How to scroll a table to its end [message #458951] Wed, 27 July 2005 08:46 Go to next message

Hello !

I want to scroll a table to its end after the user has added an item, so
that the user can see directly that the item has been added instead of
having to scroll the whole table down.

After looking in the API I found the setTopIndex(int index) method of
the Table class but it does not want I want : the last element is
sometimes "cut" because the table's height isn't exactly a multiple of
rows' height.

How can I solve that ? Is there a "setBottomIndex()" method hidden
somewhere ;) ?

Thanks ;) !

Vincent

Hi,
try mytable.getItem(table.getItemCount()-1).showItem()
or newItem.showItem() if you already have a reference to the new item.

Thanks for your answer ! The right code is :

TableItem lastItem = myTable.getItem(restoreItemsTable.getItemCount() - 1);
myTable.showItem(lastItem);

But unfortunately the result is the same as with setTopIndex() : the
last item is most of the time "cut" :(...

Vincent,

Which platform do you see this on? Do you have a snippet that shows it
happening? I did a quick experiment (snippet below) on win32, gtk and
motif, and could not get any of them to cut off the last item, even with
various Table heights. Using Table.setTopIndex() with a large value (eg.-
setTopIndex(table.getItemCount() - 1)) _should_ do what you want.

public class Main {
static int TABLE_HEIGHT = 195;
static int TABLE_ITEMCOUNT = 100;
public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display ();
final Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setBounds(10,10,300,300);
final Table table = new Table(shell, SWT.NONE);
table.setBounds(10,10,200,TABLE_HEIGHT);
for (int i = 0; i < TABLE_ITEMCOUNT; i++) {
new TableItem (table, SWT.NONE).setText("item " + i);
}
shell.open();
shell.addListener(SWT.MouseDown, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
TableItem lastItem = table.getItem(TABLE_ITEMCOUNT - 1);
table.showItem(lastItem);
//table.setTopIndex(TABLE_ITEMCOUNT - 1);
}
});
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}
}

Grant,

I'm running on Windows XP. Your snippet works fine but not my code...
Here is a screenshot of what I get :

This is really strange... Thanks for your interest !

There's something strange happening with the TableEditor (just logged
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=105316 ), though I have not
replicated your problem. If you have a stand-alone snippet that shows it
happening then it would be easier to determine what's happening in your
case.

My problem is the same as the one you reported. The stand-alone snippet
I made shows the same than your screenshot in the bug report. Here it is :

public class Main {

static int TABLE_HEIGHT = 195;
static int TABLE_ITEMCOUNT = 100;

public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display ();
final Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setBounds(10,10,300,300);

final Table table = new Table(shell, SWT.NONE);
table.setBounds(10,10,200,TABLE_HEIGHT);
new TableColumn(table, SWT.NONE).setWidth(75);
new TableColumn(table, SWT.NONE).setWidth(75);

for (int i = 0; i < TABLE_ITEMCOUNT; i++) {
TableItem item = new TableItem(table, SWT.NONE);

Label label = new Label(table, SWT.NONE);
label.setText("item " + i);

label.setBackground(Display.getCurrent().getSystemColor(SWT. COLOR_WHITE));
label.pack();
TableEditor editor = new TableEditor(table);
editor.grabHorizontal = true;
editor.grabVertical = true;
editor.setEditor(label, item, 0);

Button remove = new Button(table, SWT.PUSH);
remove.setText("Remove");
remove.pack();
editor = new TableEditor(table);
editor.minimumWidth = remove.getSize().x;
editor.setEditor(remove, item, 1);
table.getColumn(1).setWidth(remove.getSize().x + 5);
}

shell.open();
shell.addListener(SWT.MouseDown, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
TableItem lastItem = table.getItem(TABLE_ITEMCOUNT - 1);
table.showItem(lastItem);
//table.setTopIndex(TABLE_ITEMCOUNT - 1);
}
});
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}

}

Look at the labels : you can see that the scrollbar seems to scroll but
the content of the table does not move ! Screenshot :
