| XViewer - An SWT Widget with the power of the spreadsheet. |
| |
| Abstract: |
| |
| SWT widgets such as the table and tree viewer allow the Eclipse application developer to represent large amounts of data in a clear and concise format. Advancements in these widgets allow for more flexibility in how the user wishes to view the data. An example is the drag/drop of columns to change their order. These are a great step forward, but do we really have to give up the power of the spreadsheet? |
| |
| The XViewer has been created as an extension to the TreeViewer to allow the ability to |
| |
| 1) perform simple filter of all visible data using a keyword |
| 2) filter on any column by string or regular expression |
| 3) allow columns to be hidden or re-ordered |
| 4) provide for customized sorting of column data |
| 5) perform a multi-column sorting in the order of the selected columns |
| 6) have simple table reports including exporting to comma separated value files |
| |
| This talk will introduce the application developer to this widget and display not only the current capabilities, but those planned for the future. |
