Hi Amit,

I faced similar design issue but was not able to do it directly in a single table.... what i did was i used differnt tables with single row.... layout here will be row layout for transparent container in which you will be inserting all the tables.... now for every table keep the layout as rowdata dont use rowhead data to change the line it will automatically come one below other.....

but one thing that i want to tell you my UI was not that complicated.... and also you have to insert too many nodes for every table.. so coding will also bring some complications..........

Of course you can. You need to read about table cell editors and variants:

Within a table column, you can insert multiple cell editors and assign them to a different variant. Then at the tableColumn level you have a property called selectedCellVariant. You can data bind this property and then the attribute you are bound to will control which cell editor/UI element is used for a particular row of the table.

Hi,

Using the CELLVARIANT you can achieve this.
