Hi,

how can I define a Table or TableView with a multiple column header? I found some thing for JTable
(http://www.crionics.com/public/swing_examples/JTableExamples1.html) but I think it wont work in
Eclipse.

the needed layout is:

+----------------------------------------------------------+
|Global header |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
|2nd level header A | 2nd level header B |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
|3rd level A | 3rd level B |3rd level D | 3rd level E |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
|col 1 | col2 |col 1 | col2 |col 1 | col2 |col 1 | col2 |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| | | | | | | | |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| | | | | | | | |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| | | | | | | | |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| | | | | | | | |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| | | | | | | | |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| | | | | | | | |
+----------------------------------------------------------+


any idea how to implement this? Any hints would be appreciated, Martin

You are right, SWT Table cannot represent multiple column headers.

I suggest to consider to use more capable Table framework, e.g. Nebula Grid:

http://www.eclipse.org/nebula/widgets/grid/grid.php

(Take a look at the examples)

or maybe even better NatTable:

http://eclipse.org/nattable/
