Hi,

KTable has a quite different concept than SWT Table.
Look at the examples to check out how to create KTables.

I'm not sure what you exactly want to achieve, but it seems that your
KTable should grab all space in the form body.
Try to use a FillLayout:
form.getBody().setLayout(new FillLayout);

Hmm. Thanks, but using FillLayout does not change anything.
And, yes, I want the table to fill the entire form. Even though I only
have data to fill a few rows, I want the table to draw (empty)rows until
the end of the form (and the same for columns), like I can with the SWT
Table using the FULL_SELECTION style.

The feature you need is not supported by KTable directly. What you need
to do is changing your KTableModel in such a way that it returns the
column width depending on the current table size.

You can obtain the current size of the table using KTable.getSize(). Use
this as a basis to calculate the column widths.

If you need any more help let me know.

Well. Say, if I want three columns. In order to make the table fill the
form (horizontally) I calculate the remaining space between the last
column right-edge and the table right-edge. Then I make the 4'th column
with this width. Now the table covers the form horizontally. Fine. Now,
as long as the three leftmost columns are in sight in the window (form)
I'd like no scrolling, so I do not append the SWT.H_SCROLL . But I'd
like scrolling to be automaticall turned on if the window (form) gets
narrower than the width of the three leftmost columns (like I get with
the SWT.FULL_SELECTION style in SWT Tables). How can I achieve that with
your solution ?

Hi Ola,

there is currently no way of automatically hiding KTable scrollbars. If
you need a scollbar sometimes, you have to enable it all the time. As
long it is not needed, it will display as a "grayed" scrollbar.

As you might have noticed I am the author of KTable. So, if you really
really really want the scrollbar to disappear, I could have a deep look
into the source and see how much work it is to implement that. But for
me the current solution works fine...

BTW, as a user I dislike "fake" table columns which fill the entire
table. I would prefer the existing columns to spread over the area. But
this seems to be a quesion of personal taste.

Friederich

Ok. Thanks anyway. I think I'll stick with KTable as it is :)

It is possible to have scrollbars shown on demand with some custom coding.
In a nutshell you create KTable with scrollbars enabled and then listen for
control resize notifications. You then use the model to find out the
theoretical size and compare it to the actual size. If the theoretical size
is larger than the actual you make the scrollbar(s) visible, if not you hide
them. This seem to work for me.

Vlad.

After some initial confusion, I implemented your suggestion and so
far, it seems to work fine for me. For anyone who could find it
useful, here's the class I came up with (usable under Eclipse Public
License):

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Point;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Event;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Listener;

import de.kupzog.ktable.KTable;
import de.kupzog.ktable.KTableModel;

public class AutoScrollingKTable extends KTable {

void setVerticalBarVisible() {
KTableModel model = getModel();
Point actualSize = getSize();
int theoreticalHeight= model.getRowHeight()*model.getRowCount()
+ model.getFirstRowHeight();
if (theoreticalHeight > actualSize.y) {
getVerticalBar().setVisible(true);
} else {
getVerticalBar().setVisible(false);
}
}

private class ResizeListener implements Listener{

public void handleEvent(Event event) {
setVerticalBarVisible();
}
}

public void setModel(KTableModel model) {
super.setModel(model);
if (model != null)
setVerticalBarVisible();
else
getVerticalBar().setVisible(false);
}

public AutoScrollingKTable(Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, style);
addListener(SWT.Resize, new ResizeListener());
}
}

You may achieve better results if you use getClientArea() instead of
getSize() to find out the actual height as the value getSize() will also
include the scrollbars. Also, I think row count returned from the model
includes fixed rows, so you may be over-calculating your theoreticalHeight.

You're right in both cases. This works much better for me (and it also
does horizontal scroll bar goodness):

public class AutoScrollingKTable extends KTable {
private void setVerticalBarVisible() {
KTableModel model = getModel();
Rectangle actualSize = getClientArea();
getVerticalBar().setVisible(actualSize.height <
model.getRowHeight() * (model.getRowCount()-1)
+ model.getFirstRowHeight());

}
private void setHorizontalBarVisible() {
KTableModel model = getModel();
Rectangle actualSize = getClientArea();
int theoreticalWidth = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < model.getColumnCount(); i++)
theoreticalWidth += model.getColumnWidth(i);
getHorizontalBar().setVisible(actualSize.width < theoreticalWidth);
}

private class ResizeListener implements Listener{
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
setVerticalBarVisible();
setHorizontalBarVisible();
}
}

public void setModel(KTableModel model) {
super.setModel(model);
setVerticalBarVisible();
setHorizontalBarVisible();

}

public AutoScrollingKTable(Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, style | SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.H_SCROLL);
addListener(SWT.Resize, new ResizeListener());
}
}

Thanks!

Hi Friedrich,
Hi Andreas,

I am currently spending some of my time with KTable and as there was
a comment about EPL of the posted code by Andreas, I just put that into
the current version under ktable.sourceforge.net

regards,
Lorenz Maierhofer
