Extending NatTable [message #1463295]

I am calling NatTable from the dialog as below:
MyNatTable natTable = new MyNatTable(composite);

MyNatTable extends from NatTable as below:
public class FV9VSCSECUVarNatTable extends org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.nattable.NatTable

I am using the class constuctor as below:
public MyNatTable(Composite parent)
{
super(parent,true);
}

In this case I am getting composite with default NatTable (please check in the attached screenshot). When I am trying to add my contents it is coming below this default NatTable.

How to avoid this default NatTable from being added to composite?

If you extend NatTable you should check which constructors you need to implement accordingly. It seems you only implemented the constructor that creates the default NatTable stuff.

Although I completely don't understand why you are extending NatTable instead of using and configuring it.

Hi Dirk,
Actually I need to create TabFolder that will have different tabs as per requirement. In each tab I need to show Nattable with different eventlist. The table columns will be same however data will be different as it will be fetched from different objects.
In short I need to create multiple NatTable runtime and add it in different tab. The number of Tab and NatTable will very depending upon condition.
I was trying to separate out NatTable creation so that I can add it under different tab.

What do you think is the better way?

create a new NatTable instance on the tab. If you want to abstract things out, implement a custom pre-configured layer. But it doesn't make sense to extend NatTable
