Comment by dkimmig:
I dont know whether this is the right time/place to add my comment, but I
would like to point you guys in the direction of the Dojo Data Grid. I
would love to be able to create a "Databound-Grid" somewhat similiar to the
following way that is currently available in Dojo:
{{{
<table dojoType="dojox.grid.TreeGrid" class="grid"
store="jsonStore" query="{ id: '4' }" queryOptions="{deep:
true}" rowsPerPage="20" rowSelector="true">
<thead>
<tr>
<th field="label">Quarter</th>
<th field="pts">Points</th>
<th field="reb">Rebounds</th>
<th field="ast">Assists</th>
<th field="tp" formatter="formatTime">Time
Played</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
}}}
_Sample is taken from :
http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dojox/grid/tests/test_treegrid.html_
You can replace the markup with any UIBinder-related stuff... it doesnt
have to be a real table element. The big picture is:
* Declare a DataGrid?-Component in a xy.ui.xml file and point it to
a "DataStore?" inside the backing Composite class much like the current
@UIField stuff
* Describe the structure using traditional table-heading mechanisms
without having to fiddle with low-level row-/colspans
* Provide a way to add "Aggregation Columns", "SubGrids?"
and "EditorCells? for inplace-editing"
Maybe all of this doesnt make sense for GWT, but I felt the need to express
this somewhere ;)
