Serialize Custome Table Cell Colors and Outlines to XML

I would like to be able to have custom cell shading and outlining available as attribute or properties of the CELL element so I can have it serialized to XML along with the rest of my document.
Currently, I have some fancy cell shading in my tables. But I export it to XML, then bring it back into FM8 and the fancy shading is lost.
Or, more realistically, I want to generate the XML from a data source (like a Versant database) to import into FM8, and I cannot perform the cell shading during XML generation.

Small issue with custom table cell editor and unwanted table row selection

I'm using a custom table cell editor to display a JTree. Thing i notice is that when i select a value in the tree pop-up, the pop-up closes (as it should) but then every table row, from the editing row to the row behind the pop-up when i selected the value becomes highlighted. I'm thinking this is a focus issue, but it thought i took care of that. To clairfy, look at this: Before . Notice how the "Straightening" tree item is roughly above the "Stock Thickness" table row? When i select Straightening, this is what happens to my table: After .

As I said, you have to have empty context elements before additional rows will be open for input.
For instance if you want to start with 5 rows available for input do the following to your internal table that you will bind:
data itab type standard table of sflight.
do 5 times.
append initial line to itab.
enddo.
context_node->bind_table( itab ).
The other option if you need n number of rows is to add a button to the table toolbar for adding more rows. When this button is pressed, you add a new context element to the node - thereby creating a new empty row in the table.

Adding button to a custom table cell (and handling them)

Hi
I'm wondering if it's possible to add a button on each row of a table view using a custom table cell view. If it's possible, I'm really wondering how I can handle the click events on these buttons.
Thanks

No.
Try creating a view and adding it to a cell. Let us know what problems you have, and we can try to help.

How do you do custom table cell in IB?

I want to avoid writing those custom table cells because its really a hassle. I see that in IB there are all the controls I need to make the cell (label, sliders etc) and there is even a table view, but I just cant figure out how to create that cell with all the controls in it and attach that cell to a tableview. They dont seem to integrate well in IB at all! Any one with any ideas?

I'm a car dealer and I created the bill of sale for my dealership in a Numbers spread sheet. I want to be able to use my iPad mini w retina for customers to sign directly on my iPad then print out the BoS with signatures on it so I can make transactions easier for my customers in case I have to meet them somewhere instead of my office. Then I would have the ability to send them another copy if they happen to lose theirs without digging thru my files to find the hard copy and scan and send it to them.

Custom table cell

hi
in my project i created some custom-table-cell (classes) manually without interface builder.
now my question is; is it possible to create custom-table-cells with interface builder for dynamicly create instances?
i would like to have a nib file where a customtablecell is placed and defined which i can later create instances from.
i have no idea how i can do this.
thanks.

Make a XIB where the File's owner is a UIViewController and the only other thing in it is your custom table cell and it is hooked up to the file's owner as the view. Then you can do:
UIViewController* c = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"CustomCell" bundle:nil];
cell = (CustomCell *)c.view;

Report Generation broken after deployment - Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi

Upon deployment, the Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi became broken. After installing LV2010 SP1 to view the VIs in the deployment, I noticed that in the second case structure where the code draws the border using the BorderAround invoke node, there is an extra variant input parameter named 'Parameters'. Upon right-clicking, an option to 'Relink Invoke Node' appeared and after selecting this, the extra input disappeared and the VI was no longer broken.
Why does "Relink Invoke Node" appear? How do I create a deployment with this issue? Has anybody else experienced this? Why is the TestStand deployment so buggy?

Hi Ching-Hwa,
I have set up a test deployment here where I am deploying a workspace that contains a sequence file. This sequence file has a LabVIEW Action Step calling a VI that opens a new Excel file and simply calls the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI. After deploying this, both the VI and my test sequence ran on the deployment machine without error. Therefore, I do have some more questions to more accurately reproduce what you are seeing.
First, what operating systems are you developing on and deploying to? Also, what license do you have for TestStand on the machine you are deploying to? If you have a development version, can you manually take the sequence file and VI to this machine and run it? I know you now have LabVIEW 2010 SP1 on your development machine, but if you have the development version of TestStand as well, it would be interesting to see if you copy the files over if you still see this behavior. Are you including the TestStand Engine in the deployment?
Can you open a blank VI on the deployment machine and add the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI? It would also be interesting to see if this is not a product of the deployment, but rather an issue with something on the deployment machine itself. What version of the Report Generation Toolkit do you have on each machine? Also, what versions of Excel are you using on the development and deployment machine? Again, it would be helpful for me to know exactly what versions you have installed on both the development and deployment machines so that I can reproduce this as accurately as possible.
One last thing to try, too, would be to try deploying the VI by itself just to see if it also has the same behavior. Do you have the Application Builder in LabVIEW? If so, could you also try building an executable from the VI, create an installer, and deploy this to the deployment machine?
In regards to the "freezing" of code by removing the block diagrams, I do not believe this will be a proper work around in this case. While this removes the block diagram from actually being deployed along with the VI and restricts users from editing the code on the deployment machine, if something is getting changed in the compiled code upon deployment, this will not stop this from happening. This option is available more as a memory option to lower the size of the deployment as well as prohibit any users on the development machine from editing the block diagram themselves.
Thanks, Ching-Hwa! I look forward to your response so that I can continue trying to reproduce this issue. Have a great day!

題名のようにExcel Set Cell Color and Border.viのbackground color 設定についてです。
デフォルト（未配線）では白に設定されていますが、”色なし”に設定するにはどうしたら良いのでしょうか？
又、罫線色等を指定する数値設定に関しては、何処を調べたら良いのでしょうか？
ご教授の程、宜しくお願い致します。

ご質問にお答え致します。
色なしにしたいとの事ですが、こちらでExcel Set Cell Color and Border.viを使用して簡単なVIを実行させてみましたが色なしに設定することはできませんでした。
そこで質問したいのですが色なしにする理由というのはバックグラウンドが白のままだとセルの枠が見えなくなるからでしょうか。
もしそうであれば設定により枠をつけることができますのでそちらの方を試して頂けたらと思います。
方法としましては同じExcel Set Cell Color and Border.viを使い設定します。
アイコンの上部にピンク色のピンが２つあるかと思いますがそちらからセル内側の線、外側の線を設定できます。
添付した画像を参照して下さい。
画像のように設定しますとセルに黒色の枠ができると思います。
数値設定などに関しても質問されていますが、そちらはヘルプがありますのでそちらを参照頂けると詳しい情報がわかるかと思います。
LabVIEWでVIを開いている時に　ctrl + H を押しますと小さいウィンドウ「詳細ヘルプ」が立ち上がります、その状態でマウスのポインタをアイコンに重ねて頂きますと詳細ヘルプにアイコンの説明が記述されます。

NI_Excel.Ivclass:Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi Error

Hi
I was trying to compile a file and I kept getting an error. It zeroed in on the vi that was not compiling. I am attaching the vi to this message. The vi seems to be broken. And I am not sure how to fix this. Can some one please help me out with this. Thanks in advance.
I guess it is associated with Report Generation Toolkit. Please let me know if you need any more details.
This is the error message 'One or more required inputs to this function are not wired or are wired incorrectly. Show the Context Help window to see what the connections to this function should be.'

Custom table cell renderer in a JTable is not called

Hello, all,
I have the following task: I need to select several cells in a column, change the value of those cells, and once the value changes, the color of these cells should change as well. I wrote a custom cell renderer, and registered it for the object type that will use it to render the cell. However, the custom cell renderer is never called. Instead, the class name of the object is displayed in the cell.
My code snippents are as follows:
//Declare the table and add custom cell renderer
JTable table = new JTable (7,7);
table.setCellSelectionEnabled (true);
table.setSelectionMode (ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);
//Add the custom cell renderer to render objects of type Item
table.setDefaultRenderer(Item.class, new CustomTableCellRenderer());
//Get the selected cells and change the object type in those cells
//This part works, since I see the app entering the for loop in the debugger, and the item.toString() value is displayed in each selected cell
int rowIndexStart = table.getSelectedRow();
int rowIndexEnd = table.getSelectionModel().getMaxSelectionIndex();
int colIndex = table.getSelectedColumn();
Item item = new Item ();
for (int i = rowIndexStart; i<=rowIndexEnd; i++){
              table.setValueAt(item, i, colIndex);
             //I expect the cell to redraw now using custom cell renderer defined below, but that cell render is never called. Instead, the item.toString() value is displayed in the cell.   What is wrong?
//Definition of custom cell renderer.
//the getTableCellRendererComponent is never called, since the System.out.println never prints. I expected this method to be called as soon as the Item object is added to the cell. Am I wrong in expecting that?
class CustomTableCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent (JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
        Component cell = super.getTableCellRendererComponent (table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
        System.out.println("value: "+value.getClass()+" isSelected "+isSelected+" hasFocus "+hasFocus+" row "+row+" col "+column);
        if (this.isFocusOwner()) {
        cell.setBackground( Color.red );
        cell.setForeground( Color.white );
        return cell;
} Please, help,
Thank you!

The suggestion given above assumes that all the data in a given column is of the same type.
If you have different types of data in different rows the you should be overriding the getCellRenderer(...) method. Something like:
public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer(int row, int column)
    Object o = getValueAt(row, column);
    if (o instanceof Item)
        return yourCustomRenderer
    else
        return super.getCellRenderer(row, column);
}

Custom Table Cell Renderer Unable To Set Horizontal Alignment

Hello,
I have a problem that I'm at my wit's end with, and I was hoping for some help.
I need to render the cells in my table differently (alignment, colors, etc) depending on the row AND the column, not just the column. I've got this working just fine, except for changing the cell's horizontal alignment won't work.
I have a CustomCellRenderer that extends DefaultTableCellRenderer and overrides the getTableCellRendererComponent() method, setting the foreground/background colors and horizontal alignment of the cell based on the cell's value.
I have a CustomTable that extends JTable and overrides the getCellRenderer(int row, int column) method to return a private instance of this CustomCellRenderer.
This works fine for foreground/background colors, but my calls to setHorizontalAlignment() in the getTableCellRendererComponent() seem to have no effect, every cell is always displayed LEFT aligned! It's almost like the cell's alignment is determined by something else than the table.getCellRenderer(row,column).getTableCellRendererComponent() method.
I've also tried setting the renderer for every existing TableColumn in the TableModel to this custom renderer, as well as overriding the table's getDefaultColumn() method to return this custom renderer as well for any Class parameter, with no success.
No matter what I've tried, I can customize the cell however I want, EXCEPT for the horizontal alignment!!!
Any ideas???
Here's the core custom classes that I'm using:
class CustomTable extends JTable {
private CustomRenderer customRenderer = new CustomRenderer();
public CustomTable() {
super();
public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer(int row, int column) {
return customRenderer;
} // end class CustomTable
class CustomRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
public CustomRenderer() {
super();
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
if (row % 2 == 0) {
setForeground(Color.red);
setHorizontalAlignment(RIGHT);
} else {
setForeground(Color.blue);
setHorizontalAlignment(LEFT);
return this;
} // end class CustomRenderer
Even worse, I've gotten this to work fine in a trivial example I made to try and re-create the problem. But for some reason, this same thing is just not working for horizontal alignment in my actual project?!?
Anyone have any ideas how the cell's horizontal alignment set in the getTableCellRendererComponent() method is being ignored or overwritten before the cell is being displayed???
Thanks, any help is appreciated,

Ok, so I've looked into their source and I think I know where and what the trouble is. The JTable.java has a method called:
3658> public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer(int row, int column) {
3659> TableColumn tableColumn = getColumnModel().getColumn(column);
3660> TableCellRenderer renderer = tableColumn.getCellRenderer();
3661> if (renderer == null) {
3662> renderer = getDefaultRenderer(getColumnClass(column));
3663> }
3664> return renderer;
3665> }
starting at line 3658 of their source code. It retrieves the TableCellRenderer on line 3660 by calling the tableColumn's getCellRenderer method. This is found in the TableColumn.java class:
421> public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer() {
422> return cellRenderer;
423> }
See the problem? Only ONE cell Renderer. It's referring to a variable found at line 140 which is of type TableCellRenderer ... well actually it's created as a DefaultTableCellRenderer at some point since TableCellRenderer is an interface.
Basically the fix is this:
In the TableColumn.java file, a collection (Vector, LinkedList, whatever) needs to keep track of each cell's renderer. This will solve the solution. Of course this will be something that you or I can make.
What's funny is the contradiction in documentation between JTable's and TableColumn's getCellRenderer() method. First, if we look at TableColumn's documentation it states:
"Returns the TableCellRenderer used by the JTable to draw values for this column."
Based on that first statement, the getCellRenderer() method in TableColumn is doing its job exactly. No lies, no contradictions in what it does.
However, that method is called up inside of the JTable's getCellRenderer() method which says a completely different thing which is:
"Returns an appropriate renderer for the cell specified by this row and column."
Now we have a problem. For the cell specified. It appears that the rush to push this out blinded some developer who either:
1) mis-interpreted what the JTable getCellRenderer() method was supposed to do and inadvertently added a feature or;
2) was in a 2 a.m. blitz, wired on Pepsi and adrenalin and wrote the bug in.
Either way, I'm really hoping that they'll fix this because it will take care of at least 2 bugs. Btw, anyone interested in posting a subclass to solve this problem (subclass of TableColumn) is more than welcome. I've spent much too much time on this and my project is already behind so I can't really afford any more time on this.
later,
a.

Hi Abhi,
               Check this link it may helpHow I made highlight of specific values in Table

Table cell color in webdynpro for ABAP

Hai,
I need to differentiate some table cell values using color change or some other way.
while populating table values, I have a field like mandatory or optional. According to mandatory field, I need to chage color the text of the another column in the same table called "name".
Another help about the table cell popin, I have a column name like "Name" in the table like link to action. If a person clicks on any of the "name" cells, the descriptive value should come as table cell popin.
If you have sample code, that will help me lot.
Thanks,
I will reward points any type of helpful answer.

Help with creating a custom table cell editor?

hi, i was reading up on various tutorials and trying to write codes that pops up a simple calendar when clicked on text of the Date class in a table, so far, i can't seem to get my classes working.. the following is some classes i've written for this task (note, there are alot of commented out lines, those are the modifications done to the tutorial classes in http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/)
any help would be appreciated :D

well, i have indeed narrowed down my problem after some digging around.. one thing i discovered that i don't need CalendarRenderer.java.. and i found out i don't really know what does
//Implement the one method defined by TableCellEditor.
     public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column)
          curDate = (String)value; return button;
     }do, as it seems to be the problem:

Custom JTable cell editors and persistence

I have a JTable with an underlying data model (an extension of AbstractTableModel) that uses custom cell editors in the last column. The cell editor in that column, for a given row, depends on the value selected in another column of the same row. The cell editors include text, date, list, and tree editors (the last one in a separate dialogue). The number of rows is changeable.
I have need to persist the data for a populated table from time to time, for restoration later on. I've achieved that, such that the data model is recreated, the table appears correct, and the appropriate cell editors activated (by creating new instances of the editors' classes).
However, my problem is that the (custom) cell editors do not reflect the data in the model when editing mode is begun the first time after restoration. Eg. the text editor is always empty, the list editor shows the first item, and no node is selected in the tree editor.
If I've restored the model correctly, should the editors properly reflect the underlying data when they are set to editing mode?
I suspected not, and thus tried to explicitly 'set' the correct values immediately after each editor is recreated ... but to no avail.
Does anyone have any thoughts, or experience with something similar? I'm happy to supply code.

You can use html tags within Swing, so I think you can do the following:

* @author CS781RJ
public class MyRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer
    public MyRenderer()
        setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
        setIconTextGap(3);
        setOpaque(true);
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus, int row, int column)
        if (isSelected)
            setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
            setForeground(table.getSelectionForeground());
        else
            setBackground(table.getBackground());
            setForeground(table.getForeground());
        if (value instanceof String)
            if ((value != null) && (value.toString().length() > 0))
                System.out.println("Value: " + value.toString());
                setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", 0, 11));
                setText("<html>" + value.toString().replaceAll("\n", "<br>") + "</html>");
        return this;
}In the class that has the JTable, use the code AFTER declaring the values, columns, etc:
jTable1.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setCellRenderer(new MyRenderer());
jTable1.setValueAt("Riz\nJavaid", 0, 0);One thing I haven't done is to resize the cell heights, make sure this is done.
Hope this helps
