Anyone know an open source component for a GWT Table with collapsible rows?
If you want to stick with "pure" GWT, check out the TreeTable (demo) from the GWT Incubator project - it seems exactly what you are looking for.
I believe SmartGWT is open source.
It contains a GridList widget, which supports collapsible rows. See the showcase here. This is of course not a table, as you asked for, but it comes quite close :)

Can you suggest me how to build a Table with Eclipse WindowBuilder Plugin and SWT?
I read the official docs but I found orrible example with fixed column size. I would like to build a Table who fit the parent container (I used composite) when it is resized.
P.S.: Maybe I should use Swing instead?? All valid example I have seen are with JTable..
Can you help me?
Thank you
Thank you for your reply!
I have to do a little GUI application for a friend, I'm not so practice nor with Swing neither with SWT.
Anyway I manage to do a Simple ApplicationWindow with menubar, some submenu item and a composite container under the menu where panel should appear when user clicks on menu item.
Than I manage to build a TableViewer inside that composite component.. but now I would like add another table in the same place (the table represents different thing and should appear or disappear when user click some menu button).
In Swing I see many example of CardLayout but nothing with SWT.
Can you suggest me a simple example of layered layout with SWT?? I have the impression that Swing is much more simple..
Thank you all
On my modest opinion, Swing is well documented than SWT and maybe more simple. I switched to it.
Thank you.
Does anybody have any idea on how to easily implement a image list(like the windows explorer with medium icons) control with swt? it seems like that it could be done easily with CListCtrl in c++ on windows, but does not seem to be easy with swt? any hints are appreciated!
Up to me, you need to create your own widget (check e.g. http://www.snip2code.com/Snippet/11489/Custom-SWT-List-Box) and add composite items to your custom list.
If vertical-only scrolling is enough, I suggest you rely on a single column TableViewer. This is what I did in a project where I needed a gallery-like window allowing the user to pick a graphical component based on displayed thumbnails.
You just need to implement the proper TableLabelProvider.getColumnImage and return the desired thumbnail corresponding to your list entry.
That gives a pretty decent list-like rendering.
In addition, TableViewer API is very well documented.
It seems swt table does't allow us to operate on multiple cells ?My application need a feature like this "select a range of cells, then copy cell text to excel, or paste text into cells".I think this will be a handy feature.
Any solution on this ?
best regards
Take a look at the nat table component, see http://www.nattable.org/drupal/
This component has many features that are not covered by the basic SWT table widget
For people reaching this, NatTable has been moved to Eclipse Nebula.
https://eclipse.org/nebula
It also contains Grid and XViewer as table alternatives.
I'm looking for a way to extend GWT FlexTable or CellTable to a "TreeTable". I want a table with expandable rows, and I want to be able to get the data from the sever when it's needed. So I don't want to populate the whole table (all levels) from the start.
Is it best to use a FlexTable or a CellTable to start with? Or are there any examples/plugins on the web for this?
All ideas and tips are appreciated!
I found a TreeTable widget at Google Web Toolkit Incubator . Here is the demo
I need to be able to display some data in Eclipse in a grid/table control... I need things like paging, multiple column sorting, column choosing, etc. There is an SWT Table and the Nebula project has a grid in alpha.
Does what I need exist? 3rd party maybe? Doesn't have to be free, we can pay for the functionality.
I haven't seen those features implemented in a reusable widget that I can think of, they are more application-level features.
Paging:
If you were to use the JFace-type viewers (SWT Table or Nebula Grid both support this style of MVC architecture, as do some others mentioned in this question), it should be possible to implement paging in the content provider, just by setting some custom offset into your dataset and then refreshing the grid.
Multiple Column Sorting:
You can do this, it just needs an implementation of the correct table sorting interface. You get passed two rows to compare, and you can compare whichever columns you like in the sorting algorithm. Again though, the interface for actually choosing which columns to sort is down to you.
Column Choosing:
This requires a grid control with cell selection. Nebula is one, SWT Table isn't. If cell selection is available, this is just a matter of catching the correct selection event (clicking on a header probably) and iterating over your rows to select the correct cells.
There is also a new "rising star" on the widget sky called "nattable 2.0". It is an opensource project and the development team is very responsive. You should take a look at nattable.org ...
You could use the facilities of table presentation offered by the BIRT plugin, that is if you are really advance table layout needs.

(otherwise the classic SWT TableViewer offers already some of the feature you are after
