Tables

[qbeukes]

Hey,

I'm looking for a way to display tabular data in the explorer.


What I want to do is the following:
1. Have data items (which are object instances)
2. Display each item as a row, with selected properties in columns
3. Have an action item like a button in another column
4. Be able to link this with property sheets. For ex. you double click it and a property view pops up to the left. The property sheet will then display more information, as well as listen for services to provide extra information related to this entity.


I would like to refrain from standard JTables, so I can hook into the NB explorer/nodes api a bit better.


I heard of a tree table, which, as I understand it is the explorer API view on nodes, but displayed in a table. This sounds fine, as I would then only have root nodes to display one level data?
