Moving columns

The user can dynamically rearrange the columns in a table by dragging their header to a new location. This functionality can be disabled and enabled with the method setReorderingAllowed of the class IlpTable.

To rearrange the columns by programming, use the following code.

How to rearrange columns in a table

IlpTable tableComponent = new IlpTable();
// This table will contain Network Elements
IlpClass acceptedClass = IltNetworkElement.GetIlpClass();
tableComponent.setAcceptedClass(acceptedClass);
...
// Retrieve the IlpAttribute corresponding to the name in 
// IltNetworkElement class
IlpAttribute name = acceptedClass.getAttribute("name");
// Column "name" will take the second position
tableComponent.setColumnIndex(name,1);

The default order of columns for a business class can also be controlled through the tableColumnOrder property. For more information, see Customizing table column headers and rows.
