Hi James,

yes this could be possible, maybe one solution could be to make your own TableCellRenderer.

You have to do this by making a new class, maybe you could use a JLable as SuperClass, and you must Implement the Interface TableCellRenderer. You first have to search for this class via the menu

Project->References(Classpath)

and then add it by checking the checkmark in front of TableCellRenderer



in your new class type:



Jabaco then automatically will add the following function to your class:



and you have to add this line to this function:

I'm trying to reproduce this Application in Jabaco.



Notice the multi line Header, and how it is arranged.
I've read a bit on methods of creating multiline headers, but I have not located anything on combining cells.
Also Note that in some cases the text is centered in the header.
Though I can align text in the cells right, left or centered with the .DataMatrix().TextAlign property, I could not find a similar method to align text in the header.
I've tried a work around by using 2 JBGrids, the one at the top with only a header to use as a top header line. That works only until you need to scroll a grid horizontally. The Top header line, being another JBGrid, is not syncronized to scroll with it.

So my questions before I just give up as if "You can't get there from here".
Is there a way to reproduce the grid layout just pictured?
Lacking that, is there a way to syncronize the scrolling of 2 separate JBGrids?
I noticed the the JBGrid doesn't have a scroll event, nor is it clear where I might set the scroll position through code. So I am at a loss how to capture that event, let alone to sync a second grid to it.

Any help with this would be appreciated, even if "You can't get there from here". At least I could stop beating myself up over it.

Hey there Perry,

Quoted

multiline headers

I would say that's not a multiline header but multiple headers!
Not easy to achieve since JTable does not support a second header by default.
Your approach sounds fine to me.
Did you look at my JBGrid sample App?

attached .zip

I showed how to scoll vertically. Maybe that will help with horizontally scrolling too!
I will look into it but I don't have the time right now.

The centered text is not a problem. You will have to create a new property '.HeaderAlign' in JBGrid.jsrc and do the alignment in the JBHeaderRenderer.jsrc

I have it here somewhere!


Also: search stackoverflow and find Java equivalents, you will get the idea...
