Is it possible to add a Remove button to a cell in a table?
I have a table with 5 columns, I would like to add a 6th column. I want the 6th column to have a remove button in each row.
Example Row:
| 10002 | part | Metal | 001 | Yes | Remove |
That way the user can remove any unwanted rows by just clicking the button.
I have a markup column in the table and it is ComboBox. I created a class that extends EditingSupport.
Would I need to make a another class extending EditingSupport, but creating a button instead of ComboBox?
EDIT
