Creating an Array of Rings Programmatically

[Palazzo]

Hello Nathand,

I had the chance to take a brief look at your code. It seems really helpful; the idea seems quite feasible. I've seen couple of small UI errors though, one is like you said, the other one is like below images.

I will try to implement this idea to see which way is more efficient. Thanks. What I think about about cluster arrays is that they are really robust (in design manner) in UIs, but functionality is strongly dependant to array idea, which can be trouble for the application. It might take me a while to implement the idea to my application but I will give a shot and let you know the results afterwards.

Thanks for your interest so far.

Oops! The two errors you showed can be fixed simply by setting the table to have default values (or, write the array constant to the table at startup, through a local variable).

I think there's a workaround for the visual glitch I noted that involves making the text color of the table cell the same as the background while the Ring is over it. I also noticed another issue, the ring needs to be a few pixels shorter because if you click right on the border between the column header and the top cell, it pops up a ring and then writes that value to the column header. I'm sure there are a few more such issues, but it should be possible to fix or work around them.

If you do decide to use this approach, and you need help, please post. Also, if you're able to share your final result, I'd be interested to see it and I'm sure it would be helpful to other forum users as well.

Hello Nathand,

It seems I will study this no matter what way I decide in the end...I will let you and the community know the result for sure. It may take while due to my other occupations, but I will definetely ask for help when the time comes 

Cheers!

Really nice solution! No hacks, automatic alignment, sweet!
