Class TablePosition<S,T>

java.lang.Object

javafx.scene.control.TablePositionBase<TableColumn<S,T>>

javafx.scene.control.TablePosition<S,T>

Type Parameters:: S - The type of the items contained within the TableView (i.e. the same generic type as the S in TableView<S>).; T - The type of the items contained within the TableColumn.

public class TablePosition<S,T>
extends TablePositionBase<TableColumn<S,T>>

This class is used to represent a single row/column/cell in a TableView. This is used throughout the TableView API to represent which rows/columns/cells are currently selected, focused, being edited, etc. Note that this class is immutable once it is created.

Because the TableView can have different selection modes, the row and column properties in TablePosition can be 'disabled' to represent an entire row or column. This is done by setting the unrequired property to -1 or null.

Since:: JavaFX 2.0

TablePosition

public TablePosition(TableView<S> tableView, int row, TableColumn<S,T> tableColumn)

Constructs a TablePosition instance to represent the given row/column position in the given TableView instance. Both the TableView and TableColumn are referenced weakly in this class, so it is possible that they will be null when their respective getters are called.

Method Details

getColumn

public int getColumn()

The column index that this TablePosition represents in the TableView. It is -1 if the TableView or TableColumn instances are null at the time the class is instantiated (i.e. it is computed at construction).

Specified by:: getColumn in class TablePositionBase<TableColumn<S,T>>
Returns:: the column index that this TablePosition represents in the TableView

getTableView

public final TableView<S> getTableView()

The TableView that this TablePosition is related to.

Returns:: the TableView
