GWT LiveGrid

[gslender]

Folks...

A test ActiveGrid widget is up for you to see/trial the functionality. This is Alpha code and has many features not finished or working. No need to report bugs as I'm aware much isn't fully working, but this gives you a sense of how it will work and performance etc...

Stay tuned ;-)

Cheers,

Wayhay!!! This is what my users have been waiting for. Finally get rid of paging
Will this work with plugins ok?

Nice work mate. I tried to implement this a little while ago, but had to stop due to other commitments. You've done a great job.

You the man

Nice work. I can see how this would be useful. I'm excited to see how this progresses. Any willingness to post the code so that the community can help you out?

We can hardly wait for the finished version!

Great job!

This is looking REALLY good. Thanks for the effort here! Just out of curiosity, what is this grid bound to (i.e. or a ListStore or some custom store)?

It uses a ListStore, but creates this internally as there are a few things I need to do to make it all work. As such, it requires a PagingLoader of which you can attach any DataProxy to. You'll see it takes custom parameters for buffer and auto-refetch factor.

The hosted example is setup like so.... (note the custom toolbar that is added to the content panel).

// loader
BasePagingLoader loader = new BasePagingLoader(proxy);
loader.setRemoteSort(true);
  
ActiveGrid<Data> g = new ActiveGrid<Data>(300,.3,loader, cm);
final ActiveToolBar toolBar = new ActiveToolBar(g);
		
ContentPanel cp = new ContentPanel(new FillLayout());
cp.setHeading("ActiveGrid - <i>alpha</i> - Test Release");
cp.add(g);

I tried to use a normal Grid and extend as much as possible (preserving the code base) so plugins should work, but they need to be aware that the store is not fully loaded, so it depends on the plugin.

Which plugins do you think it should work with?

Soon. Wish to fix a few core issues (get things working better) and then I'll open it up. There is no point in having a bunch of folks suggest changes to code that is being ripped and refactored all the time ;-)

Ok, I've got the code working a bit better now - so please test and let me know what bugs you find....
