I want my CheckboxCell to control the selected state of each row - gwt

I've got a CellTable with a column rendered with a CheckboxCell. I want to check the boxes to select the rows.
The default behavior with CheckboxCell(false, false) is tantalizingly close to my goal - selecting a row checks the checkbox, and de-selecting a row unchecks the checkbox. However, if I click a checkbox, it unselects any already-selected rows. Even worse, when I uncheck a checkbox, the row is not deselected. Argh!
I'm looking at coding my own cell now (or messing with the SelectionModel?), but this seems like behavior Google might have been trying for. I've tried every permutation of values in the constructor, to no avail. Is there a simple override I can add to finally make my dream... a reality?

You know how you can search for 30 minutes, and then 20 seconds after you post your question you find your answer?
Well, it turns out that to unleash the power of the CheckboxCell, you need to pass a Handler that is equipped to deal with the complexities of the situation. Try
setSelectionModel(selectionModel, DefaultSelectionEventManager.<T> createCheckboxManager());
with your MultiSelectionModel selectionModel - the selectionModel itself is not enough!

How to configure agGrid grouping so it works like an accordion

is it possible to configure agGrid grouping so that it behaves like an accordion i.e. only one group can be expanded and when opening new group previously opened is closed?
Not sure if this answers your question, but I am sure this might be the only direction you'll have.
There is a method provided on gridApi - onGroupExpandedOrCollapsed
So I think (again, need to check) that this function would be called as its name suggests, and you can collapse the other rows (whichever is opened) and achieve your functionality.
Be cautious while using this as there is comment given by ag-grid
we don't really want the user calling this if one one rowNode was
expanded, instead they should be calling rowNode.setExpanded(boolean)
- this way we do a 'keepRenderedRows=false' so that the whole grid gets refreshed again - otherwise the row with the rowNodes that were
changed won't get updated, and thus the expand icon in the group cell
won't get 'opened' or 'closed'.

How do I set size of colums in a table subform datasheet view in MS Access

I have a subform bugging me. The mainform contains buttons etc. Everytime the user close/open the form, the columns width is reset to whatever the table likes. If i open the table directly, the size is as i want. If i change it in the subform, it is not saved. (See screendump)
I would like "Phase" to stay about 2 cm width. I can enter the subform and edit the "Width" but that is only applied to the other views.
I hope you can help, Emil.
I realize this post is almost 2 years old, but I ran into the same problem and came across this post.
I am running MS Access 2013 on Windows 7 Ultimate. I did not find the solutions offered here to work for me, so, I set out to find something that would work for me before I went to VBA code. (Incidentally, I appreciate the link offered by #Patrick_Honorez in his comment on the original post because that was going to be my fall-back solution.)
Anyway, here is what worked for me and I hope perhaps it will work for others as well:
Open the parent form.
In the subform, right-click the column header
for the column for which you wish to adjust the width.
Select the “Field Width” item from the context menu.
In the “Column Width” dialog that appears in step 3, enter the desired column width in points, or, use the [Best Fit] button. Then click the [OK] button to close the dialog and return to the form.
Right-click the parent form’s border to bring up the parent form’s context menu. Click the “Save” item in the context menu.
Now close the parent form.
The next time the form is loaded, the column widths should be as set it step 4 above--at least they are for my setup.
I see this post is quite old and OP must have figured someway to tackle the issue. I came across same issue today and found solution on this link.
For anybody else having same issue, use following code (I modified the code a little because original code from the above mentioned post saves column width of only text boxes but my form has combo boxes too, column width of which was not getting saved) in close and open events of your subform and then open main form in Form View and then manually select desired widths either by mouse, by entering column width value or using best fit. Save the form and reopen to check results. That's it.
Private Sub Form_Close()
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
If (ctrl.ControlType = acTextBox Or ctrl.ControlType = acComboBox) Then
SaveSetting "propertiesDBS", Me.Name, ctrl.Name, ctrl.ColumnWidth
End If
Next
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim ctrl As Control
Dim frm As Form
Dim w As Long
For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
If (ctrl.ControlType = acTextBox Or ctrl.ControlType = acComboBox) Then
w = GetSetting("propertiesDBS", Me.Name, ctrl.Name, 0)
If w <> 0 Then ctrl.ColumnWidth = w
End If
Next
End Sub
I know this is late to the party and most likely going to be the last comment anyone reads, but this can be done quite simply in MS Access 2016 - by someone like myself who has no more than 4 days experience in databasing overall and no experience with writing custom Macro's or VB Script (using only what is native to MS Access).
Here's how I did it.
Scenario - Split Form (Form + Datasheet).
Extra Recommendations:
It pays to be across all properties of every object type in your database, as a change in a field property can cause unpredictable erratic effects, which take ages to figure out why it happened and how to stop it from happening again, whilst delivering your desired outcome.
Me.Requery in your VBA script after every necessary event and also in your main form (generally the 'After Update' event is used most), and be wary that too many Me.Requery's (in unnecessary events) can also be detrimental - so too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.
Bottom Line Up Front - Modify the format of your query that is to be exported/printed.
In 'Design View' of the query you are concerned with, ensure that the fields are in the order you need them outputted in first as this is exactly how the macro will present them for export/print (example could be "Australia" then "Northern Territory" then "Town's In The Northern Half Of The State" then "Darwin" then "Suburbs In The Northern Half Of City").
Switch to 'DataSheet View' in the same query and use the top left folded over triangle looking thingy to highlight the entire data set then right click that same triangle to present an options menu. Select 'Row Height' and type in "15" (default row height in Excel).
Deselect the entire spreadsheet and this time select every column (left click the left most column, hold shift button, scroll over to the right to the far end of the data set and click the last column) and then right click one of the highlighted columns to present another menu. Select 'Field Width' and within that new pop-up menu select 'Best Fit' and then 'OK'.
(Optional - not sure if this helps or hinders but I did it for my purpose) With the columns still selected right click one of the highlighted columns again and select 'Freeze Fields'.
My scenario had buttons with macros configured to run filtered reports so I was able to check this by simply clicking any of those buttons and seeing the report formatting, which it held true to the work I had just done. I exported using another button with a macro that exports to Excel with 'Print Formatting' selected (my main form also had the datasheet view as the only thing that could be printed and was also set in 'Print' formatting.
The Excel spreadsheet opened with all row heights and column widths in a way that I could read every field/record with perfect ease and without extra modification.
This also worked for cascaded combo boxes, with the export only outputting the 'drilled down/filtered' datasheet records, in a format that required no further modifications.
Hope this helps someone, as its saved my hide! :)
Open the Main form in Design. Go to the SubForm. Click on the square at the top left of the SubForm and select 'Properties'. Right-Click the control 'Phase' and click 'Properties'.Click the 'Format' tab and select 'Width'. What do you see there? That should control the widht of control 'Phase' unless you have some overriding coding elsewhere. Input the size you want and see what happens.
Use continuous forms instead. It gives you complete control over how your subform displays.
If you open your subform directly, your property sheet menu should display automatically if the default view is "Datasheet." Click on "All" and change the "Auto Resize" property to "No." This should solve the issue and avoid the need for VBA.
This only works when you open the subform separately. So if you want the changes to be reflected within your main form, you'll have to close it and switch back and forth.
Super annoying by default.
It seems to work as one would expect of you set the view mode to layout view. Drag column widths as needed and save. Go back to form view and it works. It's really dumb it doesn't work the same way in form view our design view.
In Access 365, open main form, right-click sub-form datasheet columns that need width adjustment, use the Field Width to adjust, click on border of main form to select Layout view, and save changes.
Open subform in datasheet view (by double click on subform in the left pannel)
Resize columns as you want by dragging or by right-click the column header for the column for which you wish to adjust the width and select the “Field Width” item from the context menu.
Right-click the subform border to bring up the context menu. Click the “Save” item in the context menu.
Either open the Main Form in Layout View or directly open your Subform in Datasheet View. Right Click on the Field Header, select Field Width, and enter the desired width. Save. Bewm.
My solution (Access 2016) was to create the main & subform, recreate the subform on its own using form wizard and set it up the way I want it, rename the original subform to something else, and finally rename the recreated subform to the original form name. Open the main form and the subform should be laid out the way you want it. You can then delete the original subform you renamed.

GWT- Celltable Selection issue (weird selection)

I have got a little problem with Celltables... I'm kind of newbie in GWT so need your help to figure it out =))
problem is quite simple, when I click on a row (or on a checkbox of particular row), this row becomes selected and gets blue , like on this picture :
http://s020.radikal.ru/i706/1311/f1/3de6ae1d0b9f.jpg
Then, all of a sudden (after 2-3 sec) selected row becomes unchecked and uncoloured, but it's selected as you see on a label above, see pic :
http://s57.radikal.ru/i155/1311/6c/4dc4872886d7.jpg
All I want is that it doesn't uncheck and receive default color by itself, I want it to stay in blue. here is the code fragment I use to generate my celltable: http://pastebin.com/HHeJHXpv

GWT 2.4 DataGrid automatic scrolling when selecting an item

I am using GWT 2.4's new DataGrid in a project. I configured the DataGrid with a pagesize of 50.
The available screen is not big enough to display all items and thus a vertical scrollbar is shown (this is actually the main purpose for using a DataGrid in the first place).
I attached a SingleSelectionModel to the DataGrid in order to be able to select items.
This works fine so far.
However I also have another widget with which the user can interact. Based on that user action a item from the DataGrid should be selected.
Sometimes the selected item is not in the visible screen region and the user has to scroll down in the DataGrid to see it.
Is there any way to automatically or manually scroll down, so that the selected item is visible?
I checked the JavaDocs of the DataGrid and found no appropriate method or function for doing that.
Don't know if this works, but you could try to get the row element for the selection and use the scrollIntoView Method.
Example Code:
dataGrid.getRowElement(INDEX_OF_SELECTED_ITEM).scrollIntoView();
The answer above works pretty well, though if the grid is wider than your window and has a horizontal scroll bar, it also scrolls all the way to the right which is pretty annoying. I was able to get it to scroll down and stay scrolled left by getting the first cell in the selected row and then having it scroll that into view.
dataGrid.getRowElement(dataGrid.getVisibleItems().indexOf(object)).getCells().getItem(0).scrollIntoView();
Don't have time to try it out, but DataGrid implements the interface HasRows, and HasRows has, among other things, a method called setVisibleRange. You just need to figure out the row number of the item that you want to focus on, and then set the visible range from that number n to n+50. That way the DataGrid will reset to put that item at the top (or near the top if it is in the last 50 elements of the list backing the DataGrid). Don't forget to redraw your DataGrid.
Have you already looked at this? If so, I'd be surprised that it didn't work.
Oh, and since this is one widget talking to another, you probably have some messaging set up and some message handlers so that when the user interacts with that second widget and "selects" the item, the message fires on the EventBus and a handler for that message fixes up the DataGrid along the lines I've described. I think you'll have to do this wiring yourself.
My solution, a little better:
dataGrid.getRow(model).scrollIntoView();
I got a Out of bounds exception doing the above.
I solved it getting the ScrollPanel in the DataGrid and used .scrollToTop() and so on on the ScrollPanel. However, to access the ScrollPanel in the DataGrid I had to use this comment:
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=6865
As Kem pointed out, it's annoying the "scrollToRight" effect after the scrollIntoView. After me, Kem's solution gives a better behaviour than the base one as usually the first columns in a table are the more meaningful.
I improved a bit his approach, which scrolls horizontally to the first column of the row we want to be visible, by calculating the first visible column on the left before applying the scroll and then scrolling to it.
A final note: Columns absolute left is tested against "51". This is a value I found "experimentally" by looking the JS values in the browser's developer tool, I think it depends on the table's style, you may need to change/calculate it.
Below the code:
public void scrollIntoView(T next) {
int index = datagrid.getVisibleItems().indexOf(next);
NodeList<TableCellElement> cells = datagrid.getRowElement(index).getCells();
int firstVisibleIndex = -1;
for(int i=0; i<cells.getLength() && firstVisibleIndex<0;i++)
if(UIObject.isVisible(cells.getItem(i)) && (cells.getItem(i).getAbsoluteLeft() > 51) && (cells.getItem(i).getAbsoluteTop() > 0))
firstVisibleIndex = i;
cells.getItem(firstVisibleIndex>=0? firstVisibleIndex : 0).scrollIntoView();
}

DataGridViewComboBoxCell selectioindexchange event

I have a data-grid and three column in it. one column is type of DataGridViewComboBoxCell, three items are in this grid combo box, now i have to invoke selection index changed event to change value according to combo value change in grid.
also help me to make a new event ....
please help...
thanks
I really can't understand your question.
But maybe these informations can help:
A ComboBoxColumn has always two kinds of controls. A presenting one (in most cases a label) which is individually for each row. And a editing one that will be shared for the whole column. So take a look into this documentation and the IDataGridViewEditingControl Interface.
Maybe these will give you a starting point on how to solve your problem.
In the Load event for the form, you need to get the cell that you want to add the handler to and cast it as a regular combo box. You can then add the event handler on SelectedIndexChanged, but it must be done programmatically, and depending on the language you are using.
