setting the scrollbar to the table viewer - eclipse-plugin

I am facing one problem in setting the scollbar in tableviewer. I have around thousands of record in one table. That means thousand
rows. I edited the last row and pressed enter. When I press enter, the scrollbar goes up of the table. ie it is going to the first row
of the table.So I have to scrolldown again to see the edited row. How can I make sure that when I press enter the scrollbar should stay there. It should not move from the position where it was
last. Is there any way to do that?

Tables are scrolled by using following API. You can use any one of them.
table.setTopIndex(int rowNo);
table.setSelection(int selection);
table.showSelection();
(or)
viewer.reveal(Object obj);
Hope you get, what you been searching for.

How Do I Expand A Cell in MUI-Datatables to display additional content?

I want a user to be able to click a row in the MUI-Datatable, so they can see additional content. The current renderExpandableRow function has the right styling, but I don't want a new row. I want the cell in the first column to show additional data. Is there a way to do this?
Note: I'm also going to need buttons that will expand all/collapse all, so I need a solution flexible enough to do that.
I found a solution to my question.
I made the first column's content a Button using customBodyRender. The column with expandable content became the second column. This column has a customBodyRender with a Collapse component. I store in my component's state all ids of my data objects and whether or not they are expanded. When the Button is clicked, my component's state is updated, which in turn changes whether or not the Collapse component is open.
I also used customToolbar in the table options to generate an expand all/collapse all button, which just sets the state of all rows to expanded/collapsed.

How to know if a user has stopped their selection in a datagridview?

My scenario: I have a datagridview and it contains some data. User can select a row, or multiple rows in that datagridview, and they need to know a summary about those rows they selected.
Handling multiple rows in datagridview is easy enough, and I have no problem getting what the user need: Two numbers indicate how many item is selected, and their total weight in those rows. I passed that data to a small summary form to display, and I put the code to show that form under dgv.SelectionChange().
But then disaster follow: each time user select a row, that form will appear. Which is, if user select 20 rows, they will see 20 summary forms.... and any more than that, well.. you can imagine. I thought about putting something inside SelectionChange() to check if user has stopped their selection.. but can't think of any.
This seems like a very simple matter, but somehow I can't figure it out..
My question, how to know if a user has stopped their selection in a datagridview ?
I still don't have enough points to just comment, so my answer would be I don't think you can reliably without adding another control (ie, button). You can't read the users mind and since the number of rows can be variable, how would you ever know? You could try something like if the cursor leaves the DGV but that would be frought with issues as well. While it would be an extra click for those just selecting 1 row, I still think having a "Get Summary" button would be the way to go. Sort of like when selecting items to compare - you can click any number of items and while they may show which items you've picked so far in another area, the comparison table doesn't appear until you click the Compare button.
From what I understand, you actually have two options.
Add a button
Since you can't figure out when the selection is done, just add a button that will call the Form you want to display, that way you are sure that it will display only when user asks for it.
Use a timer
Another option is to use a Timer, every time the selection changed, you reset the timer to one second (to keep the example simple).
And whenever the timer does a tick, you call the Form and stop the timer. That way it will trigger one second (or less) after the user made the selection and gives him one second to change it...
Honnestly, I think the button option is the best, as you give the power to your user. Maybe they will want to select some rows but don't want to see your form, as they will only copy it to paste it somewhere else...

Datagridview has readonly rows, still want to go to row enter event?

My row enter events are not triggering when the row is readonly. I need an event when the user selects a row so I can populate another grid. Row enter seems to not be triggering is there a way to make the rowenter trigger or a different event I can use?
Someone suggested I set each cell in the row to readonly instead of the row and that might fix it, that would change a lot of the program and I feel like it still wouldn't work, I don't want to do it unless someone can confirm it will work.
Any help would be appreciated!
You could try using the click event of the data grid and get the selected row properties from there? Sorry if its no help, just worth a shot!
Hope it helps!

Searching through DataGridView

I have a datagridview with three columns (ID, Name, Address). It's bound to a database that contains around 500 items.
I want to be able to search the gridview for data given in a text box, and then highlight it.
If possible, pressing the Next button should find the next match, and the Reset button should clear all selections (nothing highlighted).
Please advise how to do it.
Thank you very much.
Add a search box and search button in the page. OnClick of the search button, search the datatable for the results and keep the result in the session. then on the bound event of grid, highlight the first row of from the search result set (which can be done by matching the primary/unique key of the table).
You have to handle most of code the manually for this. OnClick of next button, highlight the next row from the search result. again traversing of the search result has to handled manually like keeping the track of current result, moving to next result or moving backward etc.
then on click of reset button clear the search result session and bind the grid again without any highlighted rows.
I don't have code to post for you right now. but i hope if you implement this approach surely your problems will be resolved.

Locking a ToolStripContainer panel to only allow for one row of toolstrips

I want the ToolStrips to remain on one row, and for the user to be able to rearrange on that row but not create additional rows. I tried using SetBounds on the LocationChanged event, if the user attempted to change the Y position it just sprung right back. However, this created some visual bugs, such as the mouse always jumping back to the location and the ToolStrips jumping around randomly (while dragging one, the other would hop around randomly on the bar...)
I also tried setting the MaximumSize of the toolstripcontainer panel, but it allowed the creation of a new row anyway (in which the toolstrips were hidden.)
EDIT: Its been a few months, still no answers...is this even possible?
I have the same question. Did you figure this out? You might want to take a look at this post. I think it answers your question but I'm just surprised one would have to write a custom layout class to do what I would think would be default behavior for a ToolStrip.
