InlineGroup

A container that draws a visible box with an optional title around its children.

Create with AceGUI:Create("InlineGroup"). This is a container; it inherits the Common Widget API and container methods (AddChild, SetLayout, ReleaseChildren, etc.).

Widget type: InlineGroup

Methods

SetTitle

method#

container:SetTitle(title)

Set the caption text shown above the box's border. On acquire the title is set to an empty string.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
title	string		The title string.

The group draws a bordered, shaded "box" (a PaneBackdrop) with the title rendered above it. On acquire, it defaults to 300×100. The content region is inset 10 px on each side within the border; the border itself is offset to leave 17 px at the top for the title. When its layout finishes, the group automatically sizes its height to the content height plus 40 px (to account for the title and border) unless self.noAutoHeight is set to a truthy value.

Callbacks

This container fires no callbacks of its own.

Layout notes

Like all containers, the group defaults to the "List" layout; switch with SetLayout (commonly "Flow"). Use InlineGroup when you want a labeled, visually-bounded section inside a larger container. Height automatically grows to fit content (+40 px) unless noAutoHeight is set.

Example

local group = AceGUI:Create("InlineGroup")
group:SetTitle("Options")
group:SetFullWidth(true)
group:SetLayout("Flow")

local check = AceGUI:Create("CheckBox")
check:SetLabel("Enable feature")
group:AddChild(check)
