboot) event is send from the client, then two next lines will be equivalent and each of them will match that event.

    Choose(1)=Exec(kdialog --msgbox \
           "User choose REBOOT (match by index)")
    Choose(Reboot)=Exec(kdialog --msgbox \
           "User choose REBOOT (match by value)")

As it was written above, "Back" menu item is added automatically, but it is user responsibility to handle corresponding events on server side. In general it could be done like this:

    Back($$)=Set(list,close)

## Autoscrolling of long lines

Note: Supported in J2ME client only

If a list item is too long to be shown in full, it will be autoscrolled when it will be under cursor. It it possible to switch on/off autoscrolling by pressing "0" key at the phone's keypad.

## Using special keys

Note: Supported in J2ME client only

Keypad
1 Move to first item | 2 | 3 Page Up
4 | 5 | 6
7 Move to last item | 8 | 9 Page Down
* | 0 Toggle autoscrolling | #
