listening to events on table headers (original) (raw)

Hi,

In my app I have to listen to mouse events on table headers, I've tried to come up with a good solution to this but haven't found any. Posting in the JavaFX OTN forums also did not bring any better solution. As it is the only solution I see is replacing the headers via setGraphic method of TableColumn and attaching listeners to what I pass in to the setGraphic, even though I will end up replacing the TableColumn header with the same type of node as was previously present, so I end up calling setGraphic only for the sake of being able to attach listeners. This looks ugly.

Is there any better solution for this?

My use case is: 1- user mouse clicks the a table header to select a column 2- column gets selected. 3- Selected column is visually highlighted.

Thanks,
