Current SWT Table only provide the ability to show column headers. Table row headers with similar functionality and the same look and feel are also desired.
I'm not sure if the platforms have support for that. On Gtk a table header is a button, so in this case it won't make sense to have a TableHeader widget. Besides, I can't see a lot of use for a TableHeader widget. Have you tried using an empty Table (no scrollbars, no items, just the header) and resizing it so that only the header shows ? Would that solve the problem for you ?
I think Bianca is just asking for headers along the side of a table like you can have them along the top now. For example see the way an Excel spreadsheet looks or see: http://www.kupzog.de/fkmk/Downloads/KTable.pdf I could use this for an Olap viewer if both the column and row headers supported multiple levels. Right now we're stuck with a Swing control for that sort of thing. But luckily you can embed Swing in an SWT view.
The native table is not a spread sheet and does not support buttons down the side.
I didn't mean to imply it was a spreadsheet, just using that as an example people might be familiar with. Another example is the .Net DataGrid control. Row headers are a very common thing to try and implement, for example I believe Dave Orme's VirtualTable control (http://www.swtworkbench.com/devzone/edwiki.cgi/VirtualTable) does row headers, as do several commercial ActiveX and Windows Forms controls (for example from componentone). I wonder if GTK, Fox, or MacOS X have native support for this? It would likely be something that has to be emulated on the PC as you say.
Since there is no native support on Windows at least, odds are very low that we can do much about this. Veronika to add this to the collection of table bugzilla feature requests.
Hi! We are having the same problem. We have to develop the table row headers as similar as table column header. I understand that this bug is opened on 2004-11-29. Is that bug solved? For your information, we are using Eclipse 3.1. Thanking you in anticipation. With Regards Mahesh G P
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
