Hi all,
I have got a table which displays a list of items ...
now I would like to re-use the same table to display list items of different
nature ...
I mean ...
table viewer 1 [ column A B C D E ]
table viewer 2 [ column E F G H ]
now what is the best approach to achieve this?
I can use different views and enable every time the one I need (but this
mean having double table, double provider(s))
is there anyway to change at runtime the table column header (sure the
providers could make the difference depending on the input element)
Thanks
Kar

org.eclipse.swt.custom.StackLayout is exactly what you want. See the
example code in the class Javadoc.
Hope this helps,
