Add Header Icon

Hello Stefano,
is it possible to add small icon in column's header?
Thanks

stefanobusetto · Apr 24, 2013

with the current version of the grid no
i'm sorry

the 1.x version of the grid will have no upgrades or new features

i'm currently testing the 2.0 version of the grid i'm going to post soon

the new version will be mostly compatible with the previous one
and will allow to add some new features i need
1) columns with check boxes
2) columns with images
3) multi row grid lines
i'll add your request to the todo list

Hi,
We'd like have an independient Gravity for Header and another Gravity for cells of that column. For example, we want center text header, but for this column we want left align for cells(data).

Many thanks

Version 2.01 beta
- Added ScrollTop / ScrollBottom / ScrollTo

qsrtech · May 10, 2013

Hi is this new version going to break existing projects or did you keep previous method names for compatibility? If so is there a way to rename the library to something like xnObjects2 so that both libraries can be used?

Thanks!
John

stefanobusetto · May 11, 2013

Hi
the new library is planned to have all the features of the previous one.

But i've renamed (as you noticed) a few methods:
1) InsertRow to RowInsert
2) AppendRow to RowAppend
3) DeleteRow to RowDelete
4) InsertCol to ColInsert
5) AppendCol to ColAppend
6) DeleteCol to ColDelete
7) ScrollUp to ScrollTop
8) ScrollDown to ScrollBottom

There are no changes in the parameters kind or order except for:
a) GridCreate2 that now accepts only 1 parameter instead of 2.
public void GridCreate2 ( boolean ScrollHorizontal )
instead of
public void GridCreate2 ( boolean ScrollHorizontal , boolean ScrollVertical )
b) ScrollTo
public void ScrollTo ( int Row )
instead of
public void ScrollTo ( int x , int y )
This is the only big change. The input is the number of rows instead of the number of pixels.

I've renamed the methods to have all the methods working with rows and columns grouped toghether.

I've planned (if someone requests) to create wrappers for the new methods with the names of the old ones.
These wrappers will be marked as "discouraged" and will kept in the new lib for a while to allow a painless migration.

Should you have any request or suggestion you are welcome.

I'm also looking for a beta tester.

please try this

B4X:

'Activity module
Sub Process_Globals
'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
End Sub

Sub Globals
Dim gg As xnGrid
End Sub

Sub gg_fill
Dim t0 As Long
Dim t1 As Long
Dim dd As Long

t0 = DateTime.Now
For r = 0 To 100
    Dim v As String
    If r Mod 3 = 0 Then
       v = ""
    Else 
       v = "o=" & r
    End If
   
   gg.RowAppend ( Array As String ( "c=" & r , "d=" & r , "g=" & r , v ) )
Next
t1 = DateTime.Now

dd = t1 - t0 
Log ( dd )
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
Dim bt_paint As Button

Dim t As Int : t = 5dip
Dim h As Int : h = 45dip

' create buttons
bt_paint.Initialize("bt_paint")
bt_paint.Text = "create" 
Activity.AddView ( bt_paint ,  0dip , t ,  90dip , 40dip )

t = t + h

If gg.IsInitialized = False Then
   gg.Initialize("gg")
   gg.RowHeight = 48dip 
   
   gg.HeaderHeight = 30dip
   
   gg.HeaderTextSize = 13
   gg.RowTextSize = 13 
   
   gg.HeaderTextColor = Colors.Yellow
   gg.RowTextColor = Colors.Yellow

   gg.SelectedOddColor = Colors.Green
   gg.SelectedEvenColor = Colors.Magenta

   Dim cc(4) As xnGridCol

   cc(0).Initialize2 ( "Cod." , "cod" , 40dip , Gravity.TOP + Gravity.LEFT )
   gg.ColAppend ( cc(0) )

   cc(1).Initialize2 ( "Des." , "des" , 0dip , Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL + Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL)
   gg.ColAppend ( cc(1) )

   cc(2).Initialize2 ( "Grp." , "grp" , 60dip , Gravity.BOTTOM + Gravity.RIGHT )
   gg.ColAppend ( cc(2) )

   cc(3).Initialize2 ( "Other" , "other" , 60dip , Gravity.LEFT )
   gg.ColAppend ( cc(3) )

   Activity.AddView ( gg , 5dip , t , 180dip , 100%y - t - 10dip )

   gg_fill 
   bt_paint_click
End If
End Sub

Sub bt_paint_click
gg.Multiselect = False
gg.GridWidth = 1dip
gg.GridColor = Colors.Red
gg.PixelFix = False

Dim t0 As Long
Dim t1 As Long
Dim dd As Long

t0 = DateTime.Now
gg.GridCreate2 ( False ) 
t1 = DateTime.Now

dd = t1 - t0 
Log ( dd )
End Sub

Hi,
thanks for reply.

This example are working because you are using this line:
Activity.AddView ( gg , 5dip , t , 180dip , 100%y - t - 10dip )
but if i use this one:
MyScrollView.Panel.AddView ( gg , 5dip , t , 180dip , 100%y - t - 10dip )
then it doens't work, and i need add a grid in a ScrollView, because i need use it in some cases.

Thanks

stefanobusetto · May 14, 2013

I see no way to solve the problem of the grid inside a scrollview.
The grid uses a ListView and Google states you can't do that.
For reference you can look ath the pdf page 49.
Google I/O 2010

I'm sorry.

stefanobusetto · May 15, 2013

Version 2.02 beta
- Added header alignement
- Added header icons
- Added HELP (javadoc)

B4X:

cc(1).Initialize2 ( "Des." , "des" , 40dip , Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL + Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL)
cc(1).HeaderGravity = Gravity.TOP + Gravity.LEFT
gg.ColAppend ( cc(1) )

B4X:

Dim bmp As Bitmap
bmp.Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "header_icon.png" )

...

cc(0).Initialize2 ( "" , "cod" , 40dip , Gravity.TOP + Gravity.LEFT )
cc(0).HeaderIcon = bmp 
cc(0).HeaderIconTop  = 3dip 
cc(0).HeaderIconLeft = 3dip 
gg.ColAppend ( cc(0) )

Hello,

Can i insert an image into a column?

Thanks

stefanobusetto · May 22, 2013

You can already add an image into the column headers.
I'm working to add
1) Check Columns
2) Image Columns

stefanobusetto · May 26, 2013

Image columns ( how-to )

1) load the images
images must be put into the files folder of the b4a project

B4X:

Dim bmp(6) As Bitmap
bmp(0).Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "0.png" )
bmp(1).Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "1.png" )
bmp(2).Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "2.png" )
bmp(3).Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "3.png" )
bmp(4).Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "4.png" )
bmp(5).Initialize ( File.DirAssets , "5.png" )

2) define the column and the image association

B4X:

cc(0).Initialize ...
cc(0).RowIconPut("a",bmp(1))
cc(0).RowIconPut("b",bmp(2))
cc(0).RowIconPut("c",bmp(3))
cc(0).RowIconPut("d",bmp(4))
cc(0).RowIconPut("e",bmp(5))
cc(0).RowIconTop = 6dip 
cc(0).RowIconLeft = 6dip 
cc(0).SetTypeImage

if the value of the column is "a" then the column will display the "1.png" icon
if "b" the "2.png" icon ... if the value has no associated icon then no icon will be displayed
