Application with icons rather than list in the screen!

Hello,

I'm a new BB application developer . My question is:  does anyone of you guys know how to develop an application with icons in the screen rather than a  list. Something similar to the BB main screen where you can scroll between the icons and not go up and down in the list. 

 

Thanks.

Re: Application with icons rather than list in the screen!

welcome to the support forums.

you can take a look here:

there is a bitmap button field. other devs (like me) have used bitmapfield as a base class and added event handling (like navigationclick, keyChar etc).

regarding the layout you can look at gridfieldmanager, but there are lots of options depending on your requirements.
