/**
* An extension of TableColumnModel suitable for use with
* JXTable. It extends the notion of columns considered as part
* of the view realm to include invisible columns. Conceptually, there are
* several sets of "columns":
*
*
* - model columns: all columns of a
TableModel. They are but
* a virtual concept, characterizable f.i. by (model) column index, (model)
* column name.
* - view columns: all
TableColumnExt objects added to the
* TableColumnModelExt, each typically created and configured in
* relation to a model column. These can be regarded as a kind of subset of the
* model columns (not literally, obviously). Each view column belongs to exactly
* one of the following (real) subsets:
*
* - visible columns: all view columns with the visibility property enabled
*
- hidden columns: all view columns with the visibility property disabled
*
*
*
* This class manages the view columns and automatically takes care of keeping
* track of their location in the visible/hidden subset, triggering the
* corresponding changes in interested views. Typically, a view column's
* visibility can be toggled by user interaction, f.i. via a ColumnControlButton.
*
* An example to programmatically hide
* the first visible column in the column model:
*
*
* TableColumnExt columnExt = columnModel.getColumnExt(0);
* if (columnExt != null) {
* columnExt.setVisible(false);
* }
*
*
* Note that it is principally allowed to add standard TableColumns.
* Practically, it doesn't make much sense to do so - they will always be
* visible.
*
*
* While individual visible columns can be requested by both column identifier
* and column index, the latter is not available for hidden columns. An example
* to programmatically guarantee that the view column which corresponds to the
* first column in the associated TableModel.
*
*
* List<TableColumn> columns = colModel.getColumns(true);
* for (TableColumn column : columns) {
* if (column.getModelIndex() == 0) {
* if (column instanceof TableColumnExt) {
* ((TableColumnExt) column).setVisible(false);
* }
* return;
* }
* }
*
*
* Alternatively, the column could be requested directly by identifier. By
* default the column's headerValue is returned as identifier, if none is set.
*
*
* Object identifier = tableModel.getColumnName(0);
* TableColumnExt columnExt = columnModel.getColumnExt(identifier);
* if (columnExt != null) {
* columnExt.setVisible(false);
* }
*
*
* Relying on default identifiers is inherently brittle (headerValues might
* change f.i. with Locales), so explicit configuration of columns with
* identifiers is strongly recommended. A custom ColumnFactory
* helps to automate column configuration.
*
*
*
* This class guarantees to notify registered
* TableColumnModelListeners of type
* TableColumnModelExtListener about propertyChanges fired by
* contained TableColumns.
* An example of a client which adjusts itself based on
* headerValue property of visible columns:
*
* TableColumnModelExtListener l = new TableColumnModelExtListener() {
*
* public void columnPropertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent event) {
* if ("headerValue".equals(event.getPropertyName())) {
* TableColumn column = (TableColumn) event.getSource();
* if ((column instanceof TableColumnExt)
* && !((TableColumnExt) column).isVisible()) {
* return;
* }
* resizeAndRepaint();
* }
* }
*
* public void columnAdded(TableColumnModelEvent e) {
* }
*
* public void columnMarginChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
* }
*
* public void columnMoved(TableColumnModelEvent e) {
* }
*
* public void columnRemoved(TableColumnModelEvent e) {
* }
*
* public void columnSelectionChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
* }
*
* };
* columnModel.addColumnModelListener(l);
