Constructor Detail

Table

public Table(Composite parent,
             int style)

Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:

parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)

style - the style of control to construct

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
• ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass

See Also:

SWT.SINGLE, SWT.MULTI, SWT.CHECK, SWT.FULL_SELECTION, SWT.HIDE_SELECTION, Widget.checkSubclass(), Widget.getStyle()

Method Detail

addSelectionListener

public void addSelectionListener(SelectionListener listener)

Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when the receiver's selection changes, by sending it one of the messages defined in the SelectionListener interface.

When widgetSelected is called, the item field of the event object is valid. If the reciever has SWT.CHECK style set and the check selection changes, the event object detail field contains the value SWT.CHECK. widgetDefaultSelected is typically called when an item is double-clicked. The item field of the event object is valid for default selection, but the detail field is not used.

Parameters:

listener - the listener which should be notified

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null

SWTException -

• ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
• ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

SelectionListener, removeSelectionListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionListener), SelectionEvent

checkSubclass

protected void checkSubclass()

Description copied from class: Widget

Checks that this class can be subclassed.

The SWT class library is intended to be subclassed only at specific, controlled points (most notably, Composite and Canvas when implementing new widgets). This method enforces this rule unless it is overridden.

IMPORTANT: By providing an implementation of this method that allows a subclass of a class which does not normally allow subclassing to be created, the implementer agrees to be fully responsible for the fact that any such subclass will likely fail between SWT releases and will be strongly platform specific. No support is provided for user-written classes which are implemented in this fashion.

The ability to subclass outside of the allowed SWT classes is intended purely to enable those not on the SWT development team to implement patches in order to get around specific limitations in advance of when those limitations can be addressed by the team. Subclassing should not be attempted without an intimate and detailed understanding of the hierarchy.

Overrides:

checkSubclass in class Composite

clear

public void clear(int index)

Parameters:

index - the index of the item to clear

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_INVALID_RANGE - if the index is not between 0 and the number of elements in the list minus 1 (inclusive)

SWTException -

Parameters:

start - the start index of the item to clear

end - the end index of the item to clear

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_INVALID_RANGE - if either the start or end are not between 0 and the number of elements in the list minus 1 (inclusive)

computeSize

public Point computeSize(int wHint,
                         int hHint,
                         boolean changed)

Description copied from class: Control

Returns the preferred size of the receiver.

The preferred size of a control is the size that it would best be displayed at. The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask a control questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does the control need to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for the hint.

If the changed flag is true, it indicates that the receiver's contents have changed, therefore any caches that a layout manager containing the control may have been keeping need to be flushed. When the control is resized, the changed flag will be false, so layout manager caches can be retained.

Overrides:

computeSize in class Composite

deselect

public void deselect(int[] indices)

Deselects the items at the given zero-relative indices in the receiver. If the item at the given zero-relative index in the receiver is selected, it is deselected. If the item at the index was not selected, it remains deselected. Indices that are out of range and duplicate indices are ignored.

getColumn

public TableColumn getColumn(int index)

Returns the column at the given, zero-relative index in the receiver. Throws an exception if the index is out of range. If no TableColumns were created by the programmer, this method will throw ERROR_INVALID_RANGE despite the fact that a single column of data may be visible in the table. This occurs when the programmer uses the table like a list, adding items but never creating a column.

Parameters:

index - the index of the column to return

Returns:

the column at the given index

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException -

• ERROR_INVALID_RANGE - if the index is not between 0 and the number of elements in the list minus 1 (inclusive)
