The JViews TGO table
component is based on the Swing table component. It displays
objects in rows and their attributes in columns.
You can customize the rendering of cells,
headers, and the component view itself.
The table component is connected to a data
source, from which it retrieves the business objects to be
displayed. By default, the table displays all the objects contained
in the data source. However, it is possible to restrict the
contents displayed by:
- Setting a filter
- Selecting the objects to be displayed based on their name
- Specifying an accepted class of objects
The most notable features of the table
component include:
- Various selection modes
- Moving and resizing of columns
- Sorting columns
- Filtering at the adapter level and at the component levelPossibility to refine the filtering on a specific class of objects.
- Searching for a string in the table
The table component is implemented by the class IlpTable which is a Swing
JComponent
that can be directly inserted in a
JPanel
.
IlpTable provides the API for the most common
uses of the table component, such as:
- setting or retrieving the associated data source: getDataSource, setDataSource
- accessing and modifying the selection:
getSelectionModel(),setSelectionModel(),addSelectionObject(),removeSelectionObject(),clearSelection(),isObjectSelected(),getSelectedObject(),getSelectedObjects() - setting or retrieving the view interactor:
setViewInteractor(),getViewInteractor() - filtering the table rows:
setFilter(),getFilter(),setAcceptedClass(),getAcceptedClass() - sorting the table columns:
addSortingCriteria(),getSortingOrder()
IlpTable also acts as a façade for a number
of lower-level components that it contains. These components
provide more detailed APIs and advanced services. They are
described in Filtering rows.
