    Hi all,

    I'm trying to use a ListView as a prefab selection tool. I would like to have the preview images horizontally aligned(row) instead of vertical(column). I have tried playing with the style of the list container object but unfortunately I was not able to achieve any results.
    Is there a simple way to this?

    Thank you

    ListView currently only supports vertical (column) layout. You'll have to use a simpler ScrollView instead and implement any virtualization you need in there.

    Hi there. Doesn't the 2021.3.4f1 version also support horizontal layout?

    Hi @antoine-unity
    Really sorry to tag you like that, but if you could tell when we can expect horizontal layout for listview?

    Another vote here. It's an incredible amount of work to recreate all the ListView functionality in horizontal layout - particularly with drag & drop, multi-select, animations etc.
    Made so so much harder due to the prodigious use of private & internal and the move away from UITK as a package. Almost all because there are about 5 places where verticality is baked in that would be trivial to generalise with access to source. We upgraded to 2022.1 in the hopes that MultiColumnListView would help but it has since become clear this is meant for something very different. Any tips on how to implement are appreciated.

    And to save someone else the time… the great hack that I tried doesn’t work either. Should probably be reported as its own bug but: (not too surprisingly) rotating a ListView (and counter rotating the contents) can render ok but breaks expected reordering of elements - meaning drag and drop reordering always happens in y screen space no matter list orientation.

    Oh my gosh, I am shocked that horizontal ListView is still not a thing in UIToolkit!

    is there any alternative implementation that we could use? Anyone here made a workaround?

    Sadly, ScrollView is not an option for me because my list can contain thousands of entries, which would be too slow.

    It blows my mind this thing is still missing, even weirder thing is they have vertical but not horizontal, like it shouldn't be that hard to also implement horizontal when you have vertical. In GCD they talked about how they aim to make UI Toolkit recommended UI solution for runtime till 2023 LTS, wonder how this is going to play out
