Highlight filtered text [message #1099970] Mon, 02 September 2013 09:13 Go to next message

Hi,

I am new to NatTable, and it works very nice.

However, I could not figure out yet from the documentation the best way how to highlight filtered text.
I have a table with many columns, and each column has a filter. The filtered rows should mark the filtered text.

For example, when a cell contains the value 'Amsterdam' and the filter is 'ster', then the cell should display 'Amsterdam'.

Kind Regards,
Arjan Kok.

Sorry but the requested feature is not supported by NatTable out of the box.

You would need to implement a custom cell painter like a RichTextPainter or something like that. This would need to be able to interpret tags or other styling information and modify the GC settings on rendering.

And of course you would need to implement some mechanism that adds that information dynamically on filtering. Nothing trivial

Allright fair enough, thanks for your reply.

Anyway, what is the reason the Nattable does not use the StyledCellLabelProvider and TableViewer interfaces?

Kind Regards, Arjan.

Because NatTable is no Viewer! I tried to explain that with my talks at EclipseCon Europe and W-JAX last year. Here you can find the videos and slides: http://eclipse.org/nattable/documentation.php?page=articles
