The qx.ui.table.Table widget is one of the most powerful included in the framework.

It behaves like a grid common in desktop applications.

The table is organized in columns and rows. The first row contains the column headers. Column headers contain the title of the column and allow to change its width, position (by drag and drop) and sorting.

A meta-column combines one or more columns that should be horizontally scrolled together. This way you can define for example fixed columns that stay always visible on the left (or right) while the other columns can be scrolled away.

Take the demo Table_1.html as example: If you make your browser window very small (or make one of the columns very wide) so the table needs horizontal scrolling, then the left column stays always visible. This is because the left column is one meta-column and the other columns are in another.

The model represents the data of the grid. It is implemented by a subclass of qx.ui.table.model.Abstract.

The selection of a table is managed by a qx.ui.table.selection.Manager.
