Hello,

i have a table with spanned content.
The content is editable.

Now my problem is that if there are 5 cells spanned, the user clicks in cell 4, my textCellEditor opens in cell 4. I want that the textCellEditor opens in cell 1.

Is this possible?

actual state:
1 span
2 span
3 span
4 span --> click4 --> edit4
5 span

target state
1 span ----------------> edit1
2 span
3 span
4 span --> click4
5 span

best regards
Fabian

When implementing your custom editor you could overwrite the ICellEditor#calculateControlBounds and return a rectangle indicating the position of your desired cell. The editor will be opened at the position that is described by the rectangle.

We are doing the same in our application to move the editor. Works perfect Smile

Hm, which version of NatTable are you using? I thought I fixed some issue with editing spanned cells so the whole spanned cell borders are used for the editor.

Have a look at Tutorial Examples -> Layers -> Data -> SpanningDataLayerExample ... if you click on a spanned cell, editing is activated and the whole 4 spanned cells are used for the editor borders.

Hello Dirk,

I'm using the Version 1.1.0.
I do it like the example, creating a class which implements IDataProvider and ISpanningDataProvider

public class SpanningBodyDataProvider implements IDataProvider, ISpanningDataProvider

Then I don't know why in your case only one cell in the span is activated for editing instead of one big spanned editor.

Have you checked that the editor configurations are applied correctly?

Now it works.
There was an error in my EventListener.

Thanks for your help, you showed me that it was not a natTable error but rather my fault.

best regards
Fabian
