TableExComboBox

[pablovilas]

Hello,

Is there any way to show a real (with close, maximize, buttons) popup in a TableExComboBox?. Or just I have write my own ExComboBox component?.

Thanks.

You might have to override TableExComboBox#createPopupComponent() to achieve your goal. However, where do you want to maximize if the customer click the maximize button? In next regular release, the popup component would be able to be resized by default.

Thanks,

I just want to see a window like in MultilineStringExComboBox but with the jTable inside and maximize box. Because my "Selection Panel" it´s more complex and I want to use it generically.

BTW: If you set the JTable as a SortableTable with AutoFilterTableHeader, that just don´t work because user cannot type any filter word, the ExComboBox doesn´t loose focus and just don´t let you write in filters input text.

Please try to invoke tableComboBox.setPopupType(ExComboBox.DIALOG) to have the effect you want.

Can you please describe the focus issue a little bit more? As I can see, after drop down the popup panel, you could still enter characters to search it. If you do have focus issue, please give the following code a try.

Code: Select all

        TableExComboBox tableComboBox = new TableExComboBox(DemoData.createQuoteTableModel()) {
            @Override
            protected JTable createTable(TableModel model) {
                final SortableTable sortableTable = new SortableTable(model);
                AutoFilterTableHeader header = new AutoFilterTableHeader(sortableTable);
                header.setAutoFilterEnabled(true);
                header.setUseNativeHeaderRenderer(true);
                sortableTable.setTableHeader(header);
                return sortableTable;
            }

            @Override
            public PopupPanel createPopupComponent() {
                PopupPanel popupComponent = super.createPopupComponent();
                popupComponent.setRequestFocusEnabled(true);
                popupComponent.setFocusable(true);
                return popupComponent;
            }
        };


Thanks,

Well, using:

Code: Select all

tableComboBox.setPopupType(ExComboBox.DIALOG);

there is no focus problem, but if you try to run this code no focus to input filter text it´s available (I cannot search anything).

Code: Select all

MyTableExCombobox tableComboBox = new MyTableExCombobox(new QuoteTableModel()) {
        @Override
            protected JTable createTable(TableModel model) {
               
               SortableTable sortableTable = new SortableTable(model);
               
               
               AutoFilterTableHeader cabezal = new AutoFilterTableHeader(sortableTable) {
                  
                private static final long serialVersionUID = -8981103560551395381L;

                @Override
                   protected IFilterableTableModel createFilterableTableModel(TableModel model) {
                       return new FilterableTableModel(model) {
                           private static final long serialVersionUID = 7072186511643823323L;

                           @Override
                           public boolean isColumnAutoFilterable(int column) {
                              return true;
                           }

                           @Override
                           public boolean isValuePredetermined(int column) {
                              return true;
                           }                      
                       };
                   }

                   @Override
                   protected void customizeAutoFilterBox(AutoFilterBox autoFilterBox) {
                       super.customizeAutoFilterBox(autoFilterBox);
                       autoFilterBox.setSearchingDelay(-1);
                   }
                  
                  
               };
              
               cabezal.setAutoFilterEnabled(true);
               cabezal.setAcceptTextInput(true);
               sortableTable.setTableHeader(cabezal);
              
               TableHeaderPopupMenuInstaller installer = new TableHeaderPopupMenuInstaller(sortableTable);
               installer.addTableHeaderPopupMenuCustomizer(new AutoResizePopupMenuCustomizer());
               installer.addTableHeaderPopupMenuCustomizer(new TableColumnChooserPopupMenuCustomizer());
               
               
                return sortableTable;
            }
        };
        tableComboBox.setValueColumnIndex(1); // display the second column value in the combobox.
        tableComboBox.setSelectedItem("ALCOA INC");
        tableComboBox.setMaximumRowCount(12);
        tableComboBox.setEditable(true);

MyTableExComboBox Class:

Code: Select all

public class MyTableExComboBox extends TableExComboBox{
   
   public MyTableExComboBox (TableModel model) {
      super(model);
   }
   
   @Override
   public PopupPanel createPopupComponent() {
      
      PopupPanel panel = super.createPopupComponent();
      panel.setRequestFocusEnabled(true);
      panel.setFocusable(true);
      
      return panel;
   }
}

Anything else you need please let me know. Greetings.

Also I think by default if using

Code: Select all

tableComboBox.setPopupType(ExComboBox.DIALOG);

The selection should not follow mouse movements because we have an accept, cancel buttons. Of corse it´s not a real selection (you need double click to select).But it's very confusing
that selection highlight follows mouse.
When you use the default popup this it´s cool because you just want double click one and close the popup at same time.

Thanks.

Will add an option to turn off the feature that mouse over could make selection. I'm afraid there is no easy solution to let the AutoFilterTableHeader to obtain focus if the popup type is POPUP.

Thanks,

Okay, thank you very much.

Just so you know, this is fixed in 3.2.3 just released.

Thanks,
