I am overriding the display functions as you suggested. Working well. Thanks again.

What would be the best way of having one row of a table be filled with item icons? Would I just need to have custom display functions for the cells and just do all the icon stuff myself on the cell frame?

Love the library. I have a ton of scroll frames in TradeSkillMaster and am slowly converting them all over to use this library as it's much easier to code and tweak and most importantly looks better :)

Thanks

I like the library. I was wondering if you had thought about adding an option to control whether mouseover highlighting is enabled. If you change the highlight color, it also will stop actual row selection from highlighting.

I was able to turn off the row mouseover highlighting by calling RegisterEvent and replace the OnEnter and OnLeave but it seems like it would be nice to just have an option. It's possible in the future that those events could be use internally for other purposes.

doing some work on another mod that i intend to use lib-st, but i'm dying for grouping mechanics. it occurs to me that since you're passing the data and realrow, then it's possible that only a bit of reworking would be necessary to get grouping going.

what you'd do is have a data field for any item that's a group header. that data field would be just like the main data field (ie, indexed array of items with a cols array, user data, and potentially a data subfield). group headers would need to have an expanded/collapsed flag as well. probably would need to associate the filtered array into the data table itself so that subgroup data fields would also have a filtered table go with them.

sorting would be recursive. i THINK you could handle that right in the compare (when comparing a header, if it's contents aren't sorted then you sort them and set the flag saying they're sorted).

filtering should just iterate over all items (again using recursion).

the display becomes the biggest issue - how do you scroll down the list easily? you can't just start the display loop with item number 275 (for example) you need to calculate what item that is. that might be a fast calculation, so maybe it's not a problem, but since it'd need to fire every time you redraw, some better solution would be good to figure out...

anyway, what are your thoughts on this? i could attempt to implement this in my local copy and send you the changes. it should be able to work without breaking compatability with current users... i think...

works great thanks for all the help, you rock!

im having problems with two things atm. the first is trying to define a parent for the scrolling table when i have a ace gui frame mde. the other is avtually getting the data to populate correctly. the only thing i have been able to sucessfully do is get the name, rank and level of one person from the guild and their data repeated throughout the table. eveyrthing else i have tried has resulted in an error. here is the code:

local ScrollingTable = LibStub("ScrollingTable");
local cols = {
    {
        ["name"] = "Name",
         ["width"] = 100,
         ["color"] = { ["r"] = 0.5, ["g"] = 0.5, ["b"] = 1.0, ["a"] = 1.0 },
    },
    {
        ["name"] = "Rank",
        ["width"] = 100,
        ["align"] = "CENTER",
        ["bgcolor"] = { ["r"] = 1.0, ["g"] = 0.0, ["b"] = 0.0, ["a"] = 0.2 },
    },
    {
        ["name"] = "Level",
        ["width"] = 100,
        ["align"] = "RIGHT",
        ["bgcolor"] = { ["r"] = 0.0, ["g"] = 0.0, ["b"] = 0.0, ["a"] = 0.5 },
    },
};
local st = ScrollingTable:CreateST(cols);
local gdata = {}
for row = 1, GetNumGuildMembers() do
    if not gdata[row] then
        gdata[row] = {};
    end
    for col = 1, 3 do
        if not gdata[row].cols then
            gdata[row].cols = {};
        end
           for i = 1, GetNumGuildMembers() do
     local name, rank, rankIndex, level, class, zone, note, officernote, online, status, classFileName = GetGuildRosterInfo(i)
         gdata[row].cols[1] = { ["value"] = name };
         gdata[row].cols[2] = { ["value"] = rank };
         gdata[row].cols[3] = { ["value"] = level };
    end
end
st:SetData(gdata);
end
end
