# List (lv_list)

## Overview
The List is basically a rectangle with vertical layout to which Buttons and Texts can be added

## Parts and Styles

**Background**
- `LV_PART_MAIN` The main part of the list that uses all the typical background properties
- `LV_PART_SCROLLBAR` The scrollbar. See the [Base objects](/widgets/obj) documentation for details.

**Buttons and Texts**
See the [Button](/widgets/core/btn)'s and [Label](/widgets/core/label)'s documentation.

## Usage

### Buttons
`lv_list_add_btn(list, icon, text)` adds a full-width button with an icon - that can be an image or symbol - and a text.

The text starts to scroll horizontally if it's too long.

### Texts
`lv_list_add_text(list, text)` adds a text.


## Events
No special events are sent by the List, but sent by the Button as usual.
