I am currently testing out tableview in JavaFX. Is there any way where I can add a empty row on top for filtering like in the image underneath(print screen from Microsoft AX)? The empty row marked with yellow is purely used for filtering, and if you write in any of the columns it will filter by that.

I'd like to make an NSTableView highlight its selected rows as if one was right-clicked.
When a selected row is right-clicked (and if the table view implements a menu), the view draws a rectangle at the perimeter of each block of selected rows. This is the default behaviour. See below:
I want the table to do that outside of the context of a right-click. FYI, this is to implement a custom dragging Destination Feedback Style to make clear that some action will be applied on the selected rows.
I can programmatically select rows, but not make them highlight in this way.
Still, Appkit must have some method for that since it does it upon right-click.
I could find a solution involving subclassing NSTableView or NSTableRowView, but there may be a simple solution.
Thanks.
I want to create a datagrid that has cells that are vertically next to each other and has the same name merged. Tried to google many sources but couldn't find any help.
This is not possible with Clarity in a datagrid, as this breaks the pattern of rows holding content atomically. Pagination, rendering, sorting, filtering would all be much more complex to implement and understand for the user.
I would suggest that you use a regular table which can have column or row spans attached to a cell, or just have each row repeat the content in the cell instead of trying to merge it.
In need of building a desktop application to deal table data imported from csv files, I have been working with JavaFX few months.
Now, I have hit a problem: I can't select multi-column in a tableview. What I want to do is that in my application users can select two columns, then trigger a button to combinate them into a new column and append the new one into the tableview. But it seem that JavaFX's TableView do not support to select multi-column or even a single column. In Swing I can finish this work easily with the link Java Swing Tutorials to Use Table.
However, I have done by adding listeners to column headers and setting corresponding trigger action like lighlight the selected columns and adding the selected to a recording List so that as user press the button my application could know what user selected.
But I think there must be some way nicely to meet the demand. And so what is it? Please give some useful imformation or tourials.
I am new in Xamarin forms and I need to implement a table in Xamarin forms. Requirement is-
Initially table will be empty and has four columns. After feeling form and clicking on submit button, new entry will be added in table. First column is Test, second column is single radio button, third column is again single radio button and forth column is button to delete that row it self.
I need to know which approach will be suitable to implement this requirement. Is it grid layout or tableview or something else.
Consider Table View use cases vs List View use cases. Table views are meant for static content. You should really consider a list view for dynamic content. (like adding a row with views) Being new to Xamarin.Forms, you should take the time to read completely through the documentation as (at least for me) it wasn't straightforward. Also, consider a WebView as radio buttons are not going to play nicely across platforms, and your problem would be easily solvable with jQuery.
The TableView still leaves a lot to be desired. Does anyone have a more complex example of a TableView that you would like to share? Here's what I'm missing:
Insert and Delete row:
Possible solutions:
press TAB on the last cell and new row gets inserted automatically
right mouse button -> context menu -> insert line (or delete line)
a table footer with table navigation and insert/delete buttons (like MS Access)
keyboard shortcut
...
Insert and Delete should be either at the current row position or at the bottom of the table. Of course the new row should be highlighted.
Copying / Duplication of rows inside the TableView
Copy selected cells to the clipboard
(solution exists: copy multiple cells to clipboard, paste into table is missing)
Insert a row with default values
Type to Edit: I don't want to have to doubleclick on a cell first in order to edit it. When you type on a cell, the table should automatically go into edit mode.
Navigation options like e. g. TAB = cell in next column, ENTER = cell in next row
Filtering should be possible via components inside the tableview, not via components (TextField etc) outside of it. A filter indicator (like the sort indicator) would be nice.
Changing the visibility of columns should be convenient, not via multiple clicks of the tableview menu button (for every column you have to click the menu button separately to show the available columns). The tableview menu button should be customizable
(solutions exist with reflection and without reflection)
Row and column headers should be possible
Validation of cells, so that when you are in edit mode and enter text instead of digits into a numeric cell you get the option to cancel the edit mode and revert to the default value
A (fixed) table footer which could e. g. show the sum for each column would be nice
Freezing of columns (there's already a Jira task for this)
Some of these were covered partially years ago from what I've seen. But I couldn't get a clear How-To impression and maybe things have changed with JavaFX8.
In case someone likes to contribute to any of these mentioned features, please share your thoughts. Thank you very much.
