Splitting rows in an iterator

Question

Hi all,
I have an iterator binded to an arraylist having 8 items.
Is it possible to display the items in two rows i.e 4 items in first row and next 4 items in second row.
ex : value1 value2 value3 value4
value5 value6 value7 value8
In the above way??
please help.
Thanks,
Hari

Hi,
that would not be possible with panelFormLayout, because it depends on order of your data.... and panelFormLayout arranges in top down approach column wise..
Perhaps if af:panelFormLayout also allowed developers to define the stamping order then it would be more better......
see if this helps.. perhaps you need to struggle with alignment.
<af:iterator varStatus="vs" var="row">
         <af:switcher facetName="#{vs.index % 4 == 0 ? 'lineBreak' : 'content'}">
          <f:facet name="lineBreak">
            <af:panelGroupLayout>
                <br/>
                <af:outputText value="#{row.value}" />
            </af:panelGroupLayout>
          </f:facet>
          <f:facet name="content">
           <af:panelGroupLayout>
                <af:outputText value="#{row.value}" />
            </af:panelGroupLayout>
          </f:facet>
         </af:switcher>
        </af:iterator>
