How to use rich:scrollableDataTable

[icai]

Hi
I was trying to use rich:scrollableDataTable, But I found there are no events like 'onRowMouseOver', 'onRowMouseOut' even 'onRowclick'.

Is rich:scrollableDataTable meant to replace rich:dataTable if we want sorting and other features? Or its meant to be used in combination with rich:dataTable?

I am looking forward to use this component. Will appreciate any help.

Thanks!

rich:scrollableDataTable is NOT a replacement for rich:dataTable. Both of them will be in the lib.

sortable feature going to be implemented for rich:dataTable in the future versions. It is not scheduled yet, but rather sooner than later. It is one of the asked feature.

Currently, both components reuse the same rich:column, but do not use the whole potential of it. It is reservation for the future.

Well, there's no problem for us to add those events if they were missed.

rich:dataTable and scrollableDataTable are separate components with different feature sets. dataTable provides totals and column grouping while scrollable doesn't. Scrollable provides sorting, selection and column resize, as well as ajax scrolling.

These components have been developed separately, but will have more common features in future.

Sorting will be implemented in future versions of dataTable, but I doubt that it will have resizable headers.

Funny. It seems that both I and Sergey have posted simutaneously

Will the DataTable have a scrolling feature (no header resize, just scrolling built in the tag)?

I am using the DataTable component in but getting a nice scrolling bar which does not hide headers is a pain adn breaks the cell css styling (putting a scrooling on the "tbody" tag). If the same parameters: height, width could be added to the DataTable component with auto scrolling it would be great.

Thanks
