I have two questions about tables-- the first straight-up, and I reckon the second one is somewhat philosophical...
1. Is there any way to "intercept" the normal browser right-click context menu long enough to select the cell contents so that when the browser's right click menu is invoked, it will be the Cut-n-paste menu and be able to copy/cut/paste the text (specifically copy-- that's what I'm really after) to the actual system clipboard? And without resorting to reconfiguring browser settings or using "flash" gimmickry? All I want is for the user to be able to "copy" the text in a cell to the actual clipboard, using the browser's actual right-click context menu. When I tried it, I was never able to get the menu to go into the "edit mode" (i.e. cut-n-paste) menu. 2. Why is does it seem difficult to work with a "table" at times when the "gallery", on the other hand, seems pretty straight-forward? I don't mean that as a complaint per se, but I'm just wondering why tables seem a little "convoluted" and galleries don't? I realize that obviously there is some additional stuff which is added *around* them to facilitate their use one way or the other, but it seems like the issues that are difficult in the table model-- single-cell selection, right-clicking a cell without selecting the whole row, figuring out row / column, (smooth) custom cell rendering-- both widget-based and html, isn't such a big deal in the gallery. When I look at the actual html output, they both seem similar there too-- a bunch of grouped and nested divs. So fundamentally, it seems like what makes one work should be pretty much the same for the other. Is the gallery a "new" implementation? Is the "table" being migrated to the same or similar structure? Are there "gotchas" for one versus the other that aren't obvious at first glance? Basically if you styled the top row and first column like headers, you'd essentially have a "table" or "spreadsheet" component...??? Of course there would still be some work to hook up the models and events and such... I recognize that. http://demo.qooxdoo.org/2.1/demobrowser/demo/virtual/Gallery.html?qx.theme=qx.theme.Indigo Gallery Demo http://demo.qooxdoo.org/2.1/demobrowser/demo/table/Table_Selection.html?qx.theme=qx.theme.Indigo Table Selection Demo Thanks for all assistance!
