John, can you elaborate what <div><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"><div><ul><li>Expandable rows (really, a fully customizable table builder, probably post GWT 2.3)</li></ul></div><div>means?</div><div><br></div>
<div>I'm currently working on adding groupability to a copy of celltable and its hierarchy. Will the fully customizale table builder be the solution I'm looking for? </div></span></div></blockquote><div><br></div>
</div><div>The idea with TableBuilder is that you can build a CellTable with any table structure, using row spans, column spans, and Cells wherever you want. I haven't even started on the API, but at a high level, you will be given a row value and a TableBuilder, and you render 0 or more rows that represent the value into the TableBuilder. In the simplest case, you render a single row with some columns, each containing one Cell that maps to a field in the row value. However, you can do any of the following:</div>
<div><ul><li>Create "expandable rows" by rendering multiple rows to represent the row value and index all but the first row</li><li>Insert a group header by making the first row span all columns</li><li>Create an error row beneath the rendered row to display an error</li>
<li>Insert multiple Cells within a column</li></ul></div><div>I working on the fixed headers now, so I won't even begin work on TableBuilder until May, with a goal to finish by the end of June.</div><div class="im"><div>
