EditTable Overview

EditTable is an OSF/Motif compliant widget providing comprehensive table editing and display capabilities. When used with ChartObject, EditTable can be used to provide dynamically linked tabular and graphical views of data. Both products are highly configurable, enabling the developer to generate any kind of chart or table within their application.

Benefits 

Advanced display speed
EditTable's speed advantage over other table widgets increases as the tables get larger. Our highly optimized re-draw algorithms mean that only what's changed gets redrawn. If you're using EditTable to display real-time information, it's fast enough to handle over 1,500 blotter updates per second.

Flexible data handling 
EditTable is designed for your convenience by supporting native C datatypes and pointers, unlike other table widgets which force you to convert everything into strings. EditTable can also share data with ChartObject via data objects, making visualizing tables simple.

Comprehensive layout and appearance 
EditTable provides a full range of options for controlling every aspect of table layout and appearance. Font, color, size and other variables are all definable on a cell-by-cell basis. Cells can be made to flash or to contain other widgets and images. Rows and columns can be frozen or hidden, and annotation can be added automatically or be user defined.

Programmable behavior 
Cells can be programmed to do more than simply display values in EditTable. Data can be validated on input to check for type and bounds, rows and columns can be frozen or made read-only, and even how a cell is entered (e.g. by tabbing) can be controlled.
