[nebula-dev] Re: Fixed header row and contribution to the Nebula project
|
Hi Anders,
Sorry for the delay of my response. First of I'd be glad if I could help
you in any way to get this feature into Grid.
Last week I had a chance to talk to my customer and it looks like I get
contracted but I will start on an Grid-Extension some time in April. I
think this doesn't meet your time constraints.
I've updated the patch to make it apply to HEAD as Chris asked in the
bug but frankly I'm at this moment not the right person to talk to
because I don't fully understand the if my solution breaks with
assumptions made in Grid (it was the first time I took a look at Grid code).
What I did to get the header in was the following:
1. Searched how the Top-Header-Offset is done
2. Wherever this offset is used I simply added my artificial column
I will try to take a look tomorrow and see how I can improve the patch
but I think we need to wait for Chris to comment on how I'm doing things
because he really knows the 10.000 lines of code ;-)
I'd say we should work on the features step by step:
a) Integrate fixed header support
b) Integrate fixed footer support

Hi Tom.
I am sorry to bother you and I hope that it is ok that I write to you
directly. I am writing to you about the “fixed header row” feature of
the Grid widget that you have written about in the Nebula news group.
My company, Maconomy, really needs this feature so we would like to try
and implement it and contribute it back to the Nebula project. Hopefully
you will be willing to help and advise us.
In the news group message you write that your source is only a proof of
concept implementation. Can you explain to us how the real
implementation should be done? What should we change/improve in your
source code? What features are missing or should the solution be
conceptually different?
I found the page http://www.eclipse.org/nebula/contrib_process.php about
contributing to the Nebula project. Should we follow this procedure and
write a mail to the mailing list?
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Anders Baumann
