Gallery with widgets instead of images [message #61895] Tue, 20 January 2009 14:13 Go to next message

Hi,

is it possible to have a Gallery widget display other widgets instead of
images only?

The use-case for this would be some kind of monitoring dashboard that
displays e.g. the performance of several production lines each
visualized by a custom widget with some current numbers, state and
buttons for access to further detailed information.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi,

I don't thing it is possible for the moment, although such a functionality
would be awesome. It would allow the gallery widget to be used in many
more situations.

Hi Martin, Baptiste

This is not supported out of the box, but you can try the following :

- You can create your own ItemRenderer : You can draw whatever you want
instead of an Image and a label. The groupRenderer also be updated to
forward mouse clicks to the item renderer. You can also try to create a
widget and move it to the right possition.

OR add a paint listener to the Gallery : take a look at
CustomDrawSnippet (org.eclipse.nebula.snippets)

- You can use a GridLayout to display widgets like the Gallery widget
does for images. This was what I tried first before creating a custom
widget. Even if using GridLayout and Label to display images is far too
slow, it can be useable for your usecase.
