Constructor Detail

GridTableModel

public GridTableModel(ListModel items,
                      int cols)

Constructs a new GridTableModel.

Parameters:

items - a ListModel that represents the items

cols - the number of columns in the grid

Method Detail

getColumnCount

public int getColumnCount()

Description copied from interface: TableModel

Return the number of columns this table model has.

Specified by:

getColumnCount in interface TableModel

Returns:

the number of columns in the table model

nextRow

public boolean nextRow()

Description copied from interface: TableModel

Move to the next row and return true if the model is now positioned on a valid row. Initially, the table model is positioned before the first row. The table will call this method before it retrieves the data for the row with calls to getElementAt and getKeyAt.

If this method returns true, subsequent calls to getElementAt and getKeyAt have to succeed and return non-null objects. If this method returns false, the table assumes that it has traversed all the data contained in this model.

Specified by:

nextRow in interface TableModel

Returns:

true if the model is positioned on a valid row

getElementAt

public Object getElementAt(int columnIndex)

Description copied from interface: TableModel

Return the data element for the given column and the current row. The returned object will be passed to the table cell renderer as the value argument without modifications.

Specified by:

getElementAt in interface TableModel

Parameters:

columnIndex - the number of the column for which to get data

Returns:

the object to pass to the table cell renderer for display

getKeyAt

public Object getKeyAt(int columnIndex)

Description copied from interface: TableModel

Return the key for the given column and the current row. The key has to be unique for each row in the table model, but does not need to be unique for each row and column, though it may. The key is passed to the table cell renderer as the key argument.

Specified by:

getKeyAt in interface TableModel

Parameters:

columnIndex - the number of the column for which to get data

Returns:

the key for the given column and the current row.
