Hi,

There is an example on SWT snippets page which fixes first column using two tables. http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet234.java?view=co

I have tried to fix the first column using a similar approach using two tables. Here is the modified version of the snippet. You can modify it to suit your requirement.

public class FixedRowTable {
public static void main (String [] args) {
	int rowCount = 40;
	int columnCount = 3;
	final Display display = new Display ();
	Shell shell = new Shell (display);
	shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
	
	Composite parent = new Composite(shell, SWT.BORDER);
	GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(1, false);
	layout.marginWidth = layout.marginHeight = layout.horizontalSpacing = 0;
	parent.setLayout(layout);
	
	final Table topTable = new Table(parent, SWT.SINGLE | SWT.FULL_SELECTION | SWT.HIDE_SELECTION|SWT.NO_SCROLL);
	GridData gridData = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.TOP, true, false, 1, 1);
	gridData.heightHint = SWT.DEFAULT; // use this field to adjust the size of top table
	topTable.setLayoutData(gridData);
	topTable.setHeaderVisible(true);
	topTable.setLinesVisible(true);
	
	final Table bottomTable = new Table(parent, SWT.MULTI | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.FULL_SELECTION|SWT.HIDE_SELECTION);
	GridData table2Data = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true, 1, 2);
	bottomTable.setLayoutData(table2Data);
	bottomTable.setLinesVisible(true);
	
	parent.setBackground(topTable.getBackground());
		
	// Create columns for top and bottom tables
	for (int i = 0; i < columnCount; i++) {
		TableColumn column = new TableColumn(topTable, SWT.NONE);
		column.setText("Value "+i);
		column.setWidth(100);
		column.setResizable(false);
		column.setMoveable(false);
		column = new TableColumn(bottomTable, SWT.NONE);
		column.setWidth(100);
	}
	// Create rows for top and bottom tables
	TableItem item = new TableItem(topTable, SWT.NONE);
	for (int j = 0; j < columnCount; j++) {
		item.setText(j, "Fixed value @ "+j);
	}
	for (int i = 0; i < rowCount -1 ; i++) {
		item = new TableItem(bottomTable, SWT.NONE);
		for (int j = 0; j < columnCount; j++) {
			item.setText(j, "Item "+i+" value @ "+j);
		}
	}

	shell.setSize(600, 400);
	shell.open ();
	while (!shell.isDisposed ()) {
		if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
	}
	display.dispose ();
}
}


If you want the table columns to be movable/resizable, you can add control listener to the the column in the toptable to sync the top and bottom tables.
But, I think you cannot use this approach if you want the columns to support sorting.

HTH,
