I just want a read-only table whose values I can set programmatically. The only user interaction I want is for the user to be able to scroll and double click (or use arrow or page up/down and press space or enter) to choose a row.

But right now I get the 3 column x 100 row table I want plus an unwanted input widget. How can I get rid of this input widget? charfind.zip The project I'm working on that shows the problem is attached. Thanks!

Although internally we expect row numbers to start at 0, the row numbers displayed by a table conventionally start at 1. This should at least be an option.

creating and populating a smart table is straightforward. However, I do not see any way of setting the size of a cell. I would love a helper method that would reset the size of a cell based on the contents of the cell. And / or a helper method to resize all the cells in a column or whole table to fit their contents. Also some control over padding would be nice.

Is making the table field public a viable solution?

append_empty_row() accepts a string but what is the string for?

Suggestions;

• append(Vec<&str>) -- appends a new row and puts each string into the corresponding colum; should throw an error if the vec's length is != number of columns
• clear() -- delete all rows & columns in the table (but ideally leaving the headers)
• row_count() -> usize
• column_count() -> usize

Even with the existing API I can't see how to clear a table of all its rows and then append new rows one by one.

Just to let you know: I now realise I should be using one of the browser widgets for my purpose, so I won't be using the fltk_table, at least not in the application I'm working on now.

When trying to make the table resizable within a pack, I get the following error:

the trait bound `SmartTable: fltk::prelude::WidgetExt` is not satisfied
  --> src/main.rs:75:20
   |
75 |     pack.resizable(&table);
   |          --------- ^^^^^^ the trait `fltk::prelude::WidgetExt` is not implemented for `SmartTable`
   |          |
   |          required by a bound introduced by this call

I see that WidgetExt is implemented for Table and TableRow...

Running the following code panics:

let mut table = SmartTable::default_fill()
    .with_opts(TableOpts {
        rows: 0,
        cols: 10,
        editable: false,
        ..Default::default()
    });
table.append_empty_row("");

The problem seems to be that the code tries to determine the number of columns by getting the length of the vector in the first row of the data (data[0].len()) but data is empty in an empty table.

I can work around it by getting and locking data_ref(), but I thought I should report this anyway.

Hello, I'm trying to change the number of cols and rows at runtime, with:

                table.set_opts(TableOpts {
                    cell_align: enums::Align::Wrap,
                    editable: false,
                    rows: 55,
                    cols: 66,
                    ..Default::default()
                });

Is there any other way to change those? I've tried with: table.set_rows(55); But, not working.

I have been playing with this crate and while it is relatively easy to use, I think more data types should be supported.

In particular booleans should be accepted cell value with a check box or something to toggle.

From a user perspective, If I were to have a something in a table that can be true or false, it would be better for the user to say click the checkbox and have the program set it to be true.

However, with the current state of things, with every cell expected to be a string value, I can only simplify things down to Y/N, even though I thought I saw that tables in FLTK can render these properly.
