[NatTable] fill columnwise? [message #996638]

Hi,
I need to display an Excel sheet in my application. The problem is, I don't know the number of columns in advance so the jface tableViewer is not working (or does someone know a way how?).
I found NatTable a couple of days ago, but since new years eve was inbetween, I don't remember everything Wink

But I think I read that NatLab can also just be filled rowwise?
I couldn't find a suitable example so before I do a lot of tinkering, I thought it would be better to ask here.

Yes it can. The underlying data provider interface that NatTable uses is pretty flexible, so you can do things like dynamically add/remove columns and rows as you like. Check out the examples and documentation on the http://nattable.org web site, and feel free to ask questions on the NatTable forum if you need more guidance.

Cheers,
Edwin

Ah sorry for the wrong subforum. I just clicked on the 'forum' link on the nattable site and got here (maybe this should be fixed Wink

)
Anyway, before I create a new topic, maybe you can help me on how to run the example-jar file? I don't really know how to add SWT to the jarfile :/ I'm using Windows 7.

See here for how to run the examples: http://eclipse.org/nattable/documentation.php?page=getting_started
Also, you can try running the examples from the http://nattable.org web site by clicking on the Try It button

Cheers,
Edwin

Well thats the point, I dont know how to use this expression:

java -jar org.eclipse.swt_.jar;org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_.jar;NatTableExamples.jar org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.nattable.examples.NatTableExamples

I have both files, org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.nattable.core-0.9.0-sources.jar and NatTableExamples-0.9.0.jar in the same folder have set the path in my command window to this folder. But what then?

the try it button does not work

The command Edwin posted need to be called from the command line. It will then run the examples locally on your computer instead of loading it from the website.
