| Re: [nebula-dev] Ordering columns programmatically? |
|
Thanks Donald, I’ve been looking at the code for CustomizeManager,
CustomizeData, XViewerColumn, and XViewerFactory to try and determine the best
way to go about creating CustomizeData objects to represent my data groupings.
Currently in the example code the columns are created and registered in the
factory class. As well, what you see in the table are those columns created and
registered from the factory class. Are you saying that I should create XViewerColumns
and add then to a CustomizeData object along with any filters and sorters I
might want and then just load a customization selected by the user as described
below. I’m failing to see the connection between the columns defined in the
XViewerFactory and those defined from a CustomizeData object? Do all columns
need to be defined from the MyXViewerFactory up front and then added to a
CustomizeData object to create the different data views? Could you elaborate a
little on this process? TIA, Mike From:
nebula-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:nebula-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dunne, Donald G Since an XViewer customization includes
width, sorting, filtering and etc, you can't just reorder the columns, you have
to set a full CustomizationData object. From XViewer class, you can
getCustomizationMgr().loadCustomization(CustomizeData) Your pulldown selection can just select
the appropriate CustomizeData and set it. From:
nebula-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:nebula-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stapleton, Mike Maybe someone can help me here? I want to be able to build
different pre-defined data groupings. I have a dropdown which allows the user
to select the group of data they want to see. In the process of doing this the
order of the columns needs to change to match the new data and grouping. This
requires me to add/delete some columns as well as reorder some columns. I
provide content and label providers to define each data grouping and reset them
and the input when the user makes a selection from the Group By dropdown menu.
I added a function in my extension of the XViewer Factory that calls
clearColumnRegistration and then I re-register the columns in the order I want.
Problem is that the columns never reorder. The new content and label providers
appear to get set and my data gets re-ordered but the column headers remain in
the same position? So the headers don’t match the column data? I now you can
hide and reorder columns from the Customize Dialog and by just dragging columns
to a different position but I’m interested in doing this programmatically to
get the data the user really wants to see and the way they want to see it. I’m
I going about this in the right way or am I missing something? Anyone try something
like this yet? Any explanation of why I can’t reorder the columns by clearing
them from the registration and re-registering then would be helpful. TIA, Michael |
