[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Table with paging

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ivan,

If I understand your description correctly, it sounds like you just want to
dispose() all old TableItems and create a new set of TableItems whenever the
user pages up or down, right?  If so then there's no magic way to do this
beyond what's described in the previous sentence.

However, a follow-up question: Is your motive for doing this that populating
your Table with a large amount of data upfront is too expensive?  If so then
SWT.VIRTUAL is your friend since it allows you to fill in TableItems only as
they're needed (ie.- scrolled to by the user).  For an example of this see
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet144.java?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup .

If neither of these suggestions answered what you're looking for then please
follow up.
