Using NatTable as a spreadsheet [message #1698750]

Hello Forum,
I should reformulate the title, because it is pretty much the question itself. I don't know if this is the correct term, but I'll try to do my best.
I need to enter all the data that the NatTable will show directly into the NatTable, not just editing the info showed. For instance: I have a button which will tell the table to create a new row. Once the row is created I need to put the values directly into the cells. I tried with SWT Table, but these tables are a little bit limited in order to achieve what I need. Then I google for help and I found an article about Nattable, but the documentation or tutorials are quite short. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? If so, is out there any tutorial or example?
Best regards

NatTable is a control to visualize data in a table. If I understand your use case correctly, the update is possible when you are updating your data model.

There is a getting started tutorial and our examples application, which both can be found on our website.

The examples app contains examples that show how to add rows dynamically and how to enable editing.
