Annakan / EnamlxTableView_warts

a probably short lived repo around usage of enaml/Enamlx/TableView and a few warts to know

what is this about

This repos contains both some experiments showing small bug/warts in enamlx TableView and ways to work around then and have a working Qt grid in enaml.

what's in it

Directories table_view2/3/4 contain working programs that show working TableView usages while supporting deletion, including deletion of currectly "in-view" items and multiple item selection.

They contain a small readme that explain the sample, the encoutered "bugs" and the strategy used to work around them.

Some enamlx TableView properties seems poorly named :

• visible_row / table.visible_rows !!! : visible_row is the first row that can be visible in the grid, visible_rowS is the number of rows the tableView will manage (probably more than it will display)
  What about : first_item_to_display, nb_items_in_grid ? (item being the name of the property of the TableView that contain the displayed 'record')
• row should probaly be named row_id because it is in fact a unique row identifier and row means more "the whole row".

Note for other developers :

It is convenient that row is mappable to a property of the undelying container, making the link between the undelying container and the displayed row. For instance when displaying items from a list (an Atom ContainerList) it can be the index in the list. When the grid is displaying a portion of the underlying container from the 100th element to the 120th, the row property for each TableViewRow contains 100, 101, 102
You could also use loop_index to store in the TableViewRow a reference to the item diplayed, or loop_item to store the objet in the TableViewRow. Example use both
