It's limitation of scrollable table. we can't support spanning there because of scrolling and resizing features.

Hi Ilya,

           Thanks for your reply.I wants to set the scroll for the table which has the spanning.How can i achieve this?Is there any other way or component for achieve this?Please guide me.

Thanks in advance.

in general you could use two tables one to display header and second for data. second could be wrapped to scrollable container. in that case - you could have any spanning inside second. But you have to synchronize width's of header and data columns on your own (by fixing in px) and probably will need to solve some problems like "scroll position getting lost after rerender"

Hi ilya,

         Thanks for your reply.But i feel the solution is not optimum.Because it puts lot of burden on developer's shoulder.Is there any other solution for this?

Thanks in advance.

u can try something like that:

<h:panelGrid id="currentPanel">

<rich:scrollableDataTable width="290px" height="100px"

id="DataTable" selection="#{ManagedBean.selection}"

value="#{ManagedBean.Bean.currentList}"

var="current"

binding="#{ManagedBean.currentTable}"

>

<f:facet name="header">

<h:outputLabel value="Current "

style="padding-left: 80px; padding-right: 87px; border-bottom: 2px white solid;color: white; background-color: #5985bf;font:'verdana';font-size: 12px;font-weight: bold;"></h:outputLabel>

</f:facet>

<rich:column width="130px" sortable="false">

<f:facet name="header">

<h:outputText value="Id" styleClass="headerLabel" />

</f:facet>

<h:outputText id="idTxt" value="#{current.Id}" />

</rich:column>

<rich:column width="145px" sortable="false">

<f:facet name="header">

<h:outputText value="Name" styleClass="headerLabel"/>

</f:facet>

<h:outputText id="valueTxt"

value="#{current.Name}" />

</rich:column>

</rich:scrollableDataTable>

</h:panelGrid>
