Constructor Detail

TreeColumn

public TreeColumn(Tree parent,
                  int style)
Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent (which must be a Tree) and a style value describing its behavior and appearance. The item is added to the end of the items maintained by its parent.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:
parent - a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)
style - the style of control to construct
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
  • ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass
See Also:
SWT.LEFT, SWT.RIGHT, SWT.CENTER, Widget.checkSubclass(), Widget.getStyle()

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:

addSelectionListener

public void addSelectionListener(SelectionListener listener)
Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when the control is selected by the user, by sending it one of the messages defined in the SelectionListener interface.

widgetSelected is called when the column header is selected. widgetDefaultSelected is not called.

dispose

public void dispose()
Description copied from class: Widget
Disposes of the operating system resources associated with the receiver and all its descendents. After this method has been invoked, the receiver and all descendents will answer true when sent the message isDisposed(). Any internal connections between the widgets in the tree will have been removed to facilitate garbage collection.

NOTE: This method is not called recursively on the descendents of the receiver. This means that, widget implementers can not detect when a widget is being disposed of by re-implementing this method, but should instead listen for the Dispose event.

Overrides:
