Inner Tables [message #1404737]

We want to create a table of items that have sub elements of a different type. It should be possible to expand an item by clicking an icon like in a treetable to open the list of sub elements. A vanilla treetable seems not to be a good fit, because the outer table has completely different columns than the inner table.

One implementation idea is to use row grouping for each item. On expanding a second row for the item is shown containing a single column spanning the whole table. This column uses a custom painter that itself uses a nattable.

Another idea is to use a treetable and on expand the same technique as in the previous paragraph.

The second with the subtable must be as high as needed to show the complete inner table.

What do you think? Is this possible?

We have a TableCellPainter since 1.1.0. Please see the N&N for further information.

But we do not support more complex hierarchical inner subtables atm
