The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/.

A table is data structure that can be represented in a The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/. or a The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/..

Description

Table can contains a set of structured data: the structure of the entity is defined by the The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/.. Each entity contained in the table is a The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/.. At the intersection of a column and a row is a The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/.. A Cell describes how the value is represented (displayed text, colors, style, icon...).

Example

Imagine that you want to have a table of persons that are structured as followed:

  • Name (String)
  • First name (String)
  • Age (Integer)
  • Date of birth (Date)

A such table needs to contains 4 columns :

Here is how this table looks like in the The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/.:

Access to the data

To access a value of a table, the common pattern is to go throw the column. For example if you want to access the age of a person, at a precise row index r, the code is: 

  private Integer getAgeOfPersonAtRow(int r){
    return getTable().getAgeColumn().getValue(r);
  }

Add a rows in the table

The table API (client-side) offers different ways to add rows in the table:

1: One row, with type check on set value. (you get compile error if you change something in your table): 

ITableRow row = getTable().createRow();
getTable().getNameColumn().setValue(row, "Smith");
getTable().getFirstNameColumn().setValue(row, "John");
getTable().getAgeColumn().setValue(row, 42);
getTable().getBirthDateColumn().setValue(row, DateUtility.parse("14.12.1970", "dd.MM.yyyy"));
getTable().addRow(row, true);

The second parameter correspond to "mark as inserted". false (default value - if the parameter is omitted) the row will be insterted with a row Status: ITableRow.STATUS_NON_CHANGED. If true, the row will be inserted with the status ITableRow.STATUS_INSERTED.

2: One row as Object[] array. 

getTable().addRowsByArray(
    new Object[]{"Johnny", "Mcgee", 26, DateUtility.parse("25.05.1986", "dd.MM.yyyy")}, 
    ITableRow.STATUS_INSERTED);

The second parameter indicate the status of the new row. ITableRow.STATUS_INSERTED is the default status (it could be omitted in this example).

3: Multiple rows as Object[][] array. 

getTable().addRowsByMatrix(new Object[][]{
    new Object[]{"Isabella", "Barton", 32, DateUtility.parse("21.01.1980", "dd.MM.yyyy")},
    new Object[]{"Dana", "Reyes", 56, DateUtility.parse("16.08.1956", "dd.MM.yyyy")}
}, ITableRow.STATUS_INSERTED);

The second parameter indicate the status of the new row. ITableRow.STATUS_INSERTED is the default status (it could be omitted in this example).

For method 2 and 3 you need to be ensure that the array elements order match with the order of your table columns.
