# Base object (lv_obj)
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The 'Base Object' implements the basic properties of widgets on a screen, such as:
|
|
- coordinates
|
|
- parent object
|
|
- children
|
|
- contains the styles
|
|
- attributes like *Clickable*, *Scrollable*, etc.
|
|
|
|
In object-oriented thinking, it is the base class from which all other objects in LVGL are inherited.
|
|
|
|
The functions and functionalities of the Base object can be used with other widgets too. For example `lv_obj_set_width(slider, 100)`
|
|
|
|
The Base object can be directly used as a simple widget: it's nothing more than a rectangle. In HTML terms, think of it as a `<div>`.
|
|
|
|
### Coordinates
|
|
|
|
Only a small subset of coordinate settings is described here. To see all the features of LVGL (padding, coordinates in styles, layouts, etc) visit the [Coordinates](/overview/coords) page.
|
|
|
|
#### Size
|
|
The object size can be modified on individual axes with `lv_obj_set_width(obj, new_width)` and `lv_obj_set_height(obj, new_height)`, or both axes can be modified at the same time with `lv_obj_set_size(obj, new_width, new_height)`.
|
|
|
|
#### Position
|
|
You can set the position relative to the parent with `lv_obj_set_x(obj, new_x)` and `lv_obj_set_y(obj, new_y)`, or both axes at the same time with `lv_obj_set_pos(obj, new_x, new_y)`.
|
|
|
|
#### Alignment
|
|
You can align the object on its parent with `lv_obj_set_align(obj, LV_ALIGN_...)`. After this every x and y setting will be relative to the set alignment mode.
|
|
For example, this will shift the object by 10;20 px from the center of its parent:
|
|
```c
|
|
lv_obj_set_align(obj, LV_ALIGN_CENTER);
|
|
lv_obj_set_pos(obj, 10, 20);
|
|
|
|
//Or in one function
|
|
lv_obj_align(obj, LV_ALIGN_CENTER, 10, 20);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To align one object to another use: `lv_obj_align_to(obj_to_align, obj_referece, LV_ALIGN_..., x, y)`
|
|
|
|
For example, to align a text below an image: `lv_obj_align_to(text, image, LV_ALIGN_OUT_BOTTOM_MID, 0, 10)`.
|
|
|
|
The following align types exist:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Parents and children
|
|
You can set a new parent for an object with `lv_obj_set_parent(obj, new_parent)`. To get the current parent, use `lv_obj_get_parent(obj)`.
|
|
|
|
To get a specific child of a parent use `lv_obj_get_child(parent, idx)`. Some examples for `idx`:
|
|
- `0` get the child created first
|
|
- `1` get the child created second
|
|
- `-1` get the child created last
|
|
|
|
The children can be iterated lke this:
|
|
```c
|
|
uint32_t i;
|
|
for(i = 0; i < lv_obj_get_child_cnt(parent); i++) {
|
|
lv_obj_t * child = lv_obj_get_child(parent, i);
|
|
/*Do something with child*/
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`lv_obj_get_index(obj)` returns the index of the object in its parent. It is equivalent to the number of younger children in the parent.
|
|
|
|
You can bring an object to the foreground or send it to the background with `lv_obj_move_foreground(obj)` and `lv_obj_move_background(obj)`.
|
|
|
|
You can change the index of an object in its parent using `lv_obj_move_to_index(obj, index)`.
|
|
|
|
You can swap the position of two objects with `lv_obj_swap(obj1, obj2)`.
|
|
|
|
### Display and Screens
|
|
|
|
At the highest level of the LVGL object hierarchy is the *display* which represents the driver for a display device (physical display or simulator). A display can have one or more screens associated with it. Each screen contains a hierarchy of objects for graphical widgets representing a layout that covers the entire display.
|
|
|
|
When you have created a screen like `lv_obj_t * screen = lv_obj_create(NULL)`, you can make it active with `lv_scr_load(screen)`. The `lv_scr_act()` function gives you a pointer to the active screen.
|
|
|
|
If you have multiple displays, it's important to know that the screen functions operate on the most recently created display or the one explicitly selected with `lv_disp_set_default`.
|
|
|
|
To get an object's screen use the `lv_obj_get_screen(obj)` function.
|
|
|
|
### Events
|
|
|
|
To set an event callback for an object, use `lv_obj_add_event_cb(obj, event_cb, LV_EVENT_..., user_data)`,
|
|
|
|
To manually send an event to an object, use `lv_event_send(obj, LV_EVENT_..., param)`
|
|
|
|
Read the [Event overview](/overview/event) to learn more about events.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Styles
|
|
Be sure to read the [Style overview](/overview/style). Here only the most essential functions are described.
|
|
|
|
A new style can be added to an object with the `lv_obj_add_style(obj, &new_style, selector)` function.
|
|
`selector` is an ORed combination of part and state(s). E.g. `LV_PART_SCROLLBAR | LV_STATE_PRESSED`.
|
|
|
|
The base objects use `LV_PART_MAIN` style properties and `LV_PART_SCROLLBAR` with the typical background style properties.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Flags
|
|
There are some attributes which can be enabled/disabled by `lv_obj_add/clear_flag(obj, LV_OBJ_FLAG_...)`:
|
|
|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_HIDDEN` Make the object hidden. (Like it wasn't there at all)
|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_CLICKABLE` Make the object clickable by input devices
|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_CLICK_FOCUSABLE` Add focused state to the object when clicked
|
|

|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_SCROLL_CHAIN_HOR` Allow propagating the horizontal scroll to a parent
|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_SCROLL_CHAIN_VER` Allow propagating the vertical scroll to a parent
|
|

|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_SCROLL_WITH_ARROW` Allow scrolling the focused object with arrow keys
|
|

|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_EVENT_BUBBLE` Propagate the events to the parent too
|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_GESTURE_BUBBLE` Propagate the gestures to the parent
|
|

|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_IGNORE_LAYOUT` Make the object positionable by the layouts
|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_FLOATING` Do not scroll the object when the parent scrolls and ignore layout
|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_OVERFLOW_VISIBLE` Do not clip the children's content to the parent's boundary
|
|
|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_LAYOUT_1` Custom flag, free to use by layouts
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_USER_2` Custom flag, free to use by user
|
|
- `LV_OBJ_FLAG_USER_3` Custom flag, free to use by user

Some examples:
|
|
```c
|
|
/*Hide on object*/
|
|
lv_obj_add_flag(obj, LV_OBJ_FLAG_HIDDEN);
|
|
|
|
/*Make an object non-clickable*/
|
|
lv_obj_clear_flag(obj, LV_OBJ_FLAG_CLICKABLE);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Groups
|
|
|
|
Read the [Input devices overview](/overview/indev) to learn more about *Groups*.
|
|
|
|
Objects are added to a *group* with `lv_group_add_obj(group, obj)`, and you can use `lv_obj_get_group(obj)` to see which group an object belongs to.
|
|
|
|
`lv_obj_is_focused(obj)` returns if the object is currently focused on its group or not. If the object is not added to a group, `false` will be returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Extended click area
|
|
By default, the objects can be clicked only within their bounding area. However, this can be extended with `lv_obj_set_ext_click_area(obj, size)`.
|
|
|
|
## Events
|
|
- `LV_EVENT_VALUE_CHANGED` when the `LV_OBJ_FLAG_CHECKABLE` flag is enabled and the object clicked (on transition to/from the checked state)
|
|
- `LV_EVENT_DRAW_PART_BEGIN` and `LV_EVENT_DRAW_PART_END` is sent for the following types:
|
|
- `LV_OBJ_DRAW_PART_RECTANGLE` The main rectangle
|
|
- `part`: `LV_PART_MAIN`
|
|
- `rect_dsc`
|
|
- `draw_area`: the area of the rectangle
|
|
- `LV_OBJ_DRAW_PART_BORDER_POST` The border if the `border_post` style property is `true`
|
|
- `part`: `LV_PART_MAIN`
|
|
- `rect_dsc`
|
|
- `draw_area`: the area of the rectangle
|
|
- `LV_OBJ_DRAW_PART_SCROLLBAR` the scrollbars
|
|
- `part`: `LV_PART_SCROLLBAR`
|
|
- `rect_dsc`
|
|
- `draw_area`: the area of the rectangle
|

## Keys
|
|
If `LV_OBJ_FLAG_CHECKABLE` is enabled, `LV_KEY_RIGHT` and `LV_KEY_UP` make the object checked, and `LV_KEY_LEFT` and `LV_KEY_DOWN` make it unchecked.
|
|
|
|
If `LV_OBJ_FLAG_SCROLLABLE` is enabled, but the object is not editable (as declared by the widget class), the arrow keys (`LV_KEY_UP`, `LV_KEY_DOWN`, `LV_KEY_LEFT`, `LV_KEY_RIGHT`) scroll the object. If the object can only scroll vertically, `LV_KEY_LEFT` and `LV_KEY_RIGHT` will scroll up/down instead, making it compatible with an encoder input device. See [Input devices overview](/overview/indev) for more on encoder behaviors and the edit mode.
