NAME
- AllocLBColumnInfoA
-
Allocate column info array. (V45)
SYNOPSIS
struct ColumnInfo *AllocLBColumnInfoA(UWORD cols,
struct ColumnInfo *AllocLBColumnInfo(UWORD cols, Tag tag1, ...);
FUNCTION
Allocates a ColumnInfo array that can be passed to the list browser via the LISTBROWSER_ColumnInfo tag. This is a future friendly way of allocating and initializing the ColumnInfo array.
TAGS
See SetLBColumnInfoAttrsA() for the list of supported tags. AllocLBColumnInfoA() supports the following additional tags:
- LBCIA_MemPool (APTR)
-
Specifies a custom memory pool to allocate ColumnInfo structs from.
Defaults to NULL (internal pool).
INPUTS
- cols
-
How many columns your ListBrowser has.
- tags
-
A tag list of attributes to set.
RESULT
Returns a pointer to the ColumnInfo array or NULL on error.
NOTES
The use of the LBCIA_MemPool tag is strongly discouraged because no arbitration mechanism for safely allocating/freeing memory from the supplied pool is available in AmigaOS versions prior to AmigaOS4. This feature was never ever safe to use on AmigaOS versions 2.x through 3.x!
