Returns:: ID of column this column should be installed before or null

getNextColumnID

public String getNextColumnID()

Returns ID of column this column should be installed after or null. Defines default order of columns only. This default order can be changed by user, and getCurrentOrderNumber() and setCurrentOrderNumber(int) are used for sorting after that.

Returns:: ID of column next to this one or null

getShortDescription

True if column should be visible by default. Default implementation returns true.

Returns:: true if column should be visible by default

setVisible

public void setVisible(boolean visible)

Set true if column is visible.

Parameters:: visible - set true if column is visible

isSorted

public boolean isSorted()

True if column should be sorted by default. Default implementation returns false.

Returns:: true if column should be sorted by default

setSorted

public void setSorted(boolean sorted)

Returns:: true if column should be sorted by default in descending order

setSortedDescending

public void setSortedDescending(boolean sortedDescending)

Set true if column should be sorted by default in descending order.

Parameters:: sortedDescending - set true if column should be sorted by default in descending order

getCurrentOrderNumber

public int getCurrentOrderNumber()

Should return current order number of this column. Default value is -1. Current order number is used when the default order defined by getPreviuosColumnID() and getNextColumnID() is changed by user. So getCurrentOrderNumber () method should return -1, till the setCurrentOrderNumber(int) is called. And it should return newOrderNumber value after that.

Returns:: current order number of this column or -1

setCurrentOrderNumber

public void setCurrentOrderNumber(int newOrderNumber)

Is called when current order number of this column is changed.

Parameters:: newOrderNumber - new order number

getColumnWidth
