CellTable column text alignment

[Lukas Herman]

Hello,
is there any way to set text-align property on CellTable column? The
current CellTable code allows only static cellStyle to be applied to
tdClasses.
I would expect an optional Column class cellStyle property, which
would be appended to tdClasses during rendering.

Can you use CellTable#addColumnStyleName() to add the text-align property to the col element for the column?

Thanks,
John LaBanca

Thanks for pointing this out.
This adds class name to colgroup col, where only limited subset of CSS
properties is allowed (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/tables.html#columns).
Unfortunately text-align is ignored when set on <COL> element.
Anyway, addColumnStyleName() requires additional index over added
columns. A typical use case for this scenario is: create table
displaying row data from the database, displaying first column is ID
number right aligned, next column is NAME text centered etc..
While CellTable API defines addColumn(Column), specifying additional
style properties on added column would require to maintain additional
column index property to reference currently added column.

From my point of view the column style name is clearly a property of
Column class.

With regards
Lukas Herman

We have exactly the same problem. Seems this is not possible; same for
vertical alignment (bottom, middle, top). You can only set one style
for all columns.

I created an issue to track this:

http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=5623

I'll try to get it into GWT 2.1.1, but we're coming down to the wire.
