Class SpreadsheetColumn

java.lang.Object
org.controlsfx.control.spreadsheet.SpreadsheetColumn
public final class SpreadsheetColumn extends Object
A SpreadsheetView is made up of a number of SpreadsheetColumn instances.

Configuration

SpreadsheetColumns are instantiated by the SpreadsheetView itself, so there is no public constructor for this class. To access the available columns, you need to call SpreadsheetView.getColumns().

SpreadsheetColumn gives you the ability to modify some aspects of the column, for example the width or resizability of the column.

You have the ability to freeze this column at the left of the SpreadsheetView by calling setFixed(boolean). But you are strongly advised to check if it is possible with isColumnFixable() before calling setFixed(boolean). Take a look at the SpreadsheetView description to understand the freezing constraints.

If the column can be frozen, a ContextMenu will appear if the user right-clicks on it. If not, nothing will appear and the user will not have the possibility to freeze it.

Screenshot

The column A is frozen and is covering column B and partially column C. The context menu is being shown and offers the possibility to unfreeze the column.

      public boolean isFixed()
      Return whether this column is frozen or not.
      Returns:
      true if this column is frozen.

    • setFixed

      public void setFixed(boolean fixed)
      Freeze this column to the left if possible, although it is recommended that you call isColumnFixable() before trying to freeze a column. If you want to freeze several columns (because of a span for example), add all the columns directly in SpreadsheetView.getFixedColumns(). Always use SpreadsheetView.areSpreadsheetColumnsFixable(java.util.List) before.
      Parameters:
      fixed -

    • setPrefWidth

      public void setPrefWidth(double width)
      Set the width of this column.
      Parameters:
      width -

      public double getWidth()
      Return the actual width of the column.

      Parameters:
      value -

      Parameters:
      b -

      If the column is resizable, it will compute the optimum width for all the visible cells to be visible.

    • isColumnFixable

      public boolean isColumnFixable()
      Indicate whether this column can be frozen or not. Call that method before calling setFixed(boolean) or adding an item to SpreadsheetView.getFixedColumns(). A column cannot be frozen alone if any cell inside the column has a column span superior to one.
