DataTable the column names is fixed #2017

[batiyaa]

Question

I have a listview, it has a datatable. How do I make the column names fixed so that when scrolling I can see the column names.

Code sample

table = ft.DataTable(
        columns=[
            ft.DataColumn(ft.Text("Fisrt")),
            ft.DataColumn(ft.Text("Second")),
        ],
        rows=rows,
    )
    
    listview = ft.ListView(expand=1, spacing=10, padding=20, on_scroll_interval=20)
    listview.controls.append(table)
    listview.on_scroll = on_scroll_event

Error message

I have the same query, I don't understand why you share the flutter package, how we can use it or flet will add the same table widget in next version? thanks

Wasn't that explicit, sorry.
I was asking if that package could satisfy the needs.

[Vinny1210]

that package satisfy the needs but it's for flutter not flet. The flet datatable widget not good enough. Could you please update it priority? Appreciate

I like that DataTable2 widget! Let's make a new issue to implement that?

May I know how did you implement the fixed column name with current datatable widget, thanks

I haven't really found a solution. For many reasons, flet does not satisfy in development even in simple projects. I decided to rewrite everything on react + Antd table. It's easier and has more features. ChatGPT will help you.
