Hi David,

Thanks for your repply. I got few questions about this control.
1) Is there anyway that i can lay out my controls using null layout ?
I need that to lay out the controls in rows for each row.

2) Nice if I able to set whether i would like to lay out my controls in
grid or
not. Howbout "setGrid(true/false)" instead of detecting layout
manager...

3) Click and hold the scrollbar, it crash when you started to drag it.
4) Page down and arrow down given a diffrent result. Page down will cause
the table display emply space in last page. (I consider minor bug)

5) Howbout footer ? Need it to display total figures in grid mode.
6) Can I use nebula-dev mailing to post my questions ?

Thanks!

Null layout is not supported because changing the O/S theme or changing
the platform will break your layout.

If you want to lay out your controls in rows, I suggest using a
GridLayout on your row object and arrange your controls however you like.

Would this do what you want?

Unless I'm misunderstanding, I think you can do what you want using a
GridLayout. :-) Please correct me if I'm wrong.

> 3) Click and hold the scrollbar, it crash when you started to drag it.

It's wierd because I'm using the control in a live app and it's not
doing it there, but I was able to reproduce this. Thanks for the bug
report!

This is true. Page down always moves you down by a page. If fewer than
a page of rows is left when you hit page down, you will see the number
of rows that remain.

> 5) Howbout footer ? Need it to display total figures in grid mode.

Hmmmmm... Very nice idea... I filed bug #146749.

> 6) Can I use nebula-dev mailing to post my questions?

As long as Chris doesn't complain, either here or nebula-dev are fine
with me. :-)

Chris, where would you prefer this sort of traffic?

ya, I argreed that. It break in others platform but.... it required in
my case where I need to display something like... 1st row contain 5
controls and
2nd row contain 2 controls... of cause... this is not crossplatform....
Null layout will ease my job... since mostly our application run in Windows
the most...
We are using Sybase DataWindow which something similar to CompositeTable
but..
not for Java :-( CompositeTable just meet my requirement... SWT + Java :-)

Please open it... :-P

Hmmmmmmm.... Have you tried FormLayout? It may well do what you need.

Alternatively, I just wrote a layout manager (AbsoluteLayout) that does
what you want. If you pull HEAD, you'll see it. ;-) It's untested,
but it's also ridiculously simple. :-P
