Re: CAPI:GRID-WIDGET - what exactly do you need?

My needs are displaying stock market data, so in no particular order ...

Column and row headers.

Typing into a table cell.

Displaying drop-down (combo) boxes.

Sorting columns using sort controls at the top of each column.

Fast refresh.

Fast scrolling of thousands of rows.

Changing cell foreground and background.

Searching and scrolling to the row containing search results.

Keyboard bindings.

Removable row and column separators.

Over the years we have received many requests for a CAPI 'grid
widget'. If you would like this, we now want to read your specific and
detailed requirements.

Please don't start or perpetuate a debate about the details, or give
us general ideas: we just want to know your specific needs. We would
prefer explicit descriptions (rather than merely referring to Dmitri's
Ystok-Grid, Java's JTable, our grid-impl.lisp example, etc). Mention
the applications and platforms you have in mind. Send a private reply
if you prefer.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Re: CAPI:GRID-WIDGET - what exactly do you need?

Dmitry,

I appreciate your reply and don't want to hijack the thread.

I want to point out, though, that I have not been able to bring up YGrid with Mac LW 7.

I'll fix whatever is broken but it's gonna take me time, the time that I would have preferred to spend developing my product.

Thanks, Joel

P.S. I, for one, welcome our new CAPI:GRID-WIDGET overlords!

All these except drop-down boxes are supported by the free version of YGrid..

Drop-down boxes are implemented by the popup-column-mixin and
overlayed-choice-column superclasses available only in YGrid Pro.

YGrid is fast enough over thousands of rows, which is proved by
Ystok-Sportclub (connecting to an DBMS via ODBC) and Ystok-Tournament (using
a FASL-file-based storage) applications.

Re: CAPI:GRID-WIDGET - what exactly do you need?

I think the features that Jeff is requesting are what we are used to with Cocoa on Mac and iOS.

It allows for tables that display photo and video thumbnails, for example, where some rows may display a text label where a thumbnail is missing.

Improving rendering speed should be on the developer on the widget.
