Donald (or anyone who would like to chime
in),
I got switching between predefined tables
working nicely using your example. However, I have a requirement to switch
between tables and tree views in the same application. I can do one or the
other from different applications but when I try to do both in the same
application I have conflicts with the content and label providers that
represent the 2 different structures as well as the way I structure the input
to get it to layout properly. Also switching between different tree views is
clumsy because it requires you to restructure your tree. I would think this is
something others would find useful but can’t find any examples or information
on it. Is there a mechanism built into XViewer that that supports these types
of different layouts dynamically? So far I’m back to resetting the content and
label providers to as well as restructuring the input. Any guidance would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks to anyone who has time and
knowledge to rrespond.
Michael

I've added an example of this to the
example package withing the xviewer plugin. Sync up the latest source
code to see it.
You can run MyXViewerTest.java (in
Eclipse, right-click -> Run-As -> Java Application) to see it work.
The customization icon allows the user to
easily toggle between the table default and their stored options.
Also added MyDefaultCustomizations to
answer your question, Mike, on how to build a CustomizeData object to be sent
in upon user selecting to change. The example also has two items at the
top to show how they can be used.
To also answer your question here:
public static CustomizeData
getCompletionCustomization() {
CustomizeData data = "" CustomizeData();
data.setName("Name Status");
data.setGuid(XViewerLib.generateGuidStr());
data.setNameSpace(MyXViewerFactory.COLUMN_NAMESPACE);
XViewerColumn nameColumn = MyXViewerFactory.Name_Col.copy();
nameColumn.setSortForward(true);
nameColumn.setWidth(175);
nameColumn.setShow(true);
data.getColumnData().getColumns().add(nameColumn);
XViewerColumn percentCol = MyXViewerFactory.Completed_Col.copy();
percentCol.setWidth(150);
percentCol.setShow(true);
data.getColumnData().getColumns().add(percentCol);
return data;
}
Hope that helps,
Don

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

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.

Subject: [nebula-dev] Ordering
columns programmatically?
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
