Constructor Detail

TreeColumn

public TreeColumn(
Tree parent,
                  int style)
Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent (which must be a Tree) and a style value describing its behavior and appearance. The item is added to the end of the items maintained by its parent.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:
parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)
style - the style of control to construct
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
  • ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass
See Also:
SWT.LEFT, SWT.RIGHT, SWT.CENTER, Widget.checkSubclass(), Widget.getStyle()

TreeColumn

public TreeColumn(
Tree parent,
                  int style,
                  int index)
Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent (which must be a Tree), a style value describing its behavior and appearance, and the index at which to place it in the items maintained by its parent.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:
parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)
style - the style of control to construct
index - the zero-relative index to store the receiver in its parent
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
  • ERROR_INVALID_RANGE - if the index is not between 0 and the number of elements in the parent (inclusive)
SWTException -
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
  • ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass

SWT.LEFT, SWT.RIGHT, SWT.CENTER, Widget.checkSubclass(), Widget.getStyle()
Method Detail

addControlListener

public void addControlListener(
ControlListener listener)
Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when the control is moved or resized, by sending it one of the messages defined in the ControlListener interface.

Parameters:
listener - the listener which should be notified
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
See Also:
ControlListener, removeControlListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.ControlListener)

addSelectionListener

public void addSelectionListener(
SelectionListener listener)
Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when the control is selected by the user, by sending it one of the messages defined in the SelectionListener interface.

widgetSelected is called when the column header is selected. widgetDefaultSelected is not called.

Parameters:
listener - the listener which should be notified when the control is selected by the user
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
See Also:
SelectionListener, removeSelectionListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionListener), SelectionEvent

dispose

public void dispose()
Description copied from class: Widget
Disposes of the operating system resources associated with the receiver and all its descendents. After this method has been invoked, the receiver and all descendents will answer true when sent the message isDisposed(). Any internal connections between the widgets in the tree will have been removed to facilitate garbage collection.

NOTE: This method is not called recursively on the descendents of the receiver. This means that, widget implementers can not detect when a widget is being disposed of by re-implementing this method, but should instead listen for the Dispose event.

Overrides:
dispose in class Widget
See Also:
Widget.addDisposeListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.DisposeListener), Widget.removeDisposeListener(org.eclipse.swt.events.DisposeListener), Widget.checkWidget()

getAlignment

public int getAlignment()
Returns a value which describes the position of the text or image in the receiver. The value will be one of LEFT, RIGHT or CENTER.

Returns:
the alignment
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

getMoveable

public boolean getMoveable()
Gets the moveable attribute. A column that is not moveable cannot be reordered by the user by dragging the header but may be reordered by the programmer.

Returns:
the moveable attribute
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

Tree.getColumnOrder(), Tree.setColumnOrder(int[]), setMoveable(boolean), SWT.Move

getParent

public 
Tree getParent()
Returns the receiver's parent, which must be a Tree.

Returns:

public boolean getResizable()
Gets the resizable attribute. A column that is not resizable cannot be dragged by the user but may be resized by the programmer.

Returns:
the resizable attribute
Throws:
