DataCellTable
DataCellTable<T> shows the rows of a model as a grid of cells rather than
as lines: one item per cell, so many per row. An index of album covers, a wall
of photographs, a month of days.
DataCellTable<Album> grid = new DataCellTable<>(new SimpleListModel<>(albums));
grid.setColumns(4);
grid.setContentRenderer((node, album) -> {
Div title = new Div("title");
node.add(title);
title.add(album.getTitle());
node.add(album.getArtist().getName());
});
cp.add(grid);
The API
| Method | What it does |
|---|---|
new DataCellTable<>(ITableModel<T>) |
the rows to show - the same models a DataTable takes |
setColumns(int) / setRows(int) |
the shape of the grid |
setContentRenderer(IRenderInto<T>) |
how one item is drawn; required |
setContentRendererClass(Class) |
the same as a class to instantiate |
setRenderEmptyCells(boolean) |
draw the cells that have no item, to keep the grid rectangular |
setRenderEmptyRows(boolean) |
the same for whole rows |
There is no RowRenderer and there are no columns: a cell is whatever the
content renderer puts in it.
Like a DataTable it is a pageable component, so a
DataPager works with it; the grid's own rows and
columns decide how many items a page holds.
