Customized table view

[Eugene Kondrashev <eu...@gmail.com>]

Hi!

I need to implement a component that would be something between calendar and
table view.

Let me explain.
In general it should be a grid, much like ms excel grid with possibility to
select ranges of cells.
Cells should be clickable handle single and double clicks.

Described component is similar to the calendar with one difference, - I need
to render some panel in the cell along with the date itself.

And even more - displaying time period should be much more flexible. It
should include such time frames as:
- Quarlat view(three monthes) - it is the most general view with only three
cells and one row
- Month view (the classic calendar)
- Week view - 7 cells and 1 row
- Day view - 6 cells and 4 rows (24h)

In general, the dimension should be set one per creation time.

So, the question is what component should a take as a base?
Should it be a TableView or a Calendar itself?
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Eugene

Have you considered using a TableView with custom cell editors and renderers for this?

Eugene,

The Pivot Calendar Component uses TablePanes and Spinners to display
its data.  Have you had a look at the source code for its skin?  I
think that might help you a lot.

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/wtk-terra/src/org/apache/pivot/wtk/skin/terra/TerraCalendarSkin.java

Or consider getting the source for the entire project
