<p>This feature displays text when Better ListView is empty (does not
|
||
contain any items and groups).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>A typical use case is file browser, showing "This folder is empty."
|
||
text when there are no files to display.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Better ListView can display such arbitrary text with custom font and
|
||
color.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The text can be of multiple lines and is automatically trimmed if
|
||
there is not enough space.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="images"><img src="empty-text.png"></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>To add an empty text, simply set the <span class="code">EmptyText</span> property
|
||
value. You can simply pass a value of type <span class="code">String</span> (there is an
|
||
implicit conversion defined) or <span class="code">BetterListViewEmptyText</span> (which
|
||
allows for settings custom font and color).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>An explicit conversion of <span class="code">BetterListViewEmptyText</span> to
|
||
<span class="code">String</span> is also defined.</p>
