Set Custom Variant for TableColumn not working. [message #931047] Tue, 02 October 2012 22:06 Go to next message

I have a stylesheet with the following variants:

TableColumn-SortIndicator, TreeColumn-SortIndicator {
  background-image: url( icons/sort_indicator.png );
}

TableColumn-SortIndicator.nonSortableColumn, TreeColumn-SortIndicator.nonSortableColumn {
  background-image: none;
}



I have all columns showing a sort indicator with an up/down arrow shaded gray. Some columns are not sortable, and I would like to hide the sort indicator. So the styling in the css file above works to show the sort indicator. And on the column that is not sortable, I set the custom variant as follows:


  TableViewerColumn col = new TableViewerColumn(this,SWT.NONE, columnIndex);

  col.getColumn().setData(WidgetUtil.CUSTOM_VARIANT, "nosSortableColumn");


The column still shows the sort indicator. I am setting other custom variants this way, and the styling is respected, is there a reason this is not the case here?

Hi,
the customVariant set on the column is not applied to the SortIndicator.
If you need this functionality, please file an enhancement request.
Thanks,
Ivan

Thank Ivan.

Is there a workaround anyone can recommend to remove the visual indicator for a column, or hide it? I would like to not show the indicator for some columns.

George,
what I don't understand is how did you make sort indicator visible in
multiple columns in the same time. In Table widget only one column could
be sortable - set by Table#setSortColumn and Table#setSortDirection.
Based on column selection listener you could change the sortable column
- see Controls Demo -> Table tab. Could you provide a snippet to
demonstrate the issue?
Best,
Ivan

The following snippet makes the neutral sort indicator appear for all columns:
TableColumn-SortIndicator, TreeColumn-SortIndicator {
  background-image: url( icons/sort_indicator.png );
}


If change the previous code to the following, it works as you describe, only showing the sort indicator for the sorted column:

TableColumn-SortIndicator, TreeColumn-SortIndicator {
  background-image: none;
}


Sorting works as expected, and the column that is sorted shows the correct up or down image as described in the stylesheet.
