        public String getHeaderCaption()
                                throws IllegalStateException
        Deprecated.
        Returns the caption of the header. By default the header caption is the property id of the column.

      • setHidingToggleCaption

        public Grid.Column setHidingToggleCaption​(String hidingToggleCaption)
                                           throws IllegalStateException
        Deprecated.
        Sets the caption of the hiding toggle for this column. Shown in the toggle for this column in the grid's sidebar when the column is hidable.

        The default value is null, and in that case the column's header caption is used.

        NOTE: setting this to empty string might cause the hiding toggle to not render correctly.

        Parameters:
        hidingToggleCaption - the text to show in the column hiding toggle
        Returns:
        the column itself

      • setWidthUndefined

        public Grid.Column setWidthUndefined()
        Deprecated.

        the column itself
      • setRenderer

        public <T> Grid.Column setRenderer​(Renderer<T> renderer,

      • setSortable

        public Grid.Column setSortable​(boolean sortable)
        Deprecated.
        Sets whether this column is sortable by the user. The grid can be sorted by a sortable column by clicking or tapping the column's default header. Programmatic sorting using the Grid#sort methods is not affected by this setting.
        Parameters:
        sortable - true if the user should be able to sort the column, false otherwise
        Returns:
        the column itself
        Throws:

        IllegalStateException - if the data source does not support sorting by the property associated with this column
      • isSortable

        public boolean isSortable()
        Deprecated.
        Returns whether the user can sort the grid by this column.

        Note: it is possible to sort by this column programmatically using the Grid#sort methods regardless of the returned value.

        Returns:
        true if the column is sortable by the user, false otherwise
      • setExpandRatio

        public Grid.Column setExpandRatio​(int expandRatio)
                                   throws IllegalStateException
        Deprecated.
        Sets the ratio with which the column expands.

        By default, all columns expand equally (treated as if all of them had an expand ratio of 1). Once at least one column gets a defined expand ratio, the implicit expand ratio is removed, and only the defined expand ratios are taken into account.

        If a column has a defined width (setWidth(double)), it overrides this method's effects.

        Example: A grid with three columns, with expand ratios 0, 1 and 2, respectively. The column with a ratio of 0 is exactly as wide as its contents requires. The column with a ratio of 1 is as wide as it needs, plus a third of any excess space, because we have 3 parts total, and this column reserves only one of those. The column with a ratio of 2, is as wide as it needs to be, plus two thirds of the excess width.

        Parameters:
        expandRatio - the expand ratio of this column. 0 to not have it expand at all. A negative number to clear the expand value.
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if the column is no longer attached to any grid
        See Also:
        setWidth(double)
      • getExpandRatio

        public int getExpandRatio()
        Deprecated.
        Returns the column's expand ratio.
        Returns:
        the column's expand ratio
        See Also:
        setExpandRatio(int)
      • getMinimumWidth

        public double getMinimumWidth()
        Deprecated.
        Return the minimum width for this column.
        Returns:
        the minimum width for this column
        See Also:
        setMinimumWidth(double)
      • setMaximumWidth

        public Grid.Column setMaximumWidth​(double pixels)
        Deprecated.
        Sets the maximum width for this column.

        This defines the maximum allowed pixel width of the column when it is set to expand.

        Parameters:
        pixels - the maximum width
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if the column is no longer attached to any grid
        See Also:
        setExpandRatio(int)
      • getMaximumWidth

        public double getMaximumWidth()
        Deprecated.
        Returns the maximum width for this column.
        Returns:
        the maximum width for this column
        See Also:
        setMaximumWidth(double)
      • setEditable

        public Grid.Column setEditable​(boolean editable)
        Deprecated.
        Sets whether the properties corresponding to this column should be editable when the item editor is active. By default columns are editable.

        Values in non-editable columns are currently not displayed when the editor is active, but this will probably change in the future. They are not automatically assigned an editor field and, if one is manually assigned, it is not used. Columns that cannot (or should not) be edited even in principle should be set non-editable.

        Parameters:
        editable - true if this column should be editable, false otherwise
        Returns:
        this column
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if the editor is currently active
        See Also:
        Grid.editItem(Object), Grid.isEditorActive()
      • isEditable

        public boolean isEditable()
        Deprecated.
        Returns whether the properties corresponding to this column should be editable when the item editor is active.
        Returns:
        true if this column is editable, false otherwise
        See Also:
        Grid.editItem(Object), setEditable(boolean)
      • setEditorField

        public Grid.Column setEditorField​(Field<?> editor)
        Deprecated.
        Sets the field component used to edit the properties in this column when the item editor is active. If an item has not been set, then the binding is postponed until the item is set using Grid.editItem(Object).

        Setting the field to null clears any previously set field, causing a new field to be created the next time the item editor is opened.

        Parameters:
        editor - the editor field
        Returns:
        this column
      • getEditorField

        public Field<?> getEditorField()
        Deprecated.
        Returns the editor field used to edit the properties in this column when the item editor is active. Returns null if the column is not editable.

        When editItem is called, fields are automatically created and bound for any unbound properties.

        Getting a field before the editor has been opened depends on special support from the FieldGroup in use. Using this method with a user-provided FieldGroup might cause BindException to be thrown.

        Returns:
        the bound field; or null if the respective column is not editable
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if there is no column for the provided property id
        FieldGroup.BindException - if no field has been configured and there is a problem building or binding
      • setHidden

        public Grid.Column setHidden​(boolean hidden)

        public Grid.Column setHidable​(boolean hidable)
        Deprecated.
