Scene Graph: Display different contents in same list

I have a requirement to display different types of contents in single row with horizontal scrolling. The content would be similar to the screenshot linked. Pls suggest how can I achieve this in Roku. Can I make a LayoutGroup as scrollable?

I believe you're looking for a fixedLayout MarkupGrid.

I dont think MarkupGrid fits since it asks for single itemComponentName which would be same for all items. But in my case the items have different layout. Can I have MarkupGrid to display different layout for each item?

You'd put the layout logic in the component. If the layouts are significantly different, then you could just write a wrapper component that hosts multiple other component and displays the one that is relevant to the content.

Endless,

I too thought about the wrapper logic. But it is not suitable when I would have a list with many items say 8-10 items. My problem will be solved if there is something like scrollable layoutgroup.

I also have a need for this. Is this something that the Roku developers will take a look at, or is this something that we're going to have to implement ourselves (by extending etc.)?
