CellList grid

[noach]

Is there a way to display elements of a cell list in a grid format?
For example, if there were 8 items, the cells might be arranged as
follows:

Item1 Item4 Item7
Item2 Item5 Item8
Item3 Item6

It's a bit of a hack, but since the cell list is just a list of Divs, you can use the CSS3 columns (but watch out, IE9 doesn't support this, and only the most recent version of opera does)

public void setColumns(int columns) {

    if(columns < 1) columns = 1;

    Style style = cellList.getElement().getStyle();

    String cols = String.valueOf(columns);

    /* You could used deferred binding here if you weren't lazy */

    style.setProperty("MozColumnCount", cols);

    style.setProperty("WebkitColumnCount", cols);

    style.setProperty("columnCount", cols);

}

public void setColumnPadding(int width) {

    if(width < 0) width = 0;

    Style style = cellList.getElement().getStyle();

    style.setProperty("MozColumnGap", width, Style.Unit.PX);

    style.setProperty("WebkitColumnGap", width, Style.Unit.PX);

    style.setProperty("columnGap", width, Style.Unit.PX);

}
