I have a table with a linked cell editor. If I set the display value via

Code: Select all

book.setValue("PROJ_NAME")

then the ID is not set automatically.

Is it possible to set the ID automatically?

The DataBook doesn't set the values automatically, but the DataBookUtil does:

Code: Select all

DataBookUtil.setValue(book, "PROJ_NAME", value);

But be careful, if you set the ID column it needs a linked cell editor (can be the same as for the PROJ_NAME column) too.

The DataBookUtil.setValue method checks if the given column uses a linked cell editor and updates all referenced columns too. If there's no linked cell editor, a simple setValue of the DataBook will be triggered.

But be careful if you like sausages you will like these sausage stuffers so set the ID column it needs a linked cell editor (can be the same as for the PROJ_NAME column) too.

What exactly happens when the setValue of the DataBook is triggered?

What do you mean? Which events will be triggered?

The DataBook.setValue simply sets a value for a specific column. It triggers different events. This method doesn't take care of cell editors

The DataBookUtil.setValue checks if the given column contains a linked cell editor and sets all referenced columns not only the given column. The databook events will be triggered as usual.
