Question

I’m using gwt in my web app and I have a html panel which contains a <table>. I’ve chosen to do this instead of flextable due to some annoying issues when styling it as being unable to do <tbody valign="top">.

I wanted to know if it’s possible to wrap a html table

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Name</th>
      <th>Path</th>
      <th>Type</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
</table>

In a class like Flextable so I can easily control rows and columns through Java?

Something like

Label.wrap("id");

but for tables.

You can also format your data in FlexTable.

You can use flexTable.getRowFormatter(), flexTable.getColumnFormatter() or flexTable.getColumnFormatter().

You can apply alignment, style to rows, columns and cells using above FlexTable attributes.

Please provide a standalone test case if you are facing any problems with FlexTable.
