Introducing JClass LiveTable
JClass LiveTable is a Java GUI component that displays rows and columns of user-interactive text, images, hypertext links, and other Java components in a scrollable window.
JClass LiveTable may be used in conjunction with Quest Software's JClass Field, in that a Field component may be added to a JClass LiveTable cell.
All JClass LiveTable components are written entirely in Java; as long as the Java implementation for a particular platform works, JClass LiveTable will work.
You can freely distribute Java applets and applications containing JClass components according to the terms of the License Agreement.
Feature Overview
You can set the properties of JClass LiveTable components to determine how the table will look and behave. You can control:
- The data source for the table.
- Preset and custom cell editing and display behavior for all types of data.
- Labels for columns and rows.
- Colors, fonts, borders (including custom borders), alignment, and spacing for cells and labels.
- Row and column dragging.
- Column sorting.
- Adding, deleting, moving, and dragging rows and columns.
- Scrolling and attaching default or custom scrollbars.
- Cell selection and traversal.
Assumptions
This manual assumes that you have some experience with the Java programming language. You should have a basic understanding of object-oriented programming and Java programming concepts such as classes, methods, and packages before proceeding with this manual. See Related Documents later in this section of the manual for additional sources of Java-related information.
