SimpleGroup

A plain container that just groups widgets, with no decoration of its own.

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

Widget type: SimpleGroup

Methods

SimpleGroup adds no methods of its own; use the common container methods.

The content region fills the group's frame exactly (no insets, no border, no title). On acquire, the group defaults to 300×100. When its layout finishes, the group automatically sizes its height to match the content height 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"). Because the content region exactly matches the frame, SimpleGroup is the lightest way to nest a sub-layout inside another container. Height automatically grows to fit content unless noAutoHeight is set.

Example

local group = AceGUI:Create("SimpleGroup")
group:SetFullWidth(true)
group:SetLayout("Flow")

local label = AceGUI:Create("Label")
label:SetText("Grouped content")
label:SetFullWidth(true)
group:AddChild(label)
