Hi,

When a SWT table contains no items, is it a way to put in a string like "No items found." instead of showing an empty table?

Thanks,
Ronald

Hi Ronald,

There are a few ways I can think of that you could handle the case:

1. Insert a row in the table to display the message. If you are using a jface viewer with LabelProvider, you probably want to make this a different type of object and handle the getText() method differently.

2. Put a label widget in a StackLayout with the table and switch the label to the top if there are no results. I have done this also while the table is loading in the background if it will take a long time. You can also use a Composite and put a progress bar there, etc.

3. Add a label above or below the table that always shows the number of results returned.
