Adding tables programmatically [message #1165604]

Hi,

I have an AbstractGroupBox as my MainBox and need to programmatically add AbstractTableField's to it based on a data base result.

Any ideas on how to approach this or any useful pointers.

Thanks in advance

Do you mean adding multiple dynamic table fields to the Group box or just filling a pre-definied tablefield with data?

I need to add the tables dynamically.

In this case implement in your Group box:

  @Override
  protected void injectFieldsInternal(List<IFormField> fieldList) {
    super.injectFieldsInternal(fieldList);
    //add your fields
    fieldList.add(new MyDynamicTableField(....));
  }

Does this help?

That's exactly what was needed.

Many thanks

My next question is how to get the table to expand to fill the group box its sitting in and to set the column space by percentage rather than absolutely. Is it possible to get the table width to resize if the enclosing box is changed??

Regards

yes, you can configure as follows

public class MyTableField extends AbstractTableField{
  protected boolean getConfiguredAutoResizeColumns{
    return true;
  }
}

or of course call runtime code as

table.setAutoResizeColumns(true);

Also check out the javadoc of that property.

Are tablefields that are subclassed in a TabBox unaccessable by FormData?? I have a beanTableField inside a TabBox and I keep getting nullPointerException error saying that one of the column properties is not found in the TableRowDataMapper but the field is there. Does it matter if the field is hidden? Not sure what is going on here.

I found the first error. My syntax on the class was incorrect for the column PriceNr. I needed a capital letter. Ooops. But I still get a nullpointerexception when I call execLoad. Not sure what I am missing?

Nevermind, I figured that one out too. Sorry for being so hasty in my post. The problem was in the plugin.xml. I had moved a service into another package and forgot to update the location in the xml so the registry found no service. I updated that and everything works fine.
