Hello Shady,
I managed to create a table similar to the one you described.
The components I used are the following: (I suggest, that you implement in
this order)
- the table editpart
- for each cell an own editpart
- for the tablefigure an own layoutmanager, which layouts your cells
(the most complicated part if you use colspan and rowspan)
- for the table-editpart an editpolicy, which creates the handles to
resize the cells (besides the handles to resize the table itself)
- handles consist of the handle-"figure", a locator, which tells the
handle the location where to rest and a resize tracker,
which handles drag and drop (resizing) and gives feedback to the
layoutmanager
- ( for the last two steps,have a look at the ResizableEditpolicy and copy
and adapt to your needs)
enjoy!
Regards, Ingo

What about the columns and rows ? did you need to make a column or row edit
part to hold the cells. The columns and rows may be useful to have separate
edit parts in order to handle things like header of the table and so.

Hello Shady,
of course you can place the cells in seperate row or column editparts,
but the disadvantage is that these editparts have to know attributes (size
etc)
of the other editparts. Keep in mind, that a resizing of one cell affects
cells,
which are adjacent to this cell, which would be placed in a different
edipart.
My approach is that you control the layout , which means placement and size
of the cells,
in a central instance or algorithm, the table-layoutmanager. I store width
and height of the
columns and rows in arrays, whose values are applied to the cells by the
layout-algorithm.

Ahem,
since many people are implementing a table layout,
what about a generic default table implementation (with resizability) as
part of GEF?
Or is this the job of the draw2D guys?
