EOTableColumnAssociation

Inherits from:
EOWidgetAssociation : EOAssociation : EODelayedObserver (EOControl) : Object

Implements:
NSDisposable
EOObserving (EOControl)

Package:

Class Description

An EOTableColumnAssociation associates a single attribute of all enterprise objects in its ValueAspect's EODisplayGroup with a Swing JTable TableColumn . The value of each object's attribute is displayed in its corresponding row.

By far the easiest way to configure EOTableColumnAssociations is in Interface Builder, but they may also be instantiated programmatically. Because Swing's TableColumn maintains no reference to its containing JTable, this relationship must be explicitly specified via setTable before establishConnection is invoked.

Usable With

javax.swing.table.TableColumn

Aspects
BoldAspect	Description forthcoming.
EnabledAspect	A boolean attribute of the objects, which determines whether each object's value cell is editable. Note that because EOTableViewAssociation also uses this aspect, you can use it with different keys to limit editability to the whole row or to an individual cell (column) in that row.
ItalicAspect	Description forthcoming.
ValueAspect	An attribute of the objects, displayed in each row of the TableColumn.

Constructors

EOTableColumnAssociation

Description forthcoming.

public EOTableColumnAssociation( Object object, Object table)

Description forthcoming.

Instance Methods

boldStateAtRow

public int boldStateAtRow(int rowIndex)

Description forthcoming.

dispose

public void dispose()

See the method description in the documentation for NSDisposable.

endEditing

public boolean endEditing()

Description forthcoming.

isEditableAtRow

public boolean isEditableAtRow(int rowIndex)

Returns whether or not the property bound to the receiver's ValueAspect is editable at row, as determined by the EnabledAspect. If this aspect is bound, a non-zero value at row indicates that the property may be edited. If the EnabledAspect is unbound all rows are considered editable.

italicStateAtRow

public int italicStateAtRow(int rowIndex)

Description forthcoming.

primaryAspect

public String primaryAspect()

Returns EOAssociation.ValueAspect.

setObject

public void setObject(Object anObject)

Description forthcoming.

setSortingSelector

public void setSortingSelector(NSSelector selector)

Description forthcoming.

setTable

public void setTable(Object table)

Because TableColumn maintains no reference to its containing JTable, the consumer must explicitly specify this relationship by invoking setTable before establishConnection. This method also assures that an instance of EOTableAssociation exists for table.
