Advanced grid widget
Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2019 09:13
All,
I'm currently reimplementing some GUI functionality from wxWidgets into CEGUI, and need to be able to reproduce the general look and behaviour of the grid in the image below.
Specific things I need are the ability for cells to span multiple rows, columns or both, and for cells to have different background colours.
In the interests of saving myself a lot of work and not reinventing the wheel, has anybody already written code that can do this? If so, can you please point me at where I can find it. If not, any hints for how best to approach the implementation myself would be very much appreciated. I've done quite a lot with CEGUI already, but still struggle a bit with the theoretical framework behind all the interacting components, so it's hard to see the right solution laid out before me.
By the way, I've already done a much more basic version of the grid using the GridLayoutContainer, without large or coloured cells, but I suspect the use of that class is a dead-end for what I need to achieve. Please correct me if I'm wrong on that!
Cheers,
Andrew
