Hi Zdenek, ad 1 - that's exactly what Mario wants to do - he wants to make sure that the group doesn't change if only an attribute, but not the id changes.
ad 2 - why does sorting have anything to do with the grouping functionality? regards, Martin On 5/21/07, Zdeněk Sochor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, i don't think either of suggestions are right. Sugesstion 1 has disadvatage: if you change one property of children in group, which is not defined as groupByValue or taken in account when computing value of checking value, you don't get whole group as changed. Suggestion 2 has disadvantage: equals() method returns only TWO results - true/false, while comparator returns THREE results - -1, 0, 1. By using equals() method you can't do sorting on objects :( Regards, Zdenek Martin Marinschek napsal(a): > No, sounds good to me. > > regards, > > Martin > > On 5/21/07, Mario Ivankovits <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi! >> >> I'd like to make the following two enhancements to the tomahawk >> datatable/column: >> >> 1) add a new attribute "groupByValue" to the column >> This allows to configure a valueBinding to be used as value to check if >> there is a group change instead of scanning the children. >> The old behavior still works, but has the disadvantages that it doesn't >> not work if you embed the values in an panelGrid/panelGroup or any other >> container. >> Say you'll print the customer name in the groupBy column.
