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.

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:

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/toy/tow/toh. (Blue in the diagram above)

Member Function Documentation

◆ callback()

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:

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 {

◆ callback_col()

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.

◆ callback_context()

TableContext Fl_Table::callback_context ( )
inline

Returns the current 'table context'.

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

◆ callback_row()

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.

◆ child()

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);
[..]
}
int children() const
Returns the number of children in the table.
Definition Fl_Table.H:924
Fl_Widget * child(int n) const
Returns the child widget by an index.
Definition Fl_Table.H:912
int w() const
Gets the widget width.
Definition Fl_Widget.H:294

◆ children()

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)

◆ clear()

virtual void Fl_Table::clear ( )
inlinevirtual

Clears the table to zero rows (rows(0)), zero columns (cols(0)), and clears any widgets (table->clear()) that were added with begin()/end() or add()/insert()/etc.

See also
rows(int), cols(int)

Reimplemented in Fl_Table_Row.

◆ col_header()

void Fl_Table::col_header ( int  flag)
inline

Enable or disable column headers.

If changed, the table is redrawn.

◆ col_resize()

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.

◆ col_resize_min()

void Fl_Table::col_resize_min ( int  val)
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.

◆ col_width()

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.

◆ col_width_all()

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.

◆ draw()

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.

◆ draw_cell()

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 
)
inlineprotectedvirtual

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 it's starting to draw page
return;
case CONTEXT_ROW_HEADER: // Fl_Table telling us to draw row/col headers
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);
}
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);
}
return;
default:

}
//NOTREACHED
}

◆ get_selection()

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

◆ handle()

int Fl_Table::handle ( int  event)
protectedvirtual

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.

◆ is_interactive_resize()

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().

◆ is_selected()

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.

◆ resize()

void Fl_Table::resize ( int  X,
int  Y,
int  W,
int  H 
)
virtual

Changes the size of the Fl_Table, causing it to redraw.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

◆ row_header()

void Fl_Table::row_header ( int  flag)
inline

Enables/disables showing the row headers.

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

◆ row_height()

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.

◆ row_height_all()

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.

◆ row_resize()

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.

◆ row_resize_min()

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.

◆ rows()

void Fl_Table::rows ( int  val)
virtual

Sets the number of rows in the table, and the table is redrawn.

Reimplemented in Fl_Table_Row.

◆ scrollbar_size() [1/2]

int Fl_Table::scrollbar_size ( ) const
inline

Gets the current size of the scrollbars' troughs, in pixels.

If this value is zero (default), this widget will use the Fl::scrollbar_size() value as the scrollbar's width.

Returns
Scrollbar size in pixels, or 0 if the global Fl::scrollbar_size() is being used.
See also
Fl::scrollbar_size(int)

◆ scrollbar_size() [2/2]

void Fl_Table::scrollbar_size ( int  newSize)
inline

Sets the pixel size of the scrollbars' troughs to newSize, in pixels.

Normally you should not need this method, and should use Fl::scrollbar_size(int) instead to manage the size of ALL your widgets' scrollbars. This ensures your application has a consistent UI, is the default behavior, and is normally what you want.

Only use THIS method if you really need to override the global scrollbar size. The need for this should be rare.

Setting newSize to the special value of 0 causes the widget to track the global Fl::scrollbar_size(), which is the default.

Parameters
[in]newSizeSets the scrollbar size in pixels.
If 0 (default), scrollbar size tracks the global Fl::scrollbar_size()
See also
Fl::scrollbar_size()

◆ set_selection()

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

◆ tab_cell_nav() [1/2]

int Fl_Table::tab_cell_nav ( ) const
inline

Get state of table's 'Tab' key cell navigation flag.

Returns
1 if Tab configured to navigate cells in table
0 to navigate widget focus (default)
See also
tab_cell_nav(int)

◆ tab_cell_nav() [2/2]

void Fl_Table::tab_cell_nav ( int  val)
inline

Flag to control if Tab navigates table cells or not.

If on, Tab key navigates table cells. If off, Tab key navigates fltk widget focus. (default)

As of fltk 1.3, the default behavior of the Tab key is to navigate focus off of the current widget, and on to the next one. But in some applications, it's useful for Tab to be used to navigate cells in the Fl_Table.

Parameters
[in]valIf val is 1, Tab key navigates cells in table, not fltk widgets.
If val is 0, Tab key will advance focus to the next fltk widget (default), and does not navigate cells in table.

◆ table_box()

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.

◆ top_row() [1/2]

int Fl_Table::top_row ( )
inline

Returns the current top row shown in the table.

This row may be partially obscured.

◆ top_row() [2/2]

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.

◆ visible_cells()

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

◆ when()

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::event_button()) to determine what kind of event is occurring.
