Table MultiEdit

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI

Hi,

I have a table with multiedit feature. But is it possible to limit certain colums to be not editable in the multiedit mode?

Hi!

You could make certain columns read only by providing a custom FieldFactory. The Table component uses a FieldFactory to create the fields used for editing the data and the default FieldFactory creates editable fields for all columns.

You can provide your own FieldFactory like this:


    table.setFieldFactory(new MyFieldFactory());

And MyFieldFactory that sets read only mode on the column with propertyID == “readOnlyColumn”:


    public class MyFieldFactory extends BaseFieldFactory {
        @Override
        public Field createField(Container container, Object itemId,
                Object propertyId, Component uiContext) {
            Field field = createField(container.getContainerProperty(itemId, propertyId),
                    uiContext);
            if ("readOnlyColumn".equals(propertyId)) {
                field.setReadOnly(true);
            }
            return field;
        }   
    }

You can actually return any field from the createField method.

HTH,
