Has anyone seen, thought about or dreamed about using a table widget?
At least we have...
What I would like to have is similar to the ListBox widget and to
the Matrix widget (described in the DW-Examples notesfile), but
with some more features.
I would like to;
- Address each element in the table matrix, to be able to
update that cell (similar to the spread sheets),
when updating I would like to be able to use another GC
eg, change background color, font etc
- Scroll, Select, Add and Remove as using the ListBox Widget
- Have an easy way to setup the table, arguments like;
o Number of columns in the Box
o Maximum size of element in each row
o Table heads (the strings above the Box...)
o Initial contents, etc, etc
Have anyone seen/heard/thought of such a widget?
If the wheel have been invented, we would not try to invent it again.
Thank's for any hints,
/Anders
BTW,
The application is a brokers workstation/workplace were real time
information like stock prizes/volumes and positions will be maintained.
We are currently prototyping the UI.

| 1311.1 | Yes, table widget exists | VIA::ASHLUND | Stacey Ashlund, DECdecision Calc | Mon Aug 21 1989 15:09 | 58 |
DECdecision Calc (spreadsheet) uses a table widget. Description and
location can be found in note 7 in the WIDGET_DIRECTORY notesfile
(CLT::), included below. For more info on DECdecision, see
REGAL::DECdecision (KP7 to add).

Widget name: Table Widget
Brief description:
The Table Widget is a work area widget that displays character strings in a
tabular (row/column) format, performs cell, column, and row selection, and
provides tools with which to navigate through large applications. To ensure
flexibility and to remain as generic as possible, the Table Widget channels
all user actions to the application. After interpreting the callback
information, the application can respond by calling the Table Widget's
external routines. By allowing the application to process the events, and
by providing external routines that may be called at any time, the widget
can be tailored to suit many needs.

| 1311.3 | SVN, too | BEEDLE::DICKAU | Martin Dickau | Tue Aug 22 1989 18:09 | 5 |
There is also a field test version of SVN which supports columns. You can find information about it in the same notesfile. Martin | |||||
| 1311.4 | Yet another candidate | DECWIN::KLEIN | Tue Aug 22 1989 19:17 | 6 | |
And while we're at it, the VText widget also supports columns. You can find it in ELKTRA::DW_EXAMPLES, note 148.*. You could add features like colors-per-fields to customize it as needed. -steve- | |||||
