Wt

Hello,

I am trying to create custom editors for a WTableView and I have problems to give these editor the required size.

So I have a item-delegate (derived from Wt::WItemDelegate) and I have implemented the createEditor function like this:

Wt::WWidget* MyDelegate::createEditor(const Wt::WModelIndex &index,
                                           Wt::WFlags<Wt::ViewItemRenderFlag> flags) const
{
    Wt::WContainerWidget* container = new Wt::WContainerWidget();
    Wt::WContainerWidget* absoluteContainer = new Wt::WContainerWidget(container);

    absoluteContainer->decorationStyle().setBackgroundColor(Wt::green);
    absoluteContainer->setPositionScheme(Wt::Absolute);
    absoluteContainer->resize(400, 400);
    absoluteContainer->setMinimumSize(400, 400);
    absoluteContainer->setZIndex(999);

The result is, that the 'green' container at least exceeds the cells below it,

but the container is behind the cells right of it and outside the WTableView it is also not visible.

Any ideas how to give an editor a fixed size, which is always visible regardless the cell- or table size?

Thank you
