Detailed Description

A table of widgets or other content.

This is the base class for table widgets.

To be useful it must be subclassed and several virtual functions defined. Normally applications use widgets derived from this widget, and do not use this widget directly; this widget is usually too low level to be used directly by applications.

This widget does not handle the data in the table. The draw_cell() method must be overridden by a subclass to manage drawing the contents of the cells.

This widget can be used in several ways:

  • As a custom widget; see examples/table-simple.cxx and test/table.cxx. Very optimal for even extremely large tables.
  • As a table made up of a single FLTK widget instanced all over the table, simulating a numeric spreadsheet. See examples/table-spreadsheet.cxx and examples/table-spreadsheet-with-keyboard-nav.cxx. Optimal for large tables.
  • As a regular container of FLTK widgets, one widget per cell. See examples/table-as-container.cxx. Not recommended for large tables.
table-simple.png
table-as-container.png

When acting as part of a custom widget, events on the cells and/or headings generate callbacks when they are clicked by the user. You control when events are generated based on the setting for Fl_Table::when().

When acting as a container for FLTK widgets, the FLTK widgets maintain themselves. Although the draw_cell() method must be overridden, its contents can be very simple. See the draw_cell() code in examples/table-simple.cxx.

The following variables are available to classes deriving from Fl_Table:

table-dimensions.png
x()/y()/w()/h()

Fl_Table widget's outer dimension. The outer edge of the border of the Fl_Table. (Red in the diagram above)

wix/wiy/wiw/wih

Fl_Table widget's inner dimension. The inner edge of the border of the Fl_Table. eg. if the Fl_Table's box() is FL_NO_BOX, these values are the same as x()/y()/w()/h(). (Yellow in the diagram above)

tox/toy/tow/toh

The table's outer dimension. The outer edge of the border around the cells, but inside the row/col headings and scrollbars. (Green in the diagram above)

tix/tiy/tiw/tih The table's inner dimension. The inner edge of the border around the cells, but inside the row/col headings and scrollbars. AKA the table's clip region. eg. if the table_box() is FL_NO_BOX, these values are the same as tox/toyy/tow/toh. (Blue in the diagram above)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Fl_Table::Fl_Table ( int  X,
int  Y,

int  H,
const char *  l = 0 
)

The constructor for the Fl_Table.

This creates an empty table with no rows or columns, with headers and row/column resize behavior disabled.

Fl_Table::~Fl_Table ( )

The destructor for the Fl_Table.

Destroys the table and its associated widgets.


Member Function Documentation

void Fl_Table::begin ( ) [inline]

Sets the current group so you can build the widget tree by just constructing the widgets.

begin() is automatically called by the constructor for Fl_Group (and thus for Fl_Window as well). begin() is exactly the same as current(this). Don't forget to end() the group or window!

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

void Fl_Table::callback ( Fl_Widget ,
void *   
)

Callbacks will be called depending on the setting of Fl_Widget::when().

Callback functions should use the following functions to determine the context/row/column:

Fl_Table::callback_row() returns current row Fl_Table::callback_col() returns current column Fl_Table::callback_context() returns current table context

callback_row() and callback_col() will be set to the row and column number the event occurred on. If someone clicked on a row header, col will be 0. If someone clicked on a column header, row will be 0.

callback_context() will return one of the following:

Fl_Table::CONTEXT_ROW_HEADER Someone clicked on a row header. Excludes resizing.
Fl_Table::CONTEXT_COL_HEADER Someone clicked on a column header. Excludes resizing.
Fl_Table::CONTEXT_CELL

Someone clicked on a cell.

To receive callbacks for FL_RELEASE events, you must set when(FL_WHEN_RELEASE).

Fl_Table::CONTEXT_RC_RESIZE

Someone is resizing rows/columns either interactively, or via the col_width() or row_height() API.

Use is_interactive_resize() to determine interactive resizing.

If resizing a column, R=0 and C=column being resized.

If resizing a row, C=0 and R=row being resized.

NOTE: To receive resize events, you must set when(FL_WHEN_CHANGED).

   class MyTable : public Fl_Table {
     [..]
   private:
     // Handle events that happen on the table
     void event_callback2() {
       int R = callback_row(),                         // row where event occurred
       C = callback_col();                             // column where event occurred
       TableContext context = callback_context();      // which part of table
       fprintf(stderr, "callback: Row=%d Col=%d Context=%d Event=%d\n",
               R, C, (int)context, (int)Fl::event());
     }
   
     // Actual static callback
     static void event_callback(Fl_Widget*, void* data) {
       MyTable *o = (MyTable*)data;
       o-&gt;event_callback2();
     }
     
   public:
     // Constructor
     MyTable() {
       [..]
       table.callback(&event_callback, (void*)this);   // setup callback
       table.when(FL_WHEN_CHANGED|FL_WHEN_RELEASE);    // when to call it
     }
   };
int Fl_Table::callback_col ( ) [inline]

Returns the current column the event occurred on.

This function should only be used from within the user's callback function

TableContext Fl_Table::callback_context ( ) [inline]

Returns the current 'table context'.

This function should only be used from within the user's callback function

int Fl_Table::callback_row ( ) [inline]

Returns the current row the event occurred on.

This function should only be used from within the user's callback function

Fl_Widget* Fl_Table::child ( int  n) const [inline]

Returns the child widget by an index.

When using the Fl_Table as a container for FLTK widgets, this method returns the widget pointer from the internal array of widgets in the container.

Typically used in loops, eg:

   for ( int i=0; i<children(); i++ ) {
     Fl_Widget *w = child(i);
     [..]
   }

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

int Fl_Table::children ( ) const [inline]

Returns the number of children in the table.

When using the Fl_Table as a container for FLTK widgets, this method returns how many child widgets the table has.

See also:
child(int)

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

virtual void Fl_Table::clear ( ) [inline, virtual]

Clears the table to zero rows, zero columns.

Same as rows(0); cols(0);

See also:
rows(int), cols(int)

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

Reimplemented in Fl_Table_Row.

void Fl_Table::col_header ( int  flag) [inline]

Enable or disable column headers.

If changed, the table is redrawn.

void Fl_Table::col_resize ( int  flag) [inline]

Allows/disallows column resizing by the user.

1=allow interactive resizing, 0=disallow interactive resizing. Since interactive resizing is done via the column headers, col_header() must also be enabled to allow resizing.

int Fl_Table::col_resize_min ( ) [inline]

Sets the current column minimum resize value.

This is used to prevent the user from interactively resizing any column to be smaller than 'pixels'. Must be a value >=1.

void Fl_Table::col_width ( int  col,
int  width 
)

Sets the width of the specified column in pixels, and the table is redrawn.

callback() will be invoked with CONTEXT_RC_RESIZE if the column's width was actually changed, and when() is FL_WHEN_CHANGED.

void Fl_Table::col_width_all ( int  width) [inline]

Convenience method to set the width of all columns to the same value, in pixels.

The screen is redrawn.

void Fl_Table::draw ( void  ) [virtual]

Draws the widget.

Never call this function directly. FLTK will schedule redrawing whenever needed. If your widget must be redrawn as soon as possible, call redraw() instead.

Override this function to draw your own widgets.

If you ever need to call another widget's draw method from within your own draw() method, e.g. for an embedded scrollbar, you can do it (because draw() is virtual) like this:

        Fl_Widget *s = &scroll;         // scroll is an embedded Fl_Scrollbar
        s->draw();                      // calls Fl_Scrollbar::draw()

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

virtual void Fl_Table::draw_cell ( TableContext  context,
int  R = 0,
int  C = 0,
int  X = 0,
int  Y = 0,
int  W = 0,
int  H = 0 
) [inline, protected, virtual]

Subclass should override this method to handle drawing the cells.

This method will be called whenever the table is redrawn, once per cell.

Only cells that are completely (or partially) visible will be told to draw.

context will be one of the following:

Fl_Table::CONTEXT_STARTPAGE

When table, or parts of the table, are about to be redrawn.
Use to initialize static data, such as font selections.

R/C will be zero,
X/Y/W/H will be the dimensions of the table's entire data area.
(Useful for locking a database before accessing; see also visible_cells())

Fl_Table::CONTEXT_ENDPAGE When table has completed being redrawn.
R/C will be zero, X/Y/W/H dimensions of table's data area.
(Useful for unlocking a database after accessing)
Fl_Table::CONTEXT_ROW_HEADER Whenever a row header cell needs to be drawn.
R will be the row number of the header being redrawn,
C will be zero,
X/Y/W/H will be the fltk drawing area of the row header in the window
Fl_Table::CONTEXT_COL_HEADER Whenever a column header cell needs to be drawn.
R will be zero,
C will be the column number of the header being redrawn,
X/Y/W/H will be the fltk drawing area of the column header in the window
Fl_Table::CONTEXT_CELL Whenever a data cell in the table needs to be drawn.
R/C will be the row/column of the cell to be drawn,
X/Y/W/H will be the fltk drawing area of the cell in the window
Fl_Table::CONTEXT_RC_RESIZE

Whenever table or row/column is resized or scrolled, either interactively or via col_width() or row_height().
R/C/X/Y/W/H will all be zero.

Useful for fltk containers that need to resize or move the child fltk widgets.

row and col will be set to the row and column number of the cell being drawn. In the case of row headers, col will be 0. In the case of column headers, row will be 0.

x/y/w/h will be the position and dimensions of where the cell should be drawn.

In the case of custom widgets, a minimal draw_cell() override might look like the following. With custom widgets it is up to the caller to handle drawing everything within the dimensions of the cell, including handling the selection color. Note all clipping must be handled as well; this allows drawing outside the dimensions of the cell if so desired for 'custom effects'.

   // This is called whenever Fl_Table wants you to draw a cell
   void MyTable::draw_cell(TableContext context, int R=0, int C=0, int X=0, int Y=0, int W=0, int H=0) {
       static char s[40];
       sprintf(s, "%d/%d", R, C);              // text for each cell
       switch ( context ) {
           case CONTEXT_STARTPAGE:             // Fl_Table telling us its starting to draw page
               fl_font(FL_HELVETICA, 16);
               return;
       
           case CONTEXT_ROW_HEADER:            // Fl_Table telling us it's draw row/col headers
           case CONTEXT_COL_HEADER:
               fl_push_clip(X, Y, W, H);
               {
                   fl_draw_box(FL_THIN_UP_BOX, X, Y, W, H, color());
                   fl_color(FL_BLACK);
                   fl_draw(s, X, Y, W, H, FL_ALIGN_CENTER);
               }
               fl_pop_clip();
               return;
           
           case CONTEXT_CELL:                  // Fl_Table telling us to draw cells
               fl_push_clip(X, Y, W, H);
               {
                   // BG COLOR
                   fl_color( row_selected(R) ? selection_color() : FL_WHITE);
                   fl_rectf(X, Y, W, H);
                   
                   // TEXT
                   fl_color(FL_BLACK);
                   fl_draw(s, X, Y, W, H, FL_ALIGN_CENTER);
                   
                   // BORDER
                   fl_color(FL_LIGHT2);
                   fl_rect(X, Y, W, H);

       default:
           return;
       }
       //NOTREACHED
   }
void Fl_Table::end ( ) [inline]

Exactly the same as current(this->parent()).

Any new widgets added to the widget tree will be added to the parent of the group.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

int Fl_Table::find ( const Fl_Widget o) const [inline]

Searches the child array for the widget and returns the index.

Returns children() if the widget is NULL or not found.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

void Fl_Table::get_selection ( int &  row_top,
int &  col_left,
int &  row_bot,
int &  col_right 
)

Gets the region of cells selected (highlighted).

Parameters:
[in]row_topReturns the top row of selection area
[in]col_leftReturns the left column of selection area
[in]row_botReturns the bottom row of selection area
[in]col_rightReturns the right column of selection area
int Fl_Table::handle ( int  event) [protected, virtual]

Handles the specified event.

You normally don't call this method directly, but instead let FLTK do it when the user interacts with the widget.

When implemented in a widget, this function must return 0 if the widget does not use the event or 1 otherwise.

Most of the time, you want to call the inherited handle() method in your overridden method so that you don't short-circuit events that you don't handle. In this last case you should return the callee retval.

Parameters:
[in]eventthe kind of event received
Return values:
0if the event was not used or understood
1if the event was used and can be deleted
See also:
Fl_Event

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

Reimplemented in Fl_Table_Row.

void Fl_Table::init_sizes ( ) [inline]

Resets the internal array of widget sizes and positions.

The Fl_Group widget keeps track of the original widget sizes and positions when resizing occurs so that if you resize a window back to its original size the widgets will be in the correct places. If you rearrange the widgets in your group, call this method to register the new arrangement with the Fl_Group that contains them.

If you add or remove widgets, this will be done automatically.

Note:
The internal array of widget sizes and positions will be allocated and filled when the next resize() occurs.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

void Fl_Table::insert ( Fl_Widget o,
int  index 
) [inline]

The widget is removed from its current group (if any) and then inserted into this group.

It is put at index n - or at the end, if n >= children(). This can also be used to rearrange the widgets inside a group.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

void Fl_Table::insert ( Fl_Widget o,
Fl_Widget before 
) [inline]

This does insert(w, find(before)).

This will append the widget if before is not in the group.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

int Fl_Table::is_interactive_resize ( ) [inline]

Returns 1 if someone is interactively resizing a row or column.

You can currently call this only from within your callback().

int Fl_Table::is_selected ( int  r,
int  c 
)

See if the cell at row r and column c is selected.

Returns:
1 if the cell is selected, 0 if not.
void Fl_Table::remove ( Fl_Widget o) [inline]

Removes a widget from the group but does not delete it.

This method does nothing if the widget is not a child of the group.

This method differs from the clear() method in that it only affects a single widget and does not delete it from memory.

Note:
If you have the child's index anyway, use remove(int index) instead, because this doesn't need a child lookup in the group's table of children. This can be much faster, if there are lots of children.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

void Fl_Table::row_header ( int  flag) [inline]

Enables/disables showing the row headers.

1=enabled, 0=disabled. If changed, the table is redrawn.

void Fl_Table::row_height ( int  row,
int  height 
)

Sets the height of the specified row in pixels, and the table is redrawn.

callback() will be invoked with CONTEXT_RC_RESIZE if the row's height was actually changed, and when() is FL_WHEN_CHANGED.

void Fl_Table::row_height_all ( int  height) [inline]

Convenience method to set the height of all rows to the same value, in pixels.

The screen is redrawn.

void Fl_Table::row_resize ( int  flag) [inline]

Allows/disallows row resizing by the user.

1=allow interactive resizing, 0=disallow interactive resizing. Since interactive resizing is done via the row headers, row_header() must also be enabled to allow resizing.

void Fl_Table::row_resize_min ( int  val) [inline]

Sets the current row minimum resize value.

This is used to prevent the user from interactively resizing any row to be smaller than 'pixels'. Must be a value >=1.

void Fl_Table::set_selection ( int  row_top,
int  col_left,
int  row_bot,
int  col_right 
)

Sets the region of cells to be selected (highlighted).

So for instance, set_selection(0,0,0,0) selects the top/left cell in the table. And set_selection(0,0,1,1) selects the four cells in rows 0 and 1, column 0 and 1.

Parameters:
[in]row_topTop row of selection area
[in]col_leftLeft column of selection area
[in]row_botBottom row of selection area
[in]col_rightRight column of selection area
void Fl_Table::table_box ( Fl_Boxtype  val) [inline]

Sets the kind of box drawn around the data table, the default being FL_NO_BOX.

Changing this value will cause the table to redraw.

void Fl_Table::top_row ( int  row) [inline]

Sets which row should be at the top of the table, scrolling as necessary, and the table is redrawn.

If the table cannot be scrolled that far, it is scrolled as far as possible.

int Fl_Table::top_row ( ) [inline]

Returns the current top row shown in the table.

This row may be partially obscured.

void Fl_Table::visible_cells ( int &  r1,
int &  r2,
int &  c1,
int &  c2 
) [inline]

Returns the range of row and column numbers for all visible and partially visible cells in the table.

These values can be used e.g. by your draw_cell() routine during CONTEXT_STARTPAGE to figure out what cells are about to be redrawn for the purposes of locking the data from a database before it's drawn.

          leftcol             rightcol
             :                   :
   toprow .. .-------------------.
             |                   |
             |  V I S I B L E    |
             |                   |
             |    T A B L E      |
             |                   |
   botrow .. '-------------------`

e.g. in a table where the visible rows are 5-20, and the visible columns are 100-120, then those variables would be:

  • toprow = 5
  • botrow = 20
  • leftcol = 100
  • rightcol = 120
void Fl_Table::when ( Fl_When  flags)

The Fl_Widget::when() function is used to set a group of flags, determining when the widget callback is called:

FL_WHEN_CHANGED callback() will be called when rows or columns are resized (interactively or via col_width() or row_height()), passing CONTEXT_RC_RESIZE via callback_context().
FL_WHEN_RELEASE callback() will be called during FL_RELEASE events, such as when someone releases a mouse button somewhere on the table.

The callback() routine is sent a TableContext that indicates the context the event occurred in, such as in a cell, in a header, or elsewhere on the table. When an event occurs in a cell or header, callback_row() and callback_col() can be used to determine the row and column. The callback can also look at the regular fltk event values (ie. Fl::event() and Fl::button()) to determine what kind of event is occurring.
