Column Context menu extendedDatatable

[torisuta]

Hello,

I placed in my page the rich:extendedDataTable. But the column context menu is not showing like in the exadel example. I did read the developers document and I couldn't find any information about activating it.

- I'm using RichFaces version 4.3 .

- I din't skin anything yet.

My code:

<rich:extendedDataTable id="sampleTable" value="#{sampleController.assetList}" rows="5"
   var="sample" filterVar="filterValue"
   width="500px" height="500px" selectionMode="none"
   rowKeyVar="rkvar" tableState="#{sampleController.tableState}"
   reRender="datascroller">
   <f:facet name="noData">
  Nothing found
   </f:facet>

   <rich:column sortable="true"  headerClass="dataTableHeader" sortBy="#{sample.asset_model_id}" id="colSampleType"
   filterExpression="#{empty filterValue or fn:startsWith(sample.asset_model_id, filterValue)}"
   filterValue="#{sampleController.sampleTypeFilter}"
   label="Sample Type">
   <f:facet name="header">
   <h:panelGroup>
   <h:outputText value="Type " id="sampleType"/>
   </h:panelGroup>
   </f:facet>
   <h:outputText value="#{sample.asset_model_id}"  id="sample_type"/>
   </rich:column>

</rich:extendedDataTable>

Hi,

there is no built-in context menu in 4.3.x.

I see, but the extendedDatatable in version 3.3.3 does?

[michpetrov]

I don't think I understand, yes there is a context menu in 3.3.x. The main difference is that in RF 4 you cannot group rows and hide columns, sorting is still there.

Well let me explain my question with a picture.

As you can see in the picture, the Extended DataTable in the exadeI livedemo (RF V3.3.x) has a Column Context Menu when hovering over the header. With this menu I can sort, hide, group columns etc.  My question was how to "show" the Column Context Menu in the Extended Datatable (RF 4).

Kind regards,

Tristan

There isn't a way to show it, that functionality is not implemented in RF 4. If you want to have something similar to it you'll have to make it yourself using rich:dropDownMenu.
