Programmatic Column Freezing [message #1386068] Fri, 13 June 2014 10:29 Go to next message

Hi Experts,

In my Nattable, i need to freeze one column by default programmatically. I am doing this as follows :
 nattable.doCommand(new FreezeColumnCommand(bodyLayerStack,2));

and my bodyLayerStack looks like this :
selectionLayer = new SelectionLayer(baseLayer);
viewPortLayer = new ViewPortLayer(selectionLayer);
freezeLayer = new FreezeLayer(selectionLayer);
compostiteFreezeLayer = new CompositeFreezeLayer(freezeLayer, viewportLayer,selectionLayer);
setunderLyingLayer(compostiteFreezeLayer);

This works fine when my nattable have single level column header. But the same is not working when my nattable have multi-level column grouping.
Note : both the nattable shares same bodylayerstack.

The issue is, when nattable contains multilevel column group header - its not showing my 1st row in bodylayer.

This nattable contains multi-level column header, ie 3 level. Programmatic freeze made 1st row hide.
index.php/fa/18269/0/

This nattable contains normal column header, ie single level , here its working fine.
index.php/fa/18270/0/

What is the mistake here? Please help me on this.

Are you using NatTable 1.1?

Hi Dirk,

Yes, its 1.1.

Hm, maybe related to layer position transformation through the layer stack.

You can either try to fire the command directly on the body layer stack and not on the natTable instance. Or try to use the FreezeSelectionCommand by first selecting the necessary cell.

In any case, please open a ticket for further tracking.

Hi Dirk,

I tried all cases - ie, fired the command directly on body layer stack and used
FreezeSelectionCommand after using setSelectColumn on selectionLayer.

In all the cases, it's behaving in the same manner , i.e hiding 1st row in case of multi-level column header

Hm, than it might be related to your layer composition.

You can check _807_SortableFilterableColumnGroupExample. There are two column group levels, therefore 3 column header rows. It contains freezing and adding programmatic freezing in that example works as expected.

Hi Drik,

I went through the _807_SortableFilterableColumnGroupExample. In My bodyLayerStack if i have RowHideShowLayer, then its not working. Thats what my finding. If i remove rowHideShowLayer, then the programmatic column freeze works fine as expected. But i need to use 'Hide Row' option on RowHeader and i need to use rowHideShowLayer for this. If i use, then by default 1st row becomes invisible. I have added 'Show All rows' menu on RowHeaderLayer, so after my table is loaded with default column freezing(1st row is hidden), i can able to make all rows visible by using this menu item. so i thought of calling ShowAllRowsCommand in code after calling FreezeColumnCommand() on nattable instance to make the 1st row visible. But the table comes with 1st row hidden and i need to select 'Show All rows' everytime.

-Regards,
Rajesh.

I added the RowHideShowLayer to the 807 example and everything works fine.

Are you sure to call the command after natTable.configure()?

Where in your layer composition is the RowHideShowLayer located? I added it directly after the GlazedListsEventLayer. If you are not using GlazedLists you would add it directly on top of the DataLayer.

This is my bodylayer stack.. I am using columnHideShowLayer as well.....

glazedListsEventLayer = new GlazedListsEventLayer(bodyDataLayer, eventList);
columnHideShowLayer = new ColumnHideShowLayer(glazedListsEventLayer);
rowHideShowLayer = new RowHideShowLayer(columnHideShowLayer);

// No autoconfig on selection layer
selectionLayer = new SelectionLayer(rowHideShowLayer, true);
viewportLayer = new ViewportLayer(selectionLayer);
freezeLayer = new FreezeLayer(selectionLayer);
compositeFreezeLayer = new CompositeFreezeLayer(freezeLayer, viewportLayer, selectionLayer);
setUnderlyingLayer(compositeFreezeLayer);


And yes i am calling ShowAllRowsCommand after configure(). ie, i am calling it after FreezeColumnCommand() which invokes the command, so it should work fine for ShowAllRowsCommand (), i guess.

I meant the FreezeColumnCommand, is that called after configure() ... I don't need to call the other one.

Try to exchange RowHideShowLayer and ColumnHideShowLayer in the layer stack ordering.

Yes, I am calling the FreezeColumnCommand() after configure(). And changing the order of columnHideShowLayer and RowHideShowLayer didnt help and i tried without columnHideShowLayer as well.. didn't help.

Than I'm not able to help anymore. As I said before, adding the RowHideShowLayer to the _807_SortableFilterableColumnGroupExample works fine for me. I'm don't know if you have any further modifications and I am not able to reproduce the issue.

Maybe you need to check your column header layer composition. Or there are other commands you registered that are interfering.

Hi Dirk,

I went through the code and compared my code with _807_SortableFilterableColumnGroupExample. I could not find any difference. Also, I modified the _807_SortableFilterableColumnGroupExample to make use of my bodyLayerStack and with my bodyLayerStack its working fine. ie- able to freeze the column programmatically. But with my custom nattable, with same bodyLayerStack giving issue. Apart form hiding 1st row, now its hiding all data, but the configuration is not gone- ie, If i click the cell, i can able to see the value and can able to activate the editor.

index.php/fa/18356/0/

If its issue with Layer Composition, the layer composition should not work with _807_SortableFilterableColumnGroupExample, right? But this example is working fine with my bodyLatyerStack

Looks more like an issue with your grid composition. Possibly the relations from the header layers or the underlying layers are not matching correctly.
