need checkbox only when editable [message #1095692] Tue, 27 August 2013 11:54 Go to next message

Hello all,

I am new to NatTable. I have gone thorough the NatTable examples and its source code but am not getting a solution to one of my problems.
In the NatTable I have a column that should provide a checkbox for selection depending on the value of another column.
I have used Checkboxpainter, checkboxcelleditor, the defaultbooleanconverter and IEditableRule. This renders a checkbox irrespective of whether the cell is editable or not though it allows me to mark the checkbox only if it is editable.

However as per our requirement user should not see the checkbox if the row is not selectable. or in worst case a disabledcheckbox should be rendered for rows that are not selectable.

Can someone please help me out?

Thanks and regards,
Pradyumna

You need to add a special label to that cells that show the checkbox and are disabled. Then you are able to register another painter in case the checkbox is not editable.

Thanks for your reply Dirk.
I got the solution which is probably a bit different from what you suggest.
I wrote a custom ChecBoxPainter in which i return a null from the getImage method for appropriate cells.

I still choose configuration over implementation as this is what NatTable supports. But feel free to use your workaround.

Can you tell me how to apply labels to individual cells based on a condition? Also is there a way to show/hide rows with such labeled cells based on an external checkbox?

Thanks in advance

The chapter on conditional styling should give the necessary information on the labels.

Row hide/show is not implemented via labels. You need to use the RowHideShowLayer and the corresponding commands to implement that.

Thanks Dirk.
I resolved show/hide of rows using filterator and a hidden textbox.
Using RowHideShowLayer I would have had to loop through rows searching for particular value in a column and then show/hide the row.
Am I right?

If you want to hide rows that contain special values, yes
