Updating the structure of a CompositLayer? [message #1017796] Tue, 12 March 2013 14:57 Go to next message

I am changing the number of a Rows in a Layer, which wraped in a CompositeLayer.

After the change I would like to update the layout of the CompositeLayer, and the wrapped Layer.

How would I do that?


I tried:

layerCompositeAll.layerNewObjectsTop.handleLayerEvent(new RowStructuralRefreshEvent(
		layerCompositeAll) {

});
layerCompositeAll.handleLayerEvent(new RowStructuralRefreshEvent(layerCompositeAll) {

});

layerCompositeAll.layerNewObjectsTop.doCommand(new StructuralRefreshCommand());
layerCompositeAll.doCommand(new StructuralRefreshCommand());
natTable.doCommand(new StructuralRefreshCommand());
layerCompositeAll.doCommand(new StructuralRefreshCommand());
layerCompositeAll.layerNewObjectsTop.doCommand(new StructuralRefreshCommand());

natTable.redraw();
natTable.refresh();


The refresh is only done, when I resize a column / a row in the table.

If I saw it right in your various posts about that stuff, you replaced the DataLayer with your custom CompositeLayer. Is that correct?

If you are doing that extended stuff, you should be aware of the architecture and how things work. In the documentation you will find how commands and events are used in NatTable:
http://eclipse.org/nattable/documentation.php?page=basics

There you can see that commands go down the layer stack until some handler will catch it, execute it and possibly fire a event to notify about command execution. The StructuralRefreshCommand gets processed by the StructuralRefreshCommandHandler which is registered in the DataLayer. So it seems the commands you are trying to execute are never handled.

Thnx Dirk, this is correct - I replaced the DataLayer by a CompositeLayer.
But it does not have to be a StructuralRefreshCommandHandler.
I am interested in the update mechanism, which is triggered, when I do a manual column resize.

Because the manual resize - updates the CompositeLayer layout correctly.

You are trying to do a
doCommand(new StructuralRefreshCommand());


and this command is ONLY handled by StructuralRefreshCommandHandler

If you do a resize according refresh events will get fired, e.g. ColumnResizeEvent. So this is another refresh.

Oh, and really, doing such advanced stuff you should try to read and understand the source code! Everything you are searching at the moment can be found in DataLayer

Thnx four your responce Dirk.
This is somehow my fault, because I tried sending the Events at my lowest layer too and it did not work:
                    layerCompositeAll.layerNewObjectsTop.fireLayerEvent(new StructuralRefreshEvent(
                            layerCompositeAll.layerNewObjectsTop));
                    layerCompositeAll.layerExistingObjectsSecond.fireLayerEvent(new StructuralRefreshEvent(
                            layerCompositeAll.layerExistingObjectsSecond));
                    layerCompositeAll.fireLayerEvent(new StructuralRefreshEvent(layerCompositeAll));
                    layerCompositeAll.layerNewObjectsTop.fireLayerEvent(new StructuralRefreshEvent(
                            layerCompositeAll.layerNewObjectsTop));
                    layerCompositeAll.layerExistingObjectsSecond.fireLayerEvent(new StructuralRefreshEvent(
                            layerCompositeAll.layerExistingObjectsSecond));


Of course I am reading the sourcecode, but especially here the mechanism of layout refreshing is intransparent for me:
- the StructuralRefreshCommandHandler does nothing but sending a StructuralRefreshEvent (it did not work)
- repainting the whole table dos not work (cache?)
- Resizing triggers : RecalculateScrollBarsCommand, ColumnResizeCommand (doesn't start a structural update for me)

So all I wanted to ask you about differences of resizing the table and triggering a manual Command / Event
