What about sorting ? [message #7097]

Hi,

I've got a look at this Nebula control, it looks interesting.

Is there a way to sort like the Table SWT component ?

What do you think of comp4swt - http://www.wdev91.com/comp4swt/ and its
FormattedText component (Date, Number and Mask formatter) ? Do you think
possible to add this kind of control in SWT ?

Thanks

Yes, you would sort the Grid exactly like you would sort Table (i.e. you
need to create dispose and recreate the items).

They look interesting. I'm sure SWT has considered similar widgets.
Nebula could benefit from widgets like these.

Chris,

do I understand this the right way? You are working with that (imho)
ugly create - dispose mechanism SWT does? Is there a special reason for
it or is it just for SWT interface compatibility (as I understood so
far, the nebula grid is drawn on a canvas - so it should be possible to
put the GridItem positions in a container, reorder this container by the
sort criteria and redraw them dynamically)?
Don't get me wrong, I have an huge amount of respect for your work, it
should just be a hint to think about (because for column reordering you
do not have to dispose and create columns again).
