Okay, after looking at this some more, I think the fundamental problem boils down to how the cell editor is implemented for the number column in the TableViewRowEditor that you are using. In the "endEdit" method of TableViewRowEditor, it will call "store" for each column in the editor to put the edited value back into the row object (this is the code that Sandro highlighted in the earlier reply). Normally you would probably use a TextInput for the edit field, but TextInput.store changes the text in the control to the proper object for storing based on the TextBindMapping that is defined. If there is no binding, then it will be a String that is stored in your row HashMap and then the TableViewNumberCellRenderer will not put a $ in the data because it only does that for the Number types.
So, what you need to do is define a small class that implements TextInput.TextBindMapping, then set an instance of that as the TextBindMapping for the cell editor used for the TableViewRowEditor..... The "valueOf(String text)" method of your class would strip off the $ sign and convert the result to a Number..... That will solve your problem and Pivot doesn't need to change - the functionality you need is already built in.

For this i have used Stock Tracker demo application and it is working fine. Now I created a table where columns will be changed from time to time so i have created tableview, where columns will be added dynamically and by using setCellRenderer method, i have added TableViewNumberCellRenderer class object to each tableview column. Here also i was able to get the $ symbol for each cell entry. Now iam supposed to create a tableview with columns number is unknown. So i used HashMap to create rows and to insert data to each cell. So for this process how can i add TableViewNumberCellRenderer class object. I use the following code for this purpose. TableView.Column column = new TableView.Column(); column.setName("number"); column.setWidth(180); column.setHeaderData("Number"); TableViewNumberCellRenderer cellRenderer = new TableViewNumberCellRenderer(); column.setCellRenderer(cellRenderer);// tableView.getColumns().add(column); HashMap<String, Object> tableData= new HashMap<String, Object>(); tableData.put("column name",null); // value is null beacuse here i will edit the row and then enter some value in it. ((List<Object>) (tableView.getTableData())).add(tableData); Here in place of null if i pass some value (float type) 4 symbol is appearing. But when i tried to edit the row $ symbol getting disappeared. So help me how can i resolve this? -- Thanks & Regards B.S.V.S.Pavan Raju. Skype: skype_pavan1 Hyderabad.
