Boost Usability with Visual Selection in JS Apps

January 22, 2024
Image ListBox controls improve user experience and aesthetics by offering visual cues to aid in item selection.

Image listboxes transcend the limitations of traditional listboxes by incorporating image previews alongside textual labels. This creates an intuitive browsing experience, enabling users to quickly identify and select an option with visual cues. This is particularly useful for applications where visual selection enhances the user experience, such as choosing products in an e-commerce platform or selecting avatars in user profiles. It combines the clarity of images with the efficiency of a listbox to streamline selection processes.

Several JavaScript data editor collections provide image listbox capabilities including:

  • DevExtreme Complete Data Editors (part of DevExtreme by DevExpress) allows you to integrate thumbnails and icons directly into list items, streamlining user selection.
  • Kendo UI for jQuery Editors (part of Kendo UI by Telerik) lets you create templates to customize the display of each list item with text and images.
  • Wijmo Input and Editors (part of Wijmo by MESCIUS) includes a customizable ListBox which can display images next to items to facilitate informed user selection.
  • Smart HTML Elements Data Editors The Smart.ListBox control displays rows containing customizable tiles that can contain text with icons/images or avatars.
