public class Column
extends HeaderElement

A single column in a Columns element. Each child of the Column element is placed in each successive cell of the grid. The column with the most child elements determines the number of rows in each column.

The use of column is mainly to define attributes for each cell in the grid.

Default getZclass(): z-column. (since 3.5.0)

Method Detail

getGrid

public Grid getGrid()

Returns the grid that contains this column.

getSortDirection

public java.lang.String getSortDirection()

Returns the sort direction.

Default: "natural".

setSortDirection

public void setSortDirection(java.lang.String sortDir)
                      throws org.zkoss.zk.ui.WrongValueException

Sets the sort direction. This does not sort the data, it only serves as an indicator as to how the grid is sorted. (unless the grid has "autosort" attribute)

If you use sort(boolean) to sort rows (Row), the sort direction is maintained automatically. If you want to sort it in customized way, you have to set the sort direction manually.

Parameters:

sortDir - one of "ascending", "descending" and "natural"

Throws:

org.zkoss.zk.ui.WrongValueException

setSort

public void setSort(java.lang.String type)
             throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException,
                    java.lang.InstantiationException,
                    java.lang.IllegalAccessException

Sets the type of the sorter. You might specify either "auto", "auto(FIELD_NAME1[,FIELD_NAME2] ...)"(since 3.5.3), "auto(number)" (since 5.0.6) or "none".

If "client" or "client(number)" is specified, the sort functionality will be done by Javascript at client without notifying to server, that is, the order of the component in the row is out of sync.

• "client" : it is treated by a string
• "client(number)" : it is treated by a number

Note: client sorting cannot work in model case. (since 5.0.0)

If "auto" is specified, setSortAscending(java.util.Comparator<?>) and/or setSortDescending(java.util.Comparator<?>) are called with RowComparator, if getSortDescending() and/or getSortAscending() are null. If you assigned a comparator to them, it won't be affected. The auto created comparator is case-insensitive.

If "auto(FIELD_NAME1, FIELD_NAME2, ...)" is specified, setSortAscending(java.util.Comparator<?>) and/or setSortDescending(java.util.Comparator<?>) are called with FieldComparator, if getSortDescending() and/or getSortAscending() are null. If you assigned a comparator to them, it won't be affected. The auto created comparator is case-sensitive.

If "auto(LOWER(FIELD_NAME))" or "auto(UPPER(FIELD_NAME))" is specified, setSortAscending(java.util.Comparator<?>) and/or setSortDescending(java.util.Comparator<?>) are called with FieldComparator, if getSortDescending() and/or getSortAscending() are null. If you assigned a comparator to them, it won't be affected. The auto created comparator is case-insensitive.

If "auto(number)" is specified, setSortAscending(java.util.Comparator<?>) and/or setSortDescending(java.util.Comparator<?>) are called with ArrayComparator. Notice that the data must be an array and the number-th element must be comparable (Comparable).

If "none" is specified, both setSortAscending(java.util.Comparator<?>) and setSortDescending(java.util.Comparator<?>) are called with null. Therefore, no more sorting is available to users for this column.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException

java.lang.InstantiationException

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Since:

3.5.3

getSortAscending

public java.util.Comparator<?> getSortAscending()

Returns the ascending sorter, or null if not available.

setSortAscending

public void setSortAscending(java.util.Comparator<?> sorter)

Sets the ascending sorter, or null for no sorter for the ascending order.

Parameters:

sorter - the comparator used to sort the ascending order. If you are using the group feature, you can pass an instance of GroupComparator to have a better control. If an instance of GroupComparator is passed, GroupComparator.compareGroup(D, D) is used to group elements, and Comparator.compare(T, T) is used to sort elements with a group. Otherwise, Comparator.compare(T, T) is used to group elements and sort elements within a group.

setSortAscending

public void setSortAscending(java.lang.String clsnm)
                      throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException,
                             java.lang.InstantiationException,
                             java.lang.IllegalAccessException

Sets the ascending sorter with the class name, or null for no sorter for the ascending order.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

java.lang.InstantiationException

java.lang.IllegalAccessException

getSortDescending

public java.util.Comparator<?> getSortDescending()

Returns the descending sorter, or null if not available.

setSortDescending

public void setSortDescending(java.util.Comparator<?> sorter)

Sets the descending sorter, or null for no sorter for the descending order.

Parameters:

sorter - the comparator used to sort the descending order. If you are using the group feature, you can pass an instance of GroupComparator to have a better control. If an instance of GroupComparator is passed, GroupComparator.compareGroup(D, D) is used to group elements, and Comparator.compare(T, T) is used to sort elements with a group. Otherwise, Comparator.compare(T, T) is used to group elements and sort elements within a group.

setSortDescending

public void setSortDescending(java.lang.String clsnm)
                       throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException,
                              java.lang.InstantiationException,
                              java.lang.IllegalAccessException

Sets the descending sorter with the class name, or null for no sorter for the descending order.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

java.lang.InstantiationException

java.lang.IllegalAccessException

sort

public boolean sort(boolean ascending)

Sorts the rows (Row) based on getSortAscending() and getSortDescending(), if getSortDirection() doesn't matches the ascending argument.

It checks getSortDirection() to see whether sorting is required, and update setSortDirection(java.lang.String) after sorted. For example, if getSortDirection() returns "ascending" and the ascending argument is false, nothing happens. To enforce the sorting, you can invoke setSortDirection(java.lang.String) with "natural" before invoking this method. Alternatively, you can invoke sort(boolean, boolean) instead.

It sorts the rows by use of Components.sort(java.util.List<? extends org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component>, java.util.Comparator<? super org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component>), if not live data (i.e., Grid.getModel() is null).

On the other hand, it invokes Sortable.sort(java.util.Comparator<T>, boolean) to sort the rows, if live data (i.e., Grid.getModel() is not null). In other words, if you use the live data, you have to implement Sortable to sort the live data explicitly.

Parameters:

ascending - whether to use getSortAscending(). If the corresponding comparator is not set, it returns false and does nothing.

Returns:

whether the rows are sorted.

Throws:

org.zkoss.zk.ui.UiException - if Grid.getModel() is not null but Sortable is not implemented.

sort

public boolean sort(boolean ascending,
                    boolean force)

Sorts the rows (Row) based on getSortAscending() and getSortDescending().

Parameters:

ascending - whether to use getSortAscending(). If the corresponding comparator is not set, it returns false and does nothing.

force - whether to enforce the sorting no matter what the sort direction (getSortDirection()) is. If false, this method is the same as sort(boolean).

Returns:

whether the rows are sorted.

group

public boolean group(boolean ascending)

Groups and sorts the rows (Row) based on getSortAscending(). If the corresponding comparator is not set, it returns false and does nothing.

Parameters:

ascending - whether to use getSortAscending(). If the corresponding comparator is not set, it returns false and does nothing.

Returns:

whether the rows are grouped.

Since:

3.5.0
