Table bean 2.0 released

Classic Servoy
1

Yesterday we released version 2.0 of our popular Table bean. The new version offers these new features:

  • Multiline text in cells
  • Multiline text in column headers
  • Color editor
  • Date picker for date columns
  • Adjustable column header height (allows also to hide the header completely)
  • Compatible with Servoy 4 RC4
  • Changed sort icon to Servoy’s table view sort icon
  • Improved sort (accepts “column1 asc, column2 desc” strings)

Below you can see multiline cell and header text and the color editor. If the user clicks on a color editor cell, the standard color picker is shown.

The new version can be obtained from our websiteand is free for registered users. Please be sure to read the release notes that can be found on the bottom of the Table bean page, because some methods have been deprecated and some things have changed.

Excellent improvements, Patrick! Thanks a lot!

I really cannot say enough good things about the new capabilities in Table bean 2.0.

We are able to implement process checklist forms that are easily maintained since the forms are data representing a simple human readable formatting language and the user inputs to the forms are stored using the same lanquage. The tablebean looks and behaves like a traditional spreadsheet or wordprocessing page depending on the settings for a particular form. By treating the forms completely as data we are able to quickly adapt to new and changing requirements. We simply load data into the database of the application. None of this could have been accomplished without Table bean 2.0.

My heartfelt thanks to Partick for his patience, his listening ear and drive to make a good product, world-class.

Is the table bean compatible with the web client? Are there any limitations or differences between the web client and smart client if using the table bean?

Currently the Table-Bean does not work in the web client. We are working on a web component and hope to release that this fall.
