Table Properties
The
IliTable class supports annotating parts of a table with properties. In contrast to the primary content of the table (the table's rows), the properties are not constrained by the table schema.
A property has a name (an
IlSymbol* object) and a value (an
IliValue object).
The parts of an
IliTable object that can have properties are:
The whole table
Any column
Any row
Any cell
Each part can have any number of properties attached to it as long as the property names are unique for each part. Two different parts (two cells or a cell and a row) can have properties with the same name.
The
IliTable class does not manage properties itself, instead it delegates property management to the
IliTablePropertyManager class.
An
IliTable object has a default property manager, but it can manage additional property managers if needed. The requirement that a given part of a table cannot have two properties with the same name applies to each property-manager. Among different property managers, a given
IliTable part can have properties with the same name, one for each property manager.
