public class CustomColumnFactory
extends ColumnFactory

A ColumnFactory is used by JXTable to create and configure all columns. It can be set per-application (before creating an JXTable) or per-table (before setting the model).

Additional features:

• changes the column titles to a more human readable form.
• support list of identifiers to exclude from column creation
• support list of identifiers to hide on column configuration
• support pluggable maximal rowCount to measure

Method Detail

addExcludeNames

public void addExcludeNames(java.lang.Object... names)

Parameters:

names - the identifiers to exclude.

addHiddenNames

public void addHiddenNames(java.lang.Object... names)

Parameters:

names - the identifiers to exclude.

setTitleStringValue

public void setTitleStringValue(StringValue sv)

Parameters:

sv - the StringValue to use for column header "beautification".

createAndConfigureTableColumn

public TableColumnExt createAndConfigureTableColumn(javax.swing.table.TableModel model,
                                                    int modelIndex)

Creates and configures a TableColumnExt. JXTable calls this method for each column in the TableModel.

Overridden to not create columns for the model columns which are listed in the excludes.

Overrides:

createAndConfigureTableColumn in class ColumnFactory

Parameters:

model - the TableModel to read configuration properties from

modelIndex - column index in model coordinates

Returns:

a TableColumnExt to use for the modelIndex

ColumnFactory.createTableColumn(int), ColumnFactory.configureTableColumn(TableModel, TableColumnExt), JXTable.createDefaultColumnsFromModel()

configureTableColumn

public void configureTableColumn(javax.swing.table.TableModel model,
                                 TableColumnExt columnExt)

Configure column properties from TableModel. This implementation sets the column's headerValue property from the model's columnName.

The factory's initial column configuration is passed through this method, so subclasses can override to customize.

Overridden to set the column's identifier, beautify the display title.

Overrides:

configureTableColumn in class ColumnFactory

Parameters:

model - the TableModel to read configuration properties from

columnExt - the TableColumnExt to configure.
