getDefaultFormattedValue not being called?!

[edulid]

The method getDefaultFormattedValue() is not being called for my listgrid.

Here is sample code from a modified showcase example:

package zedes2.client;

import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;
import com.smartgwt.client.data.DataSource;
import com.smartgwt.client.data.DataSourceField;
import com.smartgwt.client.data.Record;
import com.smartgwt.client.types.FieldType;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.grid.ListGrid;

public class Alternate implements EntryPoint {
    
    public void onModuleLoad() {  
        
        final ListGrid countryGrid = new ListGrid() {
            @Override
            public String getDefaultFormattedValue( Record record, int rowNum, int colNum )
            {
                System.out.println("Entering getDefaultFormattedValue");
                return super.getDefaultFormattedValue( record, rowNum, colNum );
            }
        };          
        countryGrid.setWidth(500);  
        countryGrid.setHeight(224);  
        countryGrid.setShowAllRecords(true);  
        countryGrid.setDataSource(CountryDS.getInstance()); 
        countryGrid.setAutoFetchData(true);  
        countryGrid.setCanEdit(true);
        
        countryGrid.draw();   
    }  
    
    private static class CountryDS extends DataSource {  
        // The DataSource would normally be defined external to any classes that use it.  
  
        private static CountryDS instance = null;  
          
        public static CountryDS getInstance() {  
            if (instance == null) {  
              instance = new CountryDS("countryDS_DS");  
            }  
            return instance;  
        }  
  
        public CountryDS(String id) {  
            setID(id);  
            setRecordXPath("/List/country");  
            DataSourceField countryNameField = new DataSourceField("countryName", FieldType.TEXT, "Country");  
            DataSourceField countryCodeField = new DataSourceField("countryCode", FieldType.TEXT, "Code");  
            DataSourceField independenceField = new DataSourceField("independence", FieldType.DATE, "Independence");  
            DataSourceField populationField = new DataSourceField("population", FieldType.INTEGER, "Population");  
            DataSourceField gdpField = new DataSourceField("gdp", FieldType.FLOAT, "GDP ($B)");  
  
            setFields(countryNameField, countryCodeField, independenceField, populationField, gdpField);  
            //EDIT BEGIN
            setDataURL("ds/country.data.xml");
            //EDIT END
        }  
  
    }  
  
}

The System.out.println("Entering getDefaultFormattedValue"); is never being called.

This is not an override point, it's a convenience method for you. Use a CellFormatter to format cell values.

Ah ok, thanks.

What I need to do is to set a cell value to 'x' for some cases, or to '-' for other cases.

Something like "getBaseStyle( ListGridRecord record, int rowNum, int colNum )", but instead of returning the base style, returning the value.

What can I use for this case?
I know I could use a field in my datasource, but I'd prefer some override point like getBaseStyle( ListGridRecord record, int rowNum, int colNum ).
Is there anything like that?
Or how could I use the getDefaultFormattedValue() for this use case?

Once again, add a CellFormatter.
