SWT multiline table with rows of different sizes [message #897234]

Hi all,

I have used one of the multiline samples in the web to create a SWT multiline table. I use a TableViewer with a label provider subclassed from OwnerDrawLabelProvider.

Everything worked ok until I have tried to have cells of different heights as the table have problems in painting and selection.

I have been googling for a while and I have found a post back in 2005 where it was said that this feature was not supported.

Could anyone tell me if it is currently supported?

Thanks in advance

Lluís

Hi Lluis,

have you looked at the Snippet006TableMultiLineCells JFace snippet? It has row's height based on the text content.

This restriction still applies - you need to use a custom drawn control
like Nebula-Grid or NatTable.

Well, I thought you would like to have each row of different height.

In case you would like to have each single cell different height, it's impossible as Thomas said.

Hi Jan,

Ooooops, my mistake. YOU ARE RIGHT, I meant rows, not cells.

Anyway, the sample I used was similar to the one that you are pointing and it didn't work with different ROW heights. Are you sure different ROW heights are supported?

By the way, is it possible to use add editing cappabilities to the cells?

Thanks and sorry for the misunderstanding.

No SWT-Tables in SWT-Tables all rows have to have the sameheight.

Oh, I can see it now. All the rows have really the same height.

They are first low, but when you start scrolling down, they ALL suddenly get bigger. That confused me.

So I have to apologize to you for giving you a false hope, Tom is right.

Jan, Thomas,

Thanks for your comments. I will have a look at Nebula-Grid or NatTable.
