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 ( )

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

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 
)

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 
)

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.

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

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.
