GWT PagingScrollTable ( set a style on a particular cell of the header table )

Question

I have a column Definition for each colume that extends AbstractColumnDefinition these columns are put in a DefaultTableDefinition PART OF a PagingScrollTable

example:

NAME | SIZE | RES | DELETE |

this style (AT THE END OF THE PAGE ) is added to the column names if you notice all of them are with a cursor pointer , meaning a hand shows up when i hover above each one. I want to remove the cursor for some cells in the header like delete.

HOW DO YOU set/add/remove a style on a particular cell of the header table of a PagingScrollTable?

THANK YOU

.gwt-ScrollTable .headerTable td {

border-left: 1px solid #CCCCCC;

border-right: 1px solid #CCCCCC;

border-bottom: 1px solid black;

vertical-align: bottom;

cursor: pointer;

}

Answer 1

Edit 2 updated this again because the OP's question is finally clear: how do you set a style on a particular cell of the header table of a PagingScrollTable?

PagingScrollTable scrollTable = ...
scrollTable.getHeaderTable().getCellFormatter().addStyleName(row, column, "myStyleName");

where row and column are 0-based integers indicating which cell of the header table to set the style on.

Edit updated this to explain how to set a style on the header, since the person asking the question clarified that's what they want.

If you want to add a style to the header of a PagingScrollTable, just do this:

PagingScrollTable scrollTable = ...
scrollTable.getHeaderTable().addStyleName(row, "myStyleName");

and then put in a CSS rule for myStyleName to set the cursor to whichever one you want, like so:

.myStyleName {
  cursor: default;
}

Note that the reason why the cursor is a pointer is that clicking on a column header in a PagingScrollTable will sort the table by that column. To disable that, call scrollTable.setSortPolicy(AbstractScrollTable.SortPolicy.DISABLED

Original answer This will add a style to a column in the body of the table, but not the header or footer:

Since you mention ColumnDefinition I presume you're talking about PagingScrollTable. In that case, the way to add a CSS style to a cell is in the CellRenderer for the cell. Once you've got a ColumnDefinition, do something like this:

CellRenderer<YourRowType, String> cellRenderer = new CellRenderer<YourRowType, String>() {
  public void renderRowValue(RowType rowValue, ColumnDefinition<RowType, String> columnDef,
                             TableDefinition.AbstractCellView<RowType> view) {
    view.setHTML(value);
    view.addStyleName("myStyleName");
  }
};

columnDefinition.setCellRenderer(cellRenderer);

You'll have to change the type parameters of CellRenderer<YourRowType, String> appropriately, but that's more or less how to do it.
