Feature request: possibility of disabling some right-click options

[bartlomiejduda]

Hello. Thank you for great tool. I have small feature request for future versions.

I have tried to disable adding rows and deleting rows for my table and I had to do it manually by changing line in Tables.py
from
general = ["Select All", "Add Row(s)" , "Delete Row(s)", "Auto Fit Columns", "Filter Records", "Preferences"]
to general = ["Select All", "Auto Fit Columns", "Filter Records", "Preferences"]

But it would be nice to make it possible while creating new table, for example:
table = TableCanvas(some_frame, model=model, disable_add_rows=True, disable_delete_rows=True)

It would be good solution to have such parameter for every right-click option. :)

Hello @bartlomiejduda Doing something like this would help serve your purpose: TableCanvas(self.tframe,read_only=True)

The above functionality helps make your table read-only!

Hey, @hannansatopay Thanks for answer. I know read-only option, I have tested it earlier, but in my particular case I needed to disable only adding and deleting rows to prevent breaking some functionality by user. :)

Hello, It's possible but you have to make a few changes

1. On your ide navigate to class TableCanvas(Canvas):

2. With crtl + f look for something like rename column it doesn't really matter the important thing is that you find the popup. You can also look for def popupMenu(self, event): and you will find what we are looking for just below. Note that we have two def popupMenu( , so changes are slightly different.

3. You just have to comment on what you don't need.

4. Example

On def popupMenu(self, event, rows=None, cols=None, outside=None): you have to change:

                    defaultactions = {
                    # "Set Fill Color" : lambda : self.setcellColor(rows,cols,key='bg'),
                    # "Set Text Color" : lambda : self.setcellColor(rows,cols,key='fg'),
                    "Copiar" : lambda : self.copyCell(rows, cols),
                    "Pegar" : lambda : self.pasteCell(rows, cols),
                    "Fill Down" : lambda : self.fillDown(rows, cols),
                    "Fill Right" : lambda : self.fillAcross(cols, rows),
                    # "Add Row(s)" : lambda : self.addRows(),   THIS LINE                   
                    # "Delete Row(s)" : lambda : self.deleteRow(), THIS LINE

But you also need to change this list below:
general = [...

5. If you get any errors after doing this it's because some change is missing. In def popupMenu(self, event): changes are slightly different as I said before.

To sum up you just have comment and change values like the ones in general = [... for example.

Hello. Yeah, I was able to do it as I described in my first post by changing "general" list:

I have tried to disable adding rows and deleting rows for my table and I had to do it manually by changing line in Tables.py
from
general = ["Select All", "Add Row(s)" , "Delete Row(s)", "Auto Fit Columns", "Filter Records", "Preferences"]
to general = ["Select All", "Auto Fit Columns", "Filter Records", "Preferences"]

It is only a feature request for developers to make it by parameters:

It would be good solution to have such parameter for every right-click option. :)

For me It would be safer to make such changes in my code rather than tkintertable code. :)

Yes I think since you know how to do it it's better to allow developers to sub-class the table and add this themselves. I generally am not adding new features to this package now, only bug fixes.
