Have DataTables display widgets in cells

[SebastienSyd]

I am using DataTables and I cannot display widgets in cells:

In the above example I tried to display a link with Static("[@click='app.bell']link[/]") (just for testing)

The idea would be to display any Static content (Links, Labels, etc.) or even buttons so that we can trigger an action based on the row the button is located

The DataTable is designed around displaying Rich renderables, which helps make it as efficient as possible. We don't have any plans any time soon for having it contain widgets.

If you want to links and the like in the DataTable you should be able to do that without using a Static or a Label as the cells in a DataTable will contain a renderable anyway.

I am using textual==0.16.0

[davep]

0.17 enabled processing of markup by default, so that will be the difference I believe. Either upgrade or if you need to remain on 0.16 for now use Text.from_markup from Rich to turn the links into renderables.

Thank you! Will upgrade tomorrow and test this out.
I greatly appreciate your time!

No worries, glad to help. Let me know how you get on. 🙂
