Hai Mohammed,

You just create a table with coloumns a,b and c(a-b).In the component controller context for 'c' you set the property calculated as true,then you will get two methods getter and setter.In the getter method you just return the difference like this.

public int getdiff()

{

return(obj.getA()-obj.getB());

}

you will get the result.

Hi ,

One more imp addition , make the variable "c" as read-Only.

Hi!

did u try creating a node for the same? create a value node for the table with 3 value attrbutes, one for each column. then in the init method of that view, just create 3 arrays, setting the value in the first two array. then make use of this code for setting the difference in the thrid column

IPrivateUIView.I<valuenode> tab_node = wdContext.node<valuenode>();

for(int i= 0; i<6;i++)

{

IPrivate<view>.I<valueelement> num_ele = tab_node.create<valueelement>();

num_ele.set<valueattribute1>(num1<i>);

num_ele.set<valueattribute2>(num2<i>);

num_ele.set<diffvalueattribute>(num1<i>-num2<i>);

wdContext.node<valuenode>().addElement(num_ele);

}

this will surely work .

Do let me know the results.

Hai,

Create a table with coloumns bind the datanode--Data(a,b,diff attributes).

ArrayList al =new ArrayList();
for(int i=0;i<wdContext.nodeData().size();i++){
IprivateXXView.IdataElement ele=wdContext.createDataElement();
ele.setA(wdContext.nodeData().getDataElement(i).getA());
ele.setB(wdContext.nodeData().getDataElement(i).getB());
ele.setDiff(wdContext.nodeData().getDataElement(i).getB()-wdContext.nodeData().getDataElement(i).getA());
al.add(ele);
}
wdContext.nodeData().bind(al);
