Custom component in tableListBox

[stick]

Hi !

I’m trying to manage id3 tags directly from my tableListBox component which displays my songs library (like iTunes does for example).

I’m overriding the refreshComponentForCell method to create a custom TextEditor which allows to modify the existing tag when any cell is clicked.

I would like to launch my saveTag() method whenever another cell is clicked than the currently focused.
Is there any existing virtual method called when my custom component loses focus and before it gets deleted ?
(focusgained is never called because the component has already been deleted)

I hope my poor english is clear enough for you to help me …

thanks in advance !

Yes - check out the Label component, it has lots of methods for handling exactly this kind of thing.

allright I hadn’t seen Label were editable, that’s exactly what I’m looking for…

thanks a lot

I did the similar thing like this,

if (columnId == kColumnIdName) {
    String sLabelText = pXml->getStringAttribute(T("Name"));
    Label* pLabel = (Label*)existingComponentToUpdate;
    if (pLabel != NULL)
        pLabel->setText(sLabelText, false);
    else
        pLabel = new Label(String::empty, sLabelText);
    return pLabel;
}
else {
    //  for any other column, just return 0, as we'll be painting these columns directly.
    jassert(existingComponentToUpdate == NULL);
    return NULL;
}

I could get the name displayed in the label. But when I click the name column, the label component steals the mouse click and the line could not be selected.

What do you think about the good solution if I want the behavior like iTunes, Mac OS X Finder or Windows Explorer?

You could use setEditable to only make the label editable on a double-click?

In the general application such as Finder, Explorer and iTunes, double click is not the way to edit the name.

• The first click is selecting the row.
• Click the selected row and wait 0.5 sec, the label is turned to be edited.
• Click the selected row and move mouse immediately, the label is turned to be edited.

I want to implement those functions. Now I’m trying to make custom compnent which inherits Label but the code wil be complex…

After some trying, here is my current solution…

Use this component in TableListBoxModel::refreshComponentForCell() to make the TableListBox like iTunes.
