Horizontal scroll for a table

[retifrav]

There is a table horizontal scroll example in Dear ImGui demo window:

Is this already implemented in Dear PyGui too? Can I do the same for my "overflowing" tables?
The documentation section is empty at the moment, and this demo file doesn't seem to contain the same example as in Dear ImGui demo window.

Hi, sorry for the delayed response. If you checkout our demo under "Layout & Scrolling" > "Scrolling", you should see some horizontal scrolling examples. We don't currently have an example using the table but we can certainly add one.

Nice! I've totally missed that demo section.
But regretfully, while I've managed to replicate that with text items, I couldn't make it work with a table - its columns are still "squeezed", and there is no horizontal scroll.
So an example with tables specifically would be quite useful, whenever you have time for that.

I am currently studying precisely that. Take a look at the site-packages/dearpygui/demo.py file:
Tables -> Scrolling, clipping -> Freezing rows/columns

Ah, thanks to this example finally I saw what I was doing wrong - I had policy=dpg.mvTable_SizingStretchProp, and I guess that is why my table was squeezing columns into available width instead of adding a scroll. I've set it to mvTable_SizingFixedSame, and now my table looks quite nice. It would be entirely perfect if there was a similar policy that would also doing stretching, but I can live with that.
And also I was missing scrollX=True.

I'll mark this thread as the answer, as it is the demo.py file that helped me find the solution.
Thank you!
