HTML "Like" Table support [message #463778]

I've read numerous threads regarding the display of html data. I'm not so much interested in the actual display of HTML data than I am in simply displaying a table that allows for modifications to headers (color/font/col span, etc) and allow hyperlink capabilites to interact with the rest of the workbench. There needs to be no editing, drag or drop, sorting or the like capabilities -- Simply a table to display data that's customizable.

Any suggestions/ideas for this?

Hi Damon,

currently there are two main choices for Tables in SWT: the native SWT
Table widget or the custom KTable widget.

SWT table has the advantage of beeing native and adapts to current
look&feel of the OS. KTable has the advantage of custom renderers for
each cell, cell spanning, individual row and column size and many more
features that are not available for SWT table.

I am not aware on any html-like table display widget. You theoretically
could also achieve the behaviour you want by putting a lot of Labels
into a GridLayout or a custim layout. As lomg you do not need any
editing feature and the amount of data to display is not to much (too
many ressources) this should ne fine. There might be html-like (or
html-table-like) layout classes out there.

In any case I think you have to program some lines...

Hope that helped,
Friederich

P.S. KTable is available
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ktable

There is a TableWrapLayout in org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets that might
achieve what you want.
