large menues [message #72905]

Hi,
I've been facing the following problem:
I need to display a table that has many columns. The user should be able to select/deselect
the columns he wants to see.
So I've tried to add a Menu to the table that I'm showing, as there is no way to add a menu to
a Table-header.
Now it is possible that the table has a lot of columns. What happens now is that I am not able
to see all entries (i.e. all possible column-names) in the context menu as there is too less space
to show them all in one flat MenuItem list.
Has anybody a smart solution so that I can show all column-names in my context menu?
I thought of:
- having a button at the end of a Menu list that allows a scrolling of the Menu
- make the Menu not in one but in two or more columns

Has somebody experience with this problem?

Thanks

Regards

Oliver

hi oliver,

i didn't experience this problem until now, but maybe i'd add a menu item
"Show Columns", for example, which opens a new shell which contains a
check-table where you could list all possible columns so that one can
check the needed columns or a combo box shows up... as you certainly know
you can start the shell and pack it so only the widget is shown. frank
appel demonstrates this quiet well in his datum picker dialog in this
newsgroup =).
just to give some ideas...

so far
ben

Hi,

seems to have some problems with my mail program. retry...

did you consider a dialog that uses a checked list to select the columns
that should be displayed? I've seen this in RAP applications before and
it worked just fine. The programmers placed a button somewhere nicely
over the table to open that dialog to configure displayed-columns and
their sort-order for example.

Ciao
Frank
