How to disable a drop-down list?

How-to
#1

Hi,

Is it possible to set the drop-down list to disabled so that it won’t open when clicked?

Description

What MCU/Processor/Board and compiler are you using?

ESP32 with micropython

What do you want to achieve?

I want to set the drop-down list to disabled so that it won’t open when clicked.

What have you tried so far?

set_click to false

Code to reproduce

ddlist.set_click(False)

Thanks,
Kaiyuan

The work around I can think of is to set the event callback to manually close the drop-down list whenever the ddlist is pressed or clicked. But I was wondering if there’s better solution.

I would also expect set_click to work. Let me try it and get back to you.

The patch has been merged to master, so you should be able to pull the latest version of that branch and it will include the fix.

yes, I did and it worked very well. thanks a ton!!

I just noticed that set_click is gone in lvgl 8. How is this achieved in lvgl >= 8 ?

Try this:

lv_obj_add_flag(obj, LV_OBJ_FLAG_CLICKABLE);    // enable click
lv_obj_clear_flag(obj, LV_OBJ_FLAG_CLICKABLE);  // disable click

That works. Thanks!

Let me please continue this topic a little. I spent a whole bunch of time to find the answer.

As to version LVGL 7.11.0 (and 7.9.1 and maybe earlier) next link is the only way I could find the solution:
set state LV_STATE_DISABLED by lv_obj_add_state () and clear it by lv_obj_clear_state ()

Hope this can help to someone.
