Detailed Description

A container widget which provides layout of children in a table grid.

A WTable arranges its children in a table.

To insert or access contents, use elementAt(int row, int column) to access the cell at a particular location in the table. The WTable expands automatically to create the indexed (row, column) as necessary.

It is possible to insert and delete entire rows or columns from the table using the insertColumn(int column), insertRow(int row), deleteColumn(int column), or deleteRow(int row) methods.

You may indicate a number of rows and columns that act as headers using setHeaderCount(). Header cells are rendered as <th> instead of <td> elements. By default, no rows or columns are configured as headers.

WTable is displayed as a block.

Usage example:

Wt::WTable *table = new Wt::WTable(this);
table->elementAt(0, 0)->addWidget(new Wt::WText("Item @ row 0, column 0"));
table->elementAt(0, 1)->addWidget(new Wt::WText("Item @ row 0, column 1"));
table->elementAt(1, 0)->addWidget(new Wt::WText("Item @ row 1, column 0"));
table->elementAt(1, 1)->addWidget(new Wt::WText("Item @ row 1, column 1"));

Wt::WTableCell *cell = table->elementAt(2, 0);
cell->addWidget(new Wt::WText("Item @ row 2"));
cell->setColumnSpan(2);

CSS

The widget corresponds to the HTML <table> tag and does not provide styling. It can be styled using inline or external CSS as appropriate.

Member Function Documentation

void Wt::WTable::clear ( )

virtual

Clears the entire table.

This method clears the entire table: all cells and their contents are deleted.

WTableColumn * Wt::WTable::columnAt

(

int

column

)

Returns the column object for the given column.

Like with elementAt(), the table expands automatically when the column is beyond the current table dimensions.

See also

elementAt(int, int), rowAt(int)

WTableCell * Wt::WTable::createCell ( int  row, int  column  )

protectedvirtual

Creates a table cell.

You may want to override this method if you want your table to contain specialized cells.

WTableColumn * Wt::WTable::createColumn ( int  column )

protectedvirtual

Creates a table column.

You may want to override this method if you want your table to contain specialized columns.

WTableRow * Wt::WTable::createRow ( int  row )

protectedvirtual

Creates a table row.

You may want to override this method if you want your table to contain specialized rows.

void Wt::WTable::deleteRow ( int  row )

virtual

Deletes a row and all its contents.

Rows below the given row are shifted up.

WTableCell * Wt::WTable::elementAt	(	int	row,
		int	column
	)

Accesses the table element at the given row and column.

If the row/column is beyond the current table dimensions, then the table is expanded automatically.

int Wt::WTable::headerCount

(

Orientation

orientation = Horizontal

)

Returns the number of header rows or columns.

See also

setHeaderCount()

void Wt::WTable::moveColumn ( int  from, int  to  )

virtual

Move a table column from its original position to a new position.

The table expands automatically when the to column is beyond the current table dimensions.

See also

moveRow()

void Wt::WTable::moveRow ( int  from, int  to  )

virtual

Move a table row from its original position to a new position.

The table expands automatically when the to row is beyond the current table dimensions.

See also

moveColumn()

void Wt::WTable::removeCell

(

WTableCell *

item

)

Deletes a table cell and its contents.

The table cell at that position is recreated.

See also

removeCell(int int)

void Wt::WTable::removeCell ( int  row, int  column  )

virtual

Deletes the table cell at the given position.

See also

removeCell(WTableCell *)

WTableRow * Wt::WTable::rowAt

(

int

row

)

Returns the row object for the given row.

Like with elementAt(), the table expands automatically when the row is beyond the current table dimensions.

See also

elementAt(int, int), columnAt(int)

void Wt::WTable::setHeaderCount	(	int	count,
		Orientation	orientation = Horizontal
	)

Sets the number of header rows or columns.

The default values are 0.

Note

This must be set before the initial rendering and cannot be changed later.
