lib-ScrollingTable

lib-st provides a convenient way to create and display a scrolling table of data.
Supply column info and your table data, and you're off!

To get a handle in lua:

local ScrollingTable = LibStub("ScrollingTable");

To package in your addon, add to your .pkgmeta file:

externals:
    Libs/lib-st: 
        url: svn://svn.wowace.com/wow/lib-st/mainline/trunk
        tag: latest

Leave off the tag line if you want the absolute lastest alpha version from the site. (I try to keep a stable copy tagged as latest)

New Features:

Added support for calling SetData with a minimal dataset which can drastically reduce the number of tables that exist within the mod... at a slight cost to customization.

Other recent changes

If no args or colorargs are specified for value and color functions, respectively, instead of no args, these args will be passed:

function (data, cols, realrow, column, sttable)  
    -- sttable is a reference to the scrolling table
end

Here's some nitty-gritty:

Set names and widths of columns, lib-st will set the table width on it's own!
Set the number of rows, and a value to use for row height, lib-st will set the table height on it's own!
Set background colors for each column.
Set column text alignment.
Set column text color.
Set row text color.
Set text color on a cell-by-cell basis.
Supply functions to be evaluated for cell data, and cell/row/column text colors!
Filter table data via a filter funtion.
Table sorts are NON-DESTRUCTIVE. Data or the order of data supplied is never changed (unless modified by user supplied functions) for the display of the table. No copies of the data are made either. 1 Table, your data, sort it, index it as it was when it was created, update it as you see fit.

Sorry, the lib does not support categories.

If you submit a patch though i'll probably take it.

Is there are way to build heirachy into the table, so for example;
- Cat 1
- Cat 2
- Cat 3
- Cat 4
Then clicking on Cat 2 would then show
- Cat 1
- Cat 2
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
- Cat 3
- Cat 4
I'd like the Cat rows to be colored differently so they are clearly "Categories"

I am overriding the display functions as you suggested. Working well. Thanks again.

The easiest way would be to embed the image refs in the string contents of the cell.

The best way would probably be to override the custom display function., you get way more control over how the image is displayed( padding, alignment, etc)

In sdkp there's a slideout panel that has a list of loot that's been assigned for the dkp run. In the table data, I just put the item id string. The column has a display function that reads that in and sets the contents to an image.

What would be the best way of having one row of a table be filled with item icons? Would I just need to have custom display functions for the cells and just do all the icon stuff myself on the cell frame?

Love the library. I have a ton of scroll frames in TradeSkillMaster and am slowly converting them all over to use this library as it's much easier to code and tweak and most importantly looks better :)

Thanks

No problem. Can you link to it properly in your addon's .pkgmeta file so that I get credits for you using my lib?

Thank you very much for this lib. I'm using it in my own addon - REFlex - Battleground Historian.

I like the library. I was wondering if you had thought about adding an option to control whether mouseover highlighting is enabled. If you change the highlight color, it also will stop actual row selection from highlighting.

I was able to turn off the row mouseover highlighting by calling RegisterEvent and replace the OnEnter and OnLeave but it seems like it would be nice to just have an option. It's possible in the future that those events could be use internally for other purposes.
