I just want to know if I am using the right TouchGFX tools.

Working on designing a chat application on STM32 chip. I am using a List Layout inside a scrollable container to implement the incoming/outgoing chat messages. Is this the right path, I am mean using List Layout and Scrollable container? Or there are other options?

​That depends on what you're trying to achieve, but if you're trying to present a list of messsages in a scrollable list, then i'd say you're on the right track :)

Thank you @Martin KJELDSEN​ 

That's the basic goal, with features similar to a typical chat app(iPhone, Android, Facebook-Messenger):

1- be able to be able to go from a full screen display of message, to partial display while a keyboard is shown

2- go in/out of the full/partial screen mode

3- ability to switch between longitudinal / latitudinal keyboard

4- delete a message

5- side drag to display meta-data

Do these features require using other routes in terms of tools(List Layout and Scrollable container)?
