JTableHeader (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0) (original) (raw)

javax.swing.table

Class JTableHeader

java.lang.Object extended by java.awt.Component java.awt.Container javax.swing.JComponent javax.swing.table.JTableHeader

All Implemented Interfaces:

ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, EventListener, Accessible, TableColumnModelListener

public class JTableHeader

extends JComponent

implements TableColumnModelListener, Accessible

This is the object which manages the header of the JTable.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Constructor Summary
JTableHeader() Constructs a JTableHeader with a default TableColumnModel.
JTableHeader(TableColumnModel cm) Constructs a JTableHeader which is initialized withcm as the column model.

Method Summary
void	columnAdded(TableColumnModelEvent e) Invoked when a column is added to the table column model.
int	columnAtPoint(Point point) Returns the index of the column that point lies in, or -1 if it lies out of bounds.

void	columnMoved(TableColumnModelEvent e) Invoked when a column is repositioned.
void	columnRemoved(TableColumnModelEvent e) Invoked when a column is removed from the table column model.
void	columnSelectionChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) Invoked when the selection model of the TableColumnModel is changed.
protected TableColumnModel	createDefaultColumnModel() Returns the default column model object which is a DefaultTableColumnModel.

Field Detail

table

protected JTable table

The table for which this object is the header; the default is null.

columnModel

protected TableColumnModel columnModel

The TableColumnModel of the table header.

reorderingAllowed

protected boolean reorderingAllowed

If true, reordering of columns are allowed by the user; the default is true.

resizingAllowed

protected boolean resizingAllowed

If true, resizing of columns are allowed by the user; the default is true.

updateTableInRealTime

protected boolean updateTableInRealTime

Obsolete as of Java 2 platform v1.3. Real time repaints, in response to column dragging or resizing, are now unconditional.

resizingColumn

protected transient TableColumn resizingColumn

The index of the column being resized. null if not resizing.

draggedColumn

protected transient TableColumn draggedColumn

The index of the column being dragged. null if not dragging.

draggedDistance

protected transient int draggedDistance

The distance from its original position the column has been dragged.

Constructor Detail

JTableHeader

public JTableHeader()

Constructs a JTableHeader with a default TableColumnModel.

See Also:

createDefaultColumnModel()

JTableHeader

public JTableHeader(TableColumnModel cm)

Constructs a JTableHeader which is initialized withcm as the column model. If cm isnull this method will initialize the table header with a default TableColumnModel.

Parameters:

cm - the column model for the table

See Also:

createDefaultColumnModel()

Method Detail

setTable

public void setTable(JTable table)

Sets the table associated with this header.

Parameters:

table - the new table

getTable

public JTable getTable()

Returns the table associated with this header.

Returns:

the table property

setReorderingAllowed

public void setReorderingAllowed(boolean reorderingAllowed)

Sets whether the user can drag column headers to reorder columns.

Parameters:

reorderingAllowed - true if the table view should allow reordering; otherwise false

See Also:

getReorderingAllowed()

getReorderingAllowed

public boolean getReorderingAllowed()

Returns true if the user is allowed to rearrange columns by dragging their headers, false otherwise. The default is true. You can rearrange columns programmatically regardless of this setting.

Returns:

the reorderingAllowed property

See Also:

setReorderingAllowed(boolean)
