Examples of JXTableHeader

TableHeader with extended functionality if associated Table is of type JXTable.

Extended user interaction

Note: this is currently (?) disabled due to missing core functionality. Supports column sorting by mouse clicks into a header cell (outside the resize region). The concrete gestures are configurable by providing a custom SortGestureRecognizer. The default recognizer toggles sort order on mouseClicked. On shift-mouseClicked, it resets any column sorting. Both are done by invoking the corresponding methods of JXTable, toggleSortOrder(int) and resetSortOrder()
Supports column pack (== auto-resize to exactly fit the contents) on double-click in resize region. Note: this is only fully effective if the JXTable has control over the row sorter, that is if the row sorter is of type SortController.
Supports horizontal auto-scroll if a column is dragged outside visible rectangle. This feature is enabled if the autoscrolls property is true. The default is false (because of Issue #788-swingx which still isn't fixed for jdk1.6).

Installs a default header renderer which is able to show sort icons. LAF provided special effects are uneffected.
Listens to TableColumn propertyChanges to update itself accordingly.
Supports per-column header ToolTips.
Guarantees reasonable minimal height > 0 for header preferred height.
Does its best to not sort if the mouse click happens in the resize region. Note: this is only fully effective if the JXTable has control over the row sorter, that is if the row sorter is of type SortController.
