Vaadin 7 and Table CellRenderer
Hello,
just a small question:
In Vaadin 6.x there is now way to influence the way table cells are rendered when the table is in not-edit mode.
For the edit mode we have the setTableFieldFactory() method to build cells as needed.
But when the table is not in editable mode, we have to override the getContainerProperty() and getType() on the conatiner and return a corresponding component.
The other discussed solution is to use a generated column for this, not exactly simple/intuitive solution either.
For example rendering a boolean in a table results in true/false string shown to the user.
One would expect either a (readonly) CheckBox, or a Yes/No or some kind of images showing the status.
