This is similar to the purpose for which I created the modal window
cell editor concept. If your cell editor factory returns an object
that is an instance of qx.ui.window.Window, it will be automagically
made modal and the function that you've registered with
table.setModalCellEditorPreOpenFunction() will be called with the cell
editor object and cellInfo as parameters. Upon return from that
function, (or immediately if no function has been registered), the
window will then be opened. When the window is closed, typically by th
user pressing a Save button of some sort, the value for the particular
cell which was clicked will be retrieved in the normal fashion, by
calling the cell editor factory's getCellEditorValue() method with the
cell editor as its parameter. You can look at table/pane/Scroller.js,
methods startEditing(), stopEditing(), flushEditor(), and
cancelEditing() for additional hints. I suspect that upon Save, you'll
want to add the row to the data model, rather than expecting the
closing of the modal window to save everything, since you want to add
multiple rows.
Alternatively, you could simply have an Add button that adds a new row
to the model, using a modal window in a similar fashion to what the
modal cell editor would do.
Thanks Derrell. I'm going with a hybrid technique of sorts. Repeating my
response to Daniel:
Yup, I've decided to use a pop-up modal window with around 10-20 rows,
each with the right no.of text fields corresponding to the columns and
a save button. Once saved, I'll send it to the server and based on the
response will add it to the table model :)
This will give the user the chance to enter multiple rows(capped at some
sensible max within 10-25) and then pressing "save" can save the data to
the server :)
Thanks once again for the pointers :)
cheers,
skar.
