The view consists of three main parts:
•
Row
This is a view object responsible for rendering the items of the grid by laying out cells. Each
row is laid out horizontally below the previous one.
•
Column
Columns are fields that are displayed in the grid; the fields each correspond to the
property of each column.
Each column is a view object (an instance of the DataGridColumn class) responsible for
displaying each column—for example, width, color, size, and so on.
There are three ways to add columns to a data grid: assign a DataProvider object to
DataGrid.dataProvider
item), set
DataGrid.columnNames
constructor for the DataGridColumn class to create columns and call
to add them to the grid.
To format columns, either set up style properties for the entire data grid, or define
DataGridColumn objects, set up their style formats individually, and add them to the
data grid.
•
Cell
This is a view object responsible for rendering the individual fields of each item. To
communicate with the data grid, these components must implement the CellRenderer API
(see "CellRenderer API" on page
TextField object.
