personalized table locked

[Xarxus]

Hey guys, I'm back after a bit of a break with one of my problems, hoping you all can
help me out. I need to show different tables from the ones CoreRPG usually displays.
To do this, I wrote the code below in my datalibrary.lua.The getTableRecordDisplayClass
function returns the correct class name to use for opening the table, and it works fine
with both the traditional tables and my custom ruleset tables.

However, I'm having an issue with the custom table window. It opens correctly, but
it's locked by default and doesn't change when I click the lock.

I can't figure out why.

["table"] = {
		bExport = true,                                                                     
		aDataMap = { "tables", "reference.tables", "tabledata", "reference.tabledata" },    
		aRecordDisplayClasses = {"table"},                                                  
		aGMEditButtons = { "button_add_table_guided", "button_add_table_import_text" },     
		sListDisplayClass = "masterindexitem_tables",                                       
		fRecordDisplayClass = getTableRecordDisplayClass,                                   
		aCustomFilters = {
			["Table type"] = { sField = "tabletype", fGetValue = getTableTypeValue },       
		}
	},

    <windowclass name="class_mytable" copy="record_window">
        <placement>
            <size width="470" height="550" />
        </placement>
        <sizelimits>
            <minimum width="470" height="550" />
            <maximum width="470" height="550" />
        </sizelimits>
        <softclose />
    </windowclass>

You'll need to override the "table" windowclass, rather than trying to force it in through the display class in the LibraryData which will only change the call for tables opened from the main campaign list.

First off, thanks a lot.

Now, let's get to what I've done. I reverted the definition in the datalibrary.lua file
to a version very close to the original. I'm not using the exact same version because
I want to define custom table types to handle the specifics of my system.
Here's the code I used:

    ["table"] = { 
        aDataMap = { "tables", "reference.tables", "tabledata", "reference.tabledata" },   
        aGMEditButtons = { "button_add_table_guided", "button_add_table_import_text" },
        sListDisplayClass = "masterindexitem_tables",                                       
        tOptions = {
            bExport = true,
        },
        aCustomFilters = {
            ["Table type"] = { sField = "tabletype", fGetValue = getTableTypeValue },
        }
    },

At this point, to manage the table type, I created a new window class called
masterindexitem_tables, so it shows an extra column with my type. I'll show the
code for that below as well.

    <windowclass name="masterindexitem_tables">
        <margins control="0,0,0,2" />
        <script file="campaign/scripts/masterindexitem_window.lua" />
        <sheetdata>
            <anchor_listitem_left_sm name="leftanchor" />
            <anchor_listitem_right_sm name="rightanchor" />

            <linkc_listitem_left name="link" />

            <button_masterindexitem_idelete name="idelete" />
            <button_masterindexitem_access name="access" />
            <button_masterindexitem_modified name="modified" />
            <stringc_masterindexitem_category name="category" />

            <masterindexitem_tabletype name="tabletype" />

            <string_listitem_center_noframe_static_linked name="name" />

        </sheetdata>
    </windowclass>

Everything works great, but now I'd like to intercept the event of creating a new
table so I can insert something that allows me to indicate what type of table to
create (traditional or custom).

The masterindexitem_tables only handles the list. How do I intercept the creation?
Which class should I redefine? Keep in mind that I don't want to do this for all lists
(Encounters, Images, Items, etc.), but only for Tables.

Why can't you just override the "table" class to have a "type" field (combo box) that swaps out the "content" area with the data you want to show?
This is how Item records handle changes based on Type field.

Then, you only need to override the table class; and not even monkey with LibraryData script at all.
