scala, swing : make a table scroll to the last row non empty - scala

I would like to be able to add a row in a table, to achieve this I thought to a button near the table, with the caption "New/Update". if no row is selected, then clicking on this button makes the table "scroll" to display the first empty row, then the person enter the informations in this row, and a second click on the button stores the new row.
But I need to make the table scroll, how can I do this?
I searched on internet and found this : here, but it is in Java and I did not find the scala equivalent to getCellRect method.
please note I did not used a model for the table.

If there's a method that isn't implemented in the Scala version, you can use peer to access the underlying Java Swing version.
So you should be able to access the method in your question, if you have a Table t, using t.peer.getCellRect.

How to implement new item of sap.m.Table in Fiori?

I want to implement new item(row) in sap.m.Table. In Add Items section of Fiori guideline, it looks like this:
Here is my Demo
I have three questions:
How to add the new row to the first item of the table?
How to "highlighted it with a visual indicator"? (the left blue part in design)
Why addOneRow function did not work before setModel? Is it because data binding refresh the table or sth.?
1- The way I addressed this problem in several project is by using 2 tables : first tables only contains one fixed row and the second one is binded to an array. When clicking the 'add' button in the first table it resets the first table content and adds an item to the second table binding
2- the hightlight property is on the items. example:
<ColumnListItem type="Detail" highlight="Error">
if you use my solution from #1 you might use it only on first table
3- you're totally right, this is also why you should put your 'addOneRow' in the 'onAfterRendering' callback to make sure your last row (that you likely always want) is always displayed.
(btw if you use solution from #1 you simply dont need it anymore)

Updating slickgrid autocomplete fields without rerendering the grid

I'm using SlickGrid in a sharepoint environment to display and update data. To save on the the load time, I am populating auto complete fields with options that have only been used in previous lines (with tables with more than 50 lines), and then I am wanting to give the user the option to click on a "Metadata refresh button" located at the top of the autocomplete fields that will go and fetch all available options to repopulate the auto complete field.
<table><tr><td>[ TextField ] </td><td>[ AutoComplete1 ] </td><td>[ AutoComplete2]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Entry1</td><td>Hello</td><td>Goodbye</td></tr>
<tr><td>Entry2</td><td>Hi</td><td>Later</td></tr>
</table>
So if, the user was to create a new line, they would have the options of Hello and Hi in column 2, and Goodbye or Later in column 3 to choose from since they have been used before. If they want the option "Hail!" to appear in column 2, they would have to click the "Update MetaData" button for column 2, which would refresh ALL the cells in that column with all available but previously unused selections.
I know its not ideal, but its a requirement that has been given to me.
I know how to add buttons to column headers and I am updating the array of data that the grid needs for the autocomplete column, but I am at a loss on how to update the column choices without redrawing the whole grid.
Any suggestions?
Check out the newer examples in my repo: https://github.com/6pac/SlickGrid/wiki/Examples
This is probably closest to what you want:
http://6pac.github.io/SlickGrid/examples/example-autocomplete-editor.html
What I have done in the past is create a data property of the cell node to store the object, like:
$jqacContainer.data('queryautocomplete', jqac);
It's then easy enough to get the object from the cell node.
However, this requires proper cleanup of the property to avoid a memory leak. This should be able to be done in editor.destroy(), but I don't think I've checked corner cases, for example where the editor is scrolled offscreen before being completed.

Testing not visible rows in ui-grid with protractor

My e2e-test for ui-grid is the following:
I'm adding the new item with the name that includes timestamp, saving it to the server.
I'm checking if the item with this name has been added to the ui-grid table.
The problem is that the table can get very big and ui-grid apparently uses lazy loading and puts only the visible rows to the DOM. I found this library of helper methods for testing, but it doesn't provide anything to search for the rows which are not in visible now.
So, question, is one of the following is possible in my Protractor test?
1) can I check how many rows do I have in my ui-grid table?
2) can I search for the certain cell by text, even if the cell is not visible?
1) Can I check how many rows do I have in my ui-grid table?
As long as the row is in the DOM, you can access it. However, if it's not visible you won't be able to do any operation on it (e.g. click). To get number of table rows you can use count:
$$('table tr').count();
2) Can I search for the certain cell by text, even if the cell is not visible?
Yes, you can search for (but not interact with) the cell as long as it's in the DOM. It doesn't have to be visible. But selecting elements by their text is rather fragile, so you should try to use some other method, if possible.

How I can add a row and input field on button click in lotus note 8.5. form?

I have question about Lotus Note. I have form: http://i.stack.imgur.com/YWii6.jpg
In this form I need create bottom. With this buttom user can add new row with input field in this row to existing table. I find that kind of lotusscript from:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSVRGU_9.0.1/com.ibm.designer.domino.main.doc/H_EXAMPLES_ADDROW_METHOD_RTTABLE.html
But when I this script copied to this form, I get error "Object variable no set"
Then I tried this solotion:
LotusNotes 8.5 - Adding a row to a table with a button
And I again get the same error.
Can anybody tell me please, how I can create new row and input field in this row, when I pressed buttom "Add row"?
You can't make a table with a dynamic amount of rows in a Lotus Notes Form. There are two common ways to solve this:
Use child-documents; one document for each row; and show these documents using an embedded view. This is the most elegant imho.
Create a large, fixed-elements table, and hide the rows that are not needed (for instance, by checking the presence of an input in the preceding row. This is OK for small amounts of row, but performance starts getting bad if you have too many rows.
It seems you are a bit confused as to the difference between a form (your picture) and a document (the code you link). Also, you definitely need to understand the meaning of "Object variable not set", which is the most common error when you use Lotusscript.
Anyhow, where to go from here depends on how you plan using the data once it is input. Will it be edited ? Will each row need to be handled as a separate record ?

Is there a hover Event for a table row in a TableViewer

i have a JFace table-viewer, which consists of large number of rows, i thought that it would be better if there is a short description for each row,as a workaround i was trying to implement doubleclick listner but that's not apt to my need,i don't know if there is an event like hover for this,which shows a tooltip containing a brief info about the particular row.
The answer to this question depends somewhat on the exact implementation of your table viewer. Having said that, the primary options are:
Add a MouseTrackListener to the underlying table
Add a SWT Listener for SWT.MouseHover to the underlying table
If you use a CellLabelProvider, have a look at the various getToolTip...(Object) methods
For the first two, you have to figure out the row element yourself - look at event.item.getData(), whereas that is provide to you in the last option...
