How to get column header text in IWDTable

[Former Member]

Hi

Just want to know how to get column header name in IWDTable.

I know that you can get it with

IWDAbstractTableColumn[] groupedColumns = table.getGroupedColumns();
for (int i = 0; i < groupedColumns.length; i++) {
	IWDAbstractTableColumn column = groupedColumns<i>;
	column.getHeader().getText();
					
}

But what if text isnt set on header level but its rendered from cellEditor model binding (im not sure if its like that).

Hi

You can change the column headers even you bind with model node.

Yes i know but i just want to create view which can display columns name list. I'm doing some kind of personalization of tables, where you can hide or display column or change column order. Solution must be flexible so data must be read dynamically.

Hi

You can use your code or

U can get from the context attribute.

IWDAttributeInfo info = wdContext.node<node>.getNodeInfo().getAttribute('attribute name');

String str = info.getSimpleType().getDescription();

Finally after your suggestion i did it with this code

String header = column.getHeader().getText();
			    if ((header == null || header.length() == 0) && column instanceof IWDTableColumn){
			    	IWDTableCellEditor tableCellEditor = ((IWDTableColumn) column).getTableCellEditor();
			    	if (tableCellEditor instanceof IWDTextView){
			    		String bindingPath = ((IWDTextView)tableCellEditor).bindingOfText();
						StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(bindingPath,".");
						String token = "";
						IWDNodeInfo nodeInfo = context.getNodeInfo();
						while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()){
							token = tokenizer.nextToken();
							if (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()){
								nodeInfo = nodeInfo.getChild(token);		
							}
						}
						IWDAttributeInfo attribute = nodeInfo.getAttribute(token);
						ISimpleType simpleType = attribute.getSimpleType();
						simpleType.getDescription();
			    		header = simpleType.getDescription();
			    	}
			    }
