Defines the requirements for a table column model object suitable for use with JTable. @author paling

Instance Fields

function addColumn(aColumn:TableColumn): Void

Appends aColumn to the end of the tableColumns array. This method posts a columnAdded event to its listeners.

@see #removeColumn

aColumn

the TableColumn to be added

function addColumnModelListener(x:TableColumnModelListener): Void

Adds a listener for table column model events.

x

a TableColumnModelListener object

function getColumn(columnIndex:Int): TableColumn

Returns the TableColumn object for the column at columnIndex.

columnIndex

the index of the desired column

returns

the TableColumn object for the column at columnIndex

function getColumnCount(): Int

Returns the number of columns in the model.

returns

the number of columns in the model

function getColumnIndex(columnIdentifier:Dynamic): Int

Returns the index of the first column in the table whose identifier is equal to identifier, when compared using equals.

@see #getColumn

columnIdentifier

the identifier object

returns

the index of the first table column whose identifier is equal to identifier

function getColumnIndexAtX(xPosition:Int): Int

Returns the index of the column that lies on the horizontal point, xPosition; or -1 if it lies outside the any of the column's bounds.

In keeping with Swing's separable model architecture, a TableColumnModel does not know how the table columns actually appear on screen. The visual presentation of the columns is the responsibility of the view/controller object using this model (typically JTable). The view/controller need not display the columns sequentially from left to right. For example, columns could be displayed from right to left to accomodate a locale preference or some columns might be hidden at the request of the user. Because the model does not know how the columns are laid out on screen, the given xPosition should not be considered to be a coordinate in 2D graphics space. Instead, it should be considered to be a width from the start of the first column in the model. If the column index for a given X coordinate in 2D space is required, JTable.columnAtPoint can be used instead.

@see javax.swing.JTable#columnAtPoint

returns

the index of the column; or -1 if no column is found

function getColumnMargin(): Int

Returns the width between the cells in each column.

returns

the margin, in pixels, between the cells

function getColumnSelectionAllowed(): Bool

Returns true if columns may be selected. @see #setColumnSelectionAllowed

returns

true if columns may be selected

function getColumns(): Array<Dynamic>

Returns an Array of all the columns in the model.

returns

an Array of all the columns in the model

function getSelectedColumnCount(): Int

Returns the number of selected columns.

returns

the number of selected columns; or 0 if no columns are selected

function getSelectedColumns(): Array<Dynamic>

Returns an array of indicies of all selected columns.

returns

an array of integers containing the indicies of all selected columns; or an empty array if nothing is selected

function getSelectionModel(): ListSelectionModel

Returns the current selection model.

@see #setSelectionModel

returns

a ListSelectionModel object

function getTotalColumnWidth(): Int

Returns the total width of all the columns.

returns

the total computed width of all columns

function moveColumn(columnIndex:Int, newIndex:Int): Void

Moves the column and its header at columnIndex to newIndex. The old column at columnIndex will now be found at newIndex. The column that used to be at newIndex is shifted left or right to make room. This will not move any columns if columnIndex equals newIndex. This method posts a columnMoved event to its listeners.

columnIndex

the index of column to be moved

newIndex

index of the column's new location

function removeColumn(column:TableColumn): Void

Deletes the TableColumn column from the tableColumns array. This method will do nothing if column is not in the table's column list. This method posts a columnRemoved event to its listeners.

@see #addColumn

column

the TableColumn to be removed

function removeColumnModelListener(x:TableColumnModelListener): Void

Removes a listener for table column model events.

x

a TableColumnModelListener object

function setColumnMargin(newMargin:Int): Void

Sets the TableColumn's column margin to newMargin. This method posts a columnMarginChanged event to its listeners.

@see #getColumnMargin

newMargin

the width, in pixels, of the new column margins

function setColumnSelectionAllowed(flag:Bool): Void

Sets whether the columns in this model may be selected. @see #getColumnSelectionAllowed

flag

true if columns may be selected; otherwise false

function setSelectionModel(newModel:ListSelectionModel): Void

Sets the selection model.

@see #getSelectionModel

newModel

a ListSelectionModel object
