I am struggling for a while with a problem.Please help me if you can.
I am trying to create a table in nattable that has two column.
The firs column is straight-forward but the second one is the the part that I don`t know how to create.
Each cell of the second column has to to have a dynamic number of rows, like in the image provided.Or to be more specific,each cell of the second column is divided into a variable number of rows.
I am using Nattable because of it`s capacity to handle large data, but any solution is good at this point. (JFace..etc)

Hello.
I`ve posted the question at the same time on both sites,hoping that I would get a faster replay and because I was not sure that I will get an answer on StackOverflow.
Currently, I have some other problems with my code.
I will update you with the status of my project as soon as I will try to integrate the solution into my project.
Thank you for your interest.

I tried the example from https://eclipse.org/nattable/nandn/nandn_110.php but it seems I am doing something wrong because the cell in`s not splitted. :(.
@Creatable
public class Part {
public void createNatTable(Composite parent) {
        String[] propertyNames = {"firstName", "lastName", "password", "description", "age", "money", "married",
            "gender", "address.street", "address.city", "favouriteFood", "favouriteDrinks" };

        // mapping from property to label, needed for column header labels
        Map<String, String> propertyToLabelMap = new HashMap<>();
        propertyToLabelMap.put("firstName", "Firstname");
        propertyToLabelMap.put("lastName", "Lastname");
        propertyToLabelMap.put("password", "Password");
        propertyToLabelMap.put("description", "Description");
        propertyToLabelMap.put("age", "Age");
        propertyToLabelMap.put("money", "Money");
        propertyToLabelMap.put("married", "Married");
        propertyToLabelMap.put("gender", "Gender");
        propertyToLabelMap.put("address.street", "Street");
        propertyToLabelMap.put("address.city", "City");
        propertyToLabelMap.put("favouriteFood", "Food");
        propertyToLabelMap.put("favouriteDrinks", "Drinks");

        IDataProvider bodyDataProvider = new ListDataProvider<>(PersonService.getExtendedPersonsWithAddress(10),
            new ExtendedReflectiveColumnPropertyAccessor<ExtendedPersonWithAddress>(propertyNames));

        DefaultGridLayer gridLayer = new DefaultGridLayer(bodyDataProvider,
            new DefaultColumnHeaderDataProvider(propertyNames, propertyToLabelMap));

        final DataLayer bodyDataLayer = (DataLayer)gridLayer.getBodyDataLayer();

        final ColumnOverrideLabelAccumulator columnLabelAccumulator = new ColumnOverrideLabelAccumulator(bodyDataLayer);
        bodyDataLayer.setConfigLabelAccumulator(columnLabelAccumulator);
        registerColumnLabels(columnLabelAccumulator);

        this.natTable = new NatTable(parent, gridLayer, false);
        this.natTable.addConfiguration(new DefaultNatTableStyleConfiguration());
        this.natTable.addConfiguration(new PainterConfiguration());
        this.natTable.configure();

        new NatTableContentTooltip(this.natTable, GridRegion.BODY);
    }

    private void registerColumnLabels(ColumnOverrideLabelAccumulator columnLabelAccumulator) {
        columnLabelAccumulator.registerColumnOverrides(0, COLUMN_ELEVEN_LABEL);

    }



    public class PainterConfiguration extends AbstractRegistryConfiguration {

        @Override
        public void configureRegistry(IConfigRegistry configRegistry) {
            registerPainters(configRegistry);
        }

        private void registerPainters(IConfigRegistry configRegistry) {

            registerColumnElevenTablePainter(configRegistry);

        }

        private void registerColumnElevenTablePainter(IConfigRegistry configRegistry) {
            //register the TableCellPainter for the food collection in the data model
            configRegistry.registerConfigAttribute(CellConfigAttributes.CELL_PAINTER, new TableCellPainter(),
                DisplayMode.NORMAL, COLUMN_ELEVEN_LABEL);

            //register the TableCellEditor for the food collection in the data model
            configRegistry.registerConfigAttribute(EditConfigAttributes.CELL_EDITOR, new TableCellEditor(),
                DisplayMode.NORMAL, COLUMN_ELEVEN_LABEL);
            // uncomment this to get an idea on how the TableCellEditor works
            configRegistry.registerConfigAttribute(EditConfigAttributes.CELL_EDITABLE_RULE,
                IEditableRule.ALWAYS_EDITABLE, DisplayMode.EDIT, COLUMN_ELEVEN_LABEL);

Well column 0 is showing the firstname and not a collection. You need to register the label for the correct column.

Our examples show this also.

Hello Dirk,
I have two question:
1.is it possible to have two different column providers for each column in the same table?
2.can I show two attributes of an object in the same cell (as it can be seen in the resulted_nattable, second column)

The problem that I have, is that the object that works as a provider for the first column has a list of objects that I want to use for the cell painter in the second column ,just as in the UML.
I need a second provider because I will also have to implement a ISelection provider for the both columns, enabling the user to modify the data in the both columns and keeping the back end model up to date.
I saw that the constructor of DefaultGridLayer does not provide a constructor for two column providers.

The wanted result can be found in the resulted_nattable.png

Thank you!
Have a nice day!

Not sure what you mean. But you can implement your own IDataProvider and return whatever you want. Or implement a custom converter.

Hello Dirk,
I am trying to add a context menu with delete and add row menus.
I tried to copy the code from _308_DataModificationExample into my workspace but I have some problems with DeleteRowCommandHandeler at doCommand() method.


Here is the errors I get:Quote:

"The method doCommand(ILayer, ExamplePart.InsertRowCommand) of type ExamplePart.InsertRowCommandHandler must override or implement a supertype method"

ILayerCommandHandler is a generic interface. So it should be

class DeleteRowCommandHandler implements ILayerCommandHandler<DeleteRowCommand>


I suppose the overloading methods is not working.

Yes, that is the solution.Thank you!

But now I have another problem...the UI is not refreshing after a row delete.

If I try to delete twice the same row I get an error..so I suppose the delete is working but the UI is not refreshing.

Do you think it has something to do with the fact that the class is @Creatable and it`s used as a PartDescriptor in a fragment.e4xmi ??

From your answer on Stack Overflow ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31907288/delete-rows-from-nattable) I understood that the table should refresh automatically after RowDeleteEvent....

Testing your example and fixing all the errors and warnings with regards to generics makes it work exactly as intended. The refresh is performed automatically.

And BTW, don't hijack a forum post for multiple questions! this way others will not be able to find the answer if they have a similar question!
