Exposing row and col span attributes just means a cell merging feature can be built on
ontop, it doesn't yet exist from an end user UI perspective. Nor is it enough to just
allow a user to set the row or col span settings on a table. The user needs to be able to
select a cell and drag to select other sells and press merge, as they do in excel. If drag
selection is hard to make work in multiple browsers, then we can work on a simpler
solution where they can select a cell then press a "merge" button and select
another cell to show the target range, it should highlight those cells and then have a
"merge cells?" dialogue box to OK it. As well we clicking a target cell the
dialgogue box could alternatively just have a row and col span setting to show the size of
the required merge. All merged areas should be able to expanded or shrinked after
creation.
We can keep things simple but only ever allowing straight rectantular shapes to be merged.
So if you have an existing merge and try to do another merge and they overlap, it'll
only work if it still forms a rectangle.
Replace extjs grid in decision tables and rule templates with a new
grid that suppors cell merging

Key: JBRULES-2706
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2706
Project: Drools
Issue Type: Feature Request
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: drools-guvnor
Affects Versions: 5.1.1.FINAL
Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet
Assignee: Geoffrey De Smet
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 5.2.0.M1
<conan> so what I'd like to do is get our dtable moved across to a new grid
<conan> but also for it to be updated so that it supports cell merging
<conan> the cell merging is essential for proper web based dtables
<conan> cbrock was working on errai grid that supports cell merging
<conan> manstis has been looking into it
<conan> he submitted some patches to errai but says it's a lot of work
<conan> to make it into a full component
<conan> he thinks that flex grid now has cell merging, but I doubt that.....
<conan> but he might be right in that it would be quicker to move the errai cell
merging code into a fork of the gwt flex grid
<conan> that try and move everything into errai grid that makes a grid workable
<conan> a second issue is that that the rule template
<conan> really should use the same grid as dtable grid
<conan> including the same mechanisms for driving possible values et
