Detailed Description

Data entry/representation with rows and columns.

Types and methods for organizing and displaying tabular data.

Tables follow the concept of separation of concerns, similar to common patterns like model-view-controller or model-view-adapter.

They consist of three main components:

uiTableModel acts as a delegate for the underlying data store. Its purpose is to provide the data for views and inform about any updates.
uiTable represents the view. Its purpose is to display the data provided by the model as well as provide an interface to the user to modify data.
uiTableModelHandler takes on the role of controller and model. It provides the actual data while also handling data edits.

To get started:

Implement all of the methods defined in uiTableModelHandler. This involves defining columns, their data types as well as getters and setters for each table cell.
Wrap the uiTableModelHandler from step 1 in a uiTableModel object.
Create a new uiTable using the model created in step 2. Start adding columns to your table. Each table column is backed by one or more model columns.

You can create multiple differing views (uiTable) using the same uiTableModel.

Enumeration Type Documentation

Sort indicators.

Generic sort indicators to display sorting direction.

uiSortIndicatorNone
uiSortIndicatorAscending

Table selection modes.

Table selection that enforce how a user can interact with a table.

Warning: An empty table selection is a valid state for any selection mode. This is in fact the default upon table creation and can otherwise triggered through operations such as row deletion.

Enumerator
uiTableSelectionModeNone	Allow no row selection. Warning This mode disables all editing of text columns. Buttons and checkboxes keep working though.
uiTableSelectionModeZeroOrOne	Allow zero or one row to be selected.
uiTableSelectionModeOne	Allow for exactly one row to be selected.
uiTableSelectionModeZeroOrMany	Allow zero or many (multiple) rows to be selected.
