Ok, may be my question wasn't well asked at the first place :( but I've resolve my problem.
What i intended to do is to have a fixed table( with surrounding) where i can place my items without having the change on the numbers of the elements effecting the display of the table itself. So, to have that behavior, i didn't set a fixed height on the cell table (since that doesn't work) but I've put the hole table in a vertical panel with defined boder-style and manage the display of the cellTable with its css.
VerticalPanel contentPanelVP = getContentPanel();
contentPanelVP.add(this.trainerConfigurationTable);
/**
* Gets the panel that represents the surroundings
*
* @return configured vertical panel
*/
private VerticalPanel getContentPanel() {
VerticalPanel tableContentVP = new VerticalPanel();
tableContentVP.setVerticalAlignment(HasVerticalAlignment.ALIGN_TOP);
tableContentVP.setStyleName(CSS_TRAINING_BOX_CONTENT);
tableContentVP.setWidth(CONTENT_PANEL_WIDTH);
tableContentVP.setHeight(CONTENT_PANEL_HEIGHT);
return tableContentVP;
}
CSS
.tableContentVP{
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: grey;
padding: 0px;
background-color: white;
}
Table CSS
@def selectionBorderWidth 2px;
.cellTableWidget {
}
.cellTableFirstColumn {
height: 25px;
}
.cellTableLastColumn {
}
.cellTableFooter {
}
.cellTableHeader {
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 10px;
font-family: ARIAL;
font-weight: bold;
color: white;
text-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, .7);
background-image: none;
background-color: black;
height: 25px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.cellTableCell {
padding: 4px;
overflow: hidden;
font-size: 10px;
font-family: ARIAL;
text-align: center;
}
.cellTableSortableHeader {
cursor: pointer;
cursor: hand;
}
.cellTableEvenRow {
background: #ffffff;
height: 25px;
cursor: pointer;
cursor: hand;
}
.cellTableEvenRowCell {
border: selectionBorderWidth solid #ffffff;
}
.cellTableOddRow {
background: #f3f7fb;
height: 25px;
cursor: pointer;
cursor: hand;
}
.cellTableOddRowCell {
border: selectionBorderWidth solid #f3f7fb;
}
.cellTableHoveredRow {
background: #eee;
}
.cellTableHoveredRowCell {
border: selectionBorderWidth solid #eee;
}
.cellTableKeyboardSelectedRow {
background: #ffc;
}
.cellTableKeyboardSelectedRowCell {
border: selectionBorderWidth solid #ffc;
}
.cellTableSelectedRow {
background: #628cd5;
color: white;
height: auto;
overflow: auto;
}
.cellTableSelectedRowCell {
border: selectionBorderWidth solid #628cd5;
}
/**
* The keyboard selected cell is visible over selection.
*/
.cellTableKeyboardSelectedCell {
border: selectionBorderWidth solid #d7dde8;
}
.cellTableLoading {
margin: 30px;
}
Voila !
I hope, it will help someone out there.
