newIndex - new index to move the column

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if column or newIndex are not in the valid range

setColumnMargin

public void setColumnMargin(int newMargin)

Sets the column margin to newMargin. This method also posts a columnMarginChanged event to its listeners.

Specified by:

setColumnMargin in interface TableColumnModel

Parameters:

newMargin - the new margin width, in pixels

getColumnMargin(), getTotalColumnWidth()

getColumnCount

public int getColumnCount()

Returns the number of columns in the tableColumns array.

Specified by:

getColumnCount in interface TableColumnModel

Returns:

the number of columns in the tableColumns array

See Also:

getColumns()

getColumns

public Enumeration getColumns()

Returns an Enumeration of all the columns in the model.

Specified by:

getColumns in interface TableColumnModel

Returns:

an Enumeration of the columns in the model

getColumnIndex

public int getColumnIndex(Object identifier)

Returns the index of the first column in the tableColumns array whose identifier is equal to identifier, when compared using equals.

Specified by:

getColumnIndex in interface TableColumnModel

identifier - the identifier object

getColumn

public TableColumn getColumn(int columnIndex)

Returns the TableColumn object for the column at columnIndex.

Specified by:

getColumn in interface TableColumnModel

Parameters:

columnIndex - the index of the column desired

Returns:

the TableColumn object for the column at columnIndex

getColumnMargin

public int getColumnMargin()

Returns the width margin for TableColumn. The default columnMargin is 1.

Specified by:

getColumnMargin in interface TableColumnModel

Returns:

the maximum width for the TableColumn

See Also:

setColumnMargin(int)

getColumnIndexAtX

public int getColumnIndexAtX(int x)

Returns the index of the column that lies at position x, or -1 if no column covers this point. In keeping with Swing's separable model architecture, a TableColumnModel does not know how the table columns actually appear on screen. The visual presentation of the columns is the responsibility of the view/controller object using this model (typically JTable). The view/controller need not display the columns sequentially from left to right. For example, columns could be displayed from right to left to accomodate a locale preference or some columns might be hidden at the request of the user. Because the model does not know how the columns are laid out on screen, the given xPosition should not be considered to be a coordinate in 2D graphics space. Instead, it should be considered to be a width from the start of the first column in the model. If the column index for a given X coordinate in 2D space is required, JTable.columnAtPoint can be used instead.

Specified by:

getColumnIndexAtX in interface TableColumnModel

Parameters:

x - the horizontal location of interest

Returns:

the index of the column or -1 if no column is found

See Also:

JTable.columnAtPoint(java.awt.Point)

Specified by:

getTotalColumnWidth in interface TableColumnModel

newModel - the new selection model

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if newModel is null

See Also:

getSelectionModel()

getSelectionModel

public ListSelectionModel getSelectionModel()

ColumnModelListener[] cmls = (ColumnModelListener[])(m.getListeners(ColumnModelListener.class));

If no such listeners exist, this method returns an empty array.

Parameters:

listenerType - the type of listeners requested; this parameter should specify an interface that descends from java.util.EventListener

Returns:

an array of all objects registered as FooListeners on this model, or an empty array if no such listeners have been added

Throws:

ClassCastException - if listenerType doesn't specify a class or interface that implements java.util.EventListener
