public class Table
extends Composite

Instances of this class implement a selectable user interface object that displays a list of images and strings and issues notification when selected.

The item children that may be added to instances of this class must be of type TableItem.

Style VIRTUAL is used to create a Table whose TableItems are to be populated by the client on an on-demand basis instead of up-front. This can provide significant performance improvements for tables that are very large or for which TableItem population is expensive (for example, retrieving values from an external source).

Here is an example of using a Table with style VIRTUAL:

  final Table table = new Table (parent, SWT.VIRTUAL | SWT.BORDER);
  table.setItemCount (1000000);
  table.addListener (SWT.SetData, new Listener () {
      public void handleEvent (Event event) {
          TableItem item = (TableItem) event.item;
          int index = table.indexOf (item);
          item.setText ("Item " + index);
          System.out.println (item.getText ());
      }
  });
 

Note that although this class is a subclass of Composite, it does not make sense to add Control children to it, or set a layout on it.

Styles:

SINGLE, MULTI, CHECK, FULL_SELECTION, HIDE_SELECTION, VIRTUAL

Events:

Selection, DefaultSelection, SetData

Note: Only one of the styles SINGLE, and MULTI may be specified.

IMPORTANT: This class is not intended to be subclassed.

public Table(Composite parent,
             int style)

Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:

parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)

style - the style of control to construct

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
• ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass

Method Detail

getAdapter

public <T> T getAdapter(java.lang.Class<T> adapter)

Description copied from class: Widget

Implementation of the Adaptable interface.

IMPORTANT: This method is not part of the RWT public API. It is marked public only so that it can be shared within the packages provided by RWT. It should never be accessed from application code.

Specified by:

getAdapter in interface Adaptable

Overrides:

getAdapter in class Composite

Parameters:

adapter - the lookup class

Returns:

an object that can be cast to the given class or null if there is no adapter associated with the given class.

setData

public void setData(java.lang.String key,
                    java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from class: Widget

Sets the application defined property of the receiver with the specified name to the given value.

Applications may associate arbitrary objects with the receiver in this fashion. If the objects stored in the properties need to be notified when the widget is disposed of, it is the application's responsibility to hook the Dispose event on the widget and do so.

Overrides:

setData in class Widget

Parameters:

key - the name of the property

value - the new value for the property

See Also:

Widget.getData(String)

getColumnCount

public int getColumnCount()

Returns the number of columns contained in the receiver. If no TableColumns were created by the programmer, this value is zero, despite the fact that visually, one column of items may be visible. This occurs when the programmer uses the table like a list, adding items but never creating a column.

Returns:

the number of columns

Throws:

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

getColumns

public TableColumn[] getColumns()

Returns an array of TableColumns which are the columns in the receiver. Columns are returned in the order that they were created. If no TableColumns were created by the programmer, the array is empty, despite the fact that visually, one column of items may be visible. This occurs when the programmer uses the table like a list, adding items but never creating a column.

Note: This is not the actual structure used by the receiver to maintain its list of items, so modifying the array will not affect the receiver.

Returns:

the items in the receiver

Throws:

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

See Also:

getColumnOrder(), setColumnOrder(int[]), TableColumn.getMoveable(), TableColumn.setMoveable(boolean), SWT.Move

getColumn

public TableColumn getColumn(int index)

Returns the column at the given, zero-relative index in the receiver. Throws an exception if the index is out of range. Columns are returned in the order that they were created. If no TableColumns were created by the programmer, this method will throw ERROR_INVALID_RANGE despite the fact that a single column of data may be visible in the table. This occurs when the programmer uses the table like a list, adding items but never creating a column.

Parameters:

index - the index of the column to return

Returns:

the column at the given index

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_INVALID_RANGE - if the index is not between 0 and the number of elements in the list minus 1 (inclusive)

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

tableColumn - the search column

Returns:

the index of the column

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the string is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

setColumnOrder

public void setColumnOrder(int[] order)

Sets the order that the items in the receiver should be displayed in to the given argument which is described in terms of the zero-relative ordering of when the items were added.

Parameters:

order - the new order to display the items

Throws:

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the item order is null
• ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT - if the item order is not the same length as the number of items

See Also:

getColumnOrder(), TableColumn.getMoveable(), TableColumn.setMoveable(boolean), SWT.Move

getColumnOrder

public int[] getColumnOrder()

Returns an array of zero-relative integers that map the creation order of the receiver's items to the order in which they are currently being displayed.

Specifically, the indices of the returned array represent the current visual order of the items, and the contents of the array represent the creation order of the items.

Note: This is not the actual structure used by the receiver to maintain its list of items, so modifying the array will not affect the receiver.

setFont

public void setFont(Font font)

Description copied from class: Control

Sets the font that the receiver will use to paint textual information to the font specified by the argument, or to the default font for that kind of control if the argument is null.

Overrides:

setFont in class Control

Parameters:

font - the new font (or null)

computeSize

public Point computeSize(int wHint,
                         int hHint,
                         boolean changed)

Description copied from class: Control

Returns the preferred size of the receiver.

The preferred size of a control is the size that it would best be displayed at. The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask a control questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does the control need to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for the hint.

If the changed flag is true, it indicates that the receiver's contents have changed, therefore any caches that a layout manager containing the control may have been keeping need to be flushed. When the control is resized, the changed flag will be false, so layout manager caches can be retained.

Overrides:

computeSize in class Composite

Parameters:

wHint - the width hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)

hHint - the height hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)

changed - true if the control's contents have changed, and false otherwise

Returns:

the preferred size of the control.
