Enclosing class:

JTableBinding<E,SS,TS>

public final class JTableBinding.ColumnBinding
extends AbstractColumnBinding

ColumnBinding represents a binding between a property of the elements in the JTableBinding's source List, and a column in the table. Each ColumnBinding added to a JTableBinding represents a column to be displayed by the JTable. A value for any given row in a column is aquired by fetching the value of the associated ColumnBinding's source property for the element in the source List representing that row.

A Converter may be specified on a ColumnBinding, as may be a Validator. Validation occurs at the time a cell value is to be committed back to the source List.

BindingListeners registered on a ColumnBinding are notified of successful sync or syncFailure. These notifications are also sent to the JTableBinding's BindingListeners.

ColumnBindings are managed by their JTableBinding. They are not to be explicitly bound, unbound, added to a BindingGroup, or accessed in a way that is not allowed for a managed binding.

Method Detail

setColumnName

public JTableBinding.ColumnBinding setColumnName(java.lang.String name)

Sets a name for the column represented by this ColumnBinding. This is used to initialize the table's column header name. If null is specified, the toString() value of the ColumnBinding's source property is used.

Parameters:

name - the name

Returns:

the ColumnBinding itself, to allow for method chaining

See Also:

TableModel.getColumnName(int)

setColumnClass

public JTableBinding.ColumnBinding setColumnClass(java.lang.Class<?> columnClass)

Sets the column class to be used by JTable to determine the renderer and editor for the column represented by this ColumnBinding.

Parameters:

columnClass - the column class

Returns:

the ColumnBinding itself, to allow for method chaining

See Also:

TableModel.getColumnClass(int)

getColumnClass

public java.lang.Class<?> getColumnClass()

Returns the column class to be used by JTable to determine the renderer and editor for the column represented by this ColumnBinding.

See Also:

setColumnClass(java.lang.Class), TableModel.getColumnClass(int)

getColumnName

public java.lang.String getColumnName()

Returns the name for the column represented by this ColumnBinding. This is used to initialize the table's column header name. If no name has been specified, or if it has been set to null, the toString() value of the ColumnBinding's source property is returned.

Returns:

the name for the column

See Also:

setColumnName(java.lang.String), TableModel.getColumnName(int)

setEditable

public JTableBinding.ColumnBinding setEditable(boolean editable)

Sets whether or not the cells of the column should be editable. The default for this property is true. See this paragraph in the class level documentation on editability.

Parameters:

editable - whether or not the cells of the column should be editable

Returns:

the ColumnBinding itself, to allow for method chaining

isEditable

public boolean isEditable()

Returns whether or not the cells of the column should be editable. The default for this property is true. See this paragraph in the class level documentation on editability.

Returns:

whether or not the cells of the column should be editable
