Fixed or "frozen" columns in table inside Eclipse Scout

I am interesting into how implement "frozen" columns inside Eclipse Scout table.

I see solution with two tables https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/99484/, but I am looking if anyone has different solution, or this is the only one.

Solution

  • You are looking at what Excel describes as freeze panes?

    I afraid there is no support in Scout for this at the moment. You can file a change request in Bugzilla, but without any sponsoring (money or code contribution), it will be hard to implement this.

    You can have a look at the approach chosen by Karsten Thoms for the RAP-UI: Scout tables with fixed columns. He uses a custom field (he has extended the default RAP table).

    In my opinion, if we include this feature in Scout, it should be a property on each column (frozen = true / false) and not on the table.
