I have a CellTable with a bunch of cells that render to <input> tags. Tabbing between the inputs is broken because of CellTable's fancy event processing. It seems that tab inspires each cell to finishEditing, but that in turn hogs the focus and the focus never gets to the next <input>.
Setting tabIndex on each input does not seem to affect the behavior.
How can I restore the usual tabbing functionality?
I recently figured this out. Annoying, but simple once you find the magic.
Create a new Cell type to use in your table, as the stock TextInputCell specifies a tab index of -1. Basically do everything that TextInputCell does, but dont specify any tab index in your template.
Disable the default keyboard navigation on your CellTable. cellTable.setKeyboardSelectionPolicy(KeyboardSelectionPolicy.DISABLED)
This should result in a normal tab navigation in your CellTable.
Disabling KeyboardSelectionPolicy may not work on all views, if you are using any MVP frameworks. GWT selects the cell instead of the input field within the cell.
Here is a solution which I used in my applications: Adding TAB control to GWT CellTable
the solution from Ben Imp works fine if you dont change the value of the cell, but if you change the value and try to navigate with tab to the next cell it lost focus and starts with the first element of the view. I have not found a solution for this inappropriate behaviour.
For those looking at this in the future trying to figure out how to have tabbing while changing values, do what the Ben Imp suggests then also in your custom components remove any reference to super.finishEditing. In some cases this means overriding finishEditing and having it do nothing.

Thanks.
The table plugin's documentation can be found here:
https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/plugins/table/
There is not a way to hide these specific fields via configuration so your best solution would be to copy the table plugin and modify the code that displays these dialogs to hide the elements you don't want shown.
As a hack, you could simply add a "display:none!important" style targetting the elements you want to have hidden in the dialogs.
I advise against removing them from the DOM, as the tinyMCE plugin could be targeting them, thus generating javascript errors in the console, and possibly breaking things. Hiding them is a much safer hack.
Is there a way to add a custom column menu tab with my own favourite icon which on click would render my custom react component?
something like
myColDef.menuTabs: ['generalMenuTab', 'filterMenuTab', 'myCustomMenuTab']
FYI I'm using v12.0.2
What you're after can't be done I'm afraid. The grid supports React components in all sorts of ways (renderers, editors, filters etc), but not via the column menu.
I've updated the docs page to remove the gibberish issue - it'll be fixed properly in the next release, thanks for highlighting this.
This would be helpful to have. In particular for us, we'd like to filter based off row properties, and not row values. Creating our own tab to filter by cell colors that we have assigned with our own set of labels would be useful.
I agree that it would be a nice feature to have. Apparently, there's no quick out-of-the-box solution to do it. The only workaround I see is to implement your own custom Header component which would display any buttons your want.
There you can put a button to open your own custom menu, which you can implement as any regular UI component. It also means you'll need to manually implement all standard menu options that Ag-Grid provides out of the box if you need them.
I have a question. I am trying to create an expandable FAQ menu without using a tableviewcontroller. The reason I don't want to use a tableview is because I don't want expandable cells, rather, I want a buttonclick to reveal a label while also sliding down any other buttons on this page.
I'm using Swift in Xcode 7.3
If anyone has any suggestions/knows of a tutorial/a forum post, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Sure,nyou could use buttons, and either change constraints on label heights or dynamically add labels. That's a lot of effort and code.
Or, you could use a table view and one of the myriad guides. Remember that table views don't have to be selectable on ever row, and they don't have to display row separator lines (UI).
Indeed you could disable selection on all rows and add buttons to some rows, though I'd personally say that's overkill and why require the user to be 100% accurate with the tap on a button which in your sample image doesn't even look like a button.
I have a cellTable with 5-6 columns. I want to put a plus icon in each row on clicking of which will display the details maybe in a disclosure panel. I have been looking around for a while now and I cannot find any information on how to achieve this. Could someone point me in the right direction?
i suspect i probably have to add a cellTree to the column? how do i go about this?
Thank you for your response in advance.
There is work in progress to allow expandable rows in CellTable among other features (maybe GWT 2.3). You can see more details here:
http://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit-contributors/browse_thread/thread/b4a8a6e3c98ac061#
If that is not enough or you can not wait untill it is released I can think of two ways to achieve it:
As you said, using a CellTree.
Creating a custom cell that stores
state (open/close). Depending on the
state the cell will render
differently. In same way it is
similar to how EditTextCell works, in
"edit" state it renders an input
field while in "normal" state it renders
simple text.
I'm trying to do that too ... I managed to mimic that functionality toying with the html and a custom cell class that allows clickable pictures.
It is working for normal content such as text but if you'd like to get an asynchronous data to show in the expended line, I don't know how to do it ... (I'm trying to do exactly that).
Also, it doesn't look good because the columns don't align well ...
So what I've done is:
- create a custom cell class to display a picture (right pointing triangle, looking like the triangle in the disclosure panel)
In the click event get the HTML code of the selected row and copy it. Replace the content of the row (all cells) in the table with only one cell with its colspan set to number of columns. In the cell, add a table with first line the copied row and second line the content to display as expanded.
Get the image to sink an event for closing. In event, reset the original row that we copied.
I hope it helps.
I'm trying to build a website similar to kayak.com, at least with respect to how it displays and filters results. I'm using GWT and have built a Composite widget which uses a CellList to display the results.
I'm not happy with how the cells are selectable. I've tried setting the SelectionModel of the CellList to an instance of NoSelectionModel, but that doesn't seem to work. Really, I just want to display some text and a few hyperlinks in each cell and only give the user visual feedback (change the mouse pointer, etc.) when the mouse is over a hyperlink.
See if this works for you:

Use
cellList.setKeyboardSelectionPolicy(KeyboardSelectionPolicy.DISABLED);
to disable selection on a CellList.
