Hi Tom,
I can't make any sense out of that code either! I'll try to
clean it up to make it usable.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Editing "disabled" TableView column data
Re: load and store in the bean objects: I can't find any example. It looks to
me like cell editor Components load data via JSON.get, but that this binding
can be overridden.
What would really help right now is some feedback on the DataBindingTest
(org.apache.pivot.tests). I can't make any sense of it.
Thanks,
Tom

Definitely row/cell editors use data binding to "load" and "store" values into
your TableView data objects. So, the super of your RowEditor will call the
"load" method before beginning the edit, and then at the end of the edit will
call "store". It is up to you to implement these methods on your bean objects.
I should be able to give you a better explanation later today -- have some
appointments...
Thanks,

So far I derived a TableViewCellRenderer that can render a cell as "disabled".
The trick then is to process this information in the TableViewRowEditor, which
I have done by creating my own. (I found it difficult to extend Pivot's -
basically wound it copying it and renaming it.)
My RowEditor can now disable the appropriate CellEditor Component. So far so
good.
At the moment I am wrestling with understanding TableView data binding.
It seemed like I was heading down a path of endlessly extending Components.
So far it looks like I can have an "editable" property in a custom TableView
cell class (OlympicStanding).
I know I can disable CellEditors. Right now the only unknown is how editor
Components will bind to custom objects in cells.
Let me know if I'm making this more complicated than it is.
Thanks

Hi Tom,
welcome to Pivot and sorry for the delay.
What do you mean by disabled data ?
A row that's not editable ?
I remember a prototype made by a user (but never proposed for a real inclusion
in Pivot) to select or render cells in a different way ... do you need
something like this ?
Anyway we have some example of table row editing, I can give you more details.
Note that in our sources in svn (both branch 2.0.x and trunk) there is an
example subproject with some not so trivial samples.
On documentation I know that could be improved, and any help is welcome :-) ...
Note that all our mailing lists are public so you can find many info in some
indexing services like Nabble.
Bye,
Sandro

Here's one condition that I could use some guidance on.
I've basically figured out how to display data ini a TableView as "disabled".
This basically involves examining the data in context and rendering an
appropriate style. So far so good.
But once identified as "disabled", how should I go about disallowing editing of
the column?
That ends my question. Editorial comments follow:
I've been wading through the project and so far have been quite impressed.
Between the web docs, the API docs, tutorials, examples, demos, tests and
source code, there is not much that someone with time and patience can't figure
out.
Two observations are that many of the examples tend to be very simple and that
Google is not much help.
Thanks!
Tom
