Adding table to a view

[Former Member]

I have a start view and an result view.

On the result view table I would like to add a table with a few columns.

The data can also be static or hard coded since this is a prototype approach.

Can forum member's please advise on how to go about the same

Hi,

Create a context node say "Details"

Under that create to attributes "Name", "ID" of datatype string.

You can create the above context structure either in controller and map to the views or else you can create them in the view.

Now switch to the Layout of the view,

Right click on the view You will See "Template"

select the table template and this wizard will guide you through the creation of the table.

To add some data to the context

in the init of the controller You have to do the following

for(int x=0; x<10; x++)

{

IDetailsNodeElement element = wdContext.nodeDetailsNode().createAndAddDetailsNodeElement();

element.setName("Abcd");

element.setID("123");

}

Hi Ayyaparaj

Your approach worked.I am able to see a table in my view.

However the code snippet you provided is having compilation issues

for(int x=0; x<10; x++)

{

IDetailsNodeElement element = wdContext.nodeDetailsNode().createAndAddDetailsNodeElement();

element.setName("Abcd");

element.setID("123");

}

1.>

Is this because i have added Details node to the context of the result view?

2.>

Is there any other thing i am missing?

Hi,

Is the complie issue for createAndAddDetailsNodeElement() method????

IDetailsNodeElement element = wdContext.nodeDetailsNode().createDetailsNodeElement();

element.setName("Abcd");

element.setID("123");

wdContext.nodeDetailsNode().addElement(element);

If so then you have to change the code a bit as mentioned above.

Is this because i have added Details node to the context of the result view?

You have to write the above code in the java file where your node exists.

Ex: If you have the node in the controller and mapped to the view, you have to write this code in the controller.

If the node is only in the view, obviously the code should be in the java file for the view.

Hi Stride,

In the code given by ayyaparaj

change this

for(int x=0; x<10; x++)

{

IDetailsNodeElement element = wdContext.nodeDetailsNode().createDetailsNodeElement();

element.setName("Abcd");

element.setID("123");

wdContext.nodeDetailsNode().addElement(element);

}

The last sentence should be added in the code .

Create a context node with the needed attributes in the component controller and map it from both view controllers. In the result view, add a Table UI element to the view layout, use the binding wizard for creating the table columns with suitable editors. That's it.
