SetTableColumnAttribute
int SetTableColumnAttribute (int panelHandle, int controlID, int columnIndex, int columnAttribute, ...);
Purpose
Sets an attribute of a table column.
 |
Note This function does not change the attributes of the existing cells in a column. To change the attributes, you must use SetTableCellRangeAttribute, and pass VAL_TABLE_COLUMN_RANGE. |
Example Code
The following example code demonstrates how to use this and other table functions to insert cells into a table control and modify the attributes of new and existing cells. This code results in a table with four new cells in two columns and two rows. The cells in the first column are blue, and the cells in the second column are yellow.
table = NewCtrl (panel, CTRL_TABLE_LS, "", 100, 100);
/* create two columns in the new table */
InsertTableColumns (panel, table, -1, 2, VAL_USE_MASTER_CELL_TYPE);
/* Set the default background color for new cells in both columns to yellow. */
SetTableColumnAttribute (panel, table, -1, ATTR_TEXT_BGCOLOR,
VAL_YELLOW);
/* Create two rows of cells whose background color is yellow. */
InsertTableRows (panel, table, -1, 2, VAL_USE_MASTER_CELL_TYPE);
/* Set the background color for the first column of existing cells to blue. */
SetTableCellRangeAttribute (panel, table, VAL_TABLE_COLUMN_RANGE(1),
ATTR_TEXT_BGCOLOR, VAL_BLUE);
Supported Controls
You can use SetTableColumnAttribute with table controls.

| panelHandle | int | Specifier for a particular panel that is currently in memory. You can obtain this handle from functions such as LoadPanel and NewPanel. |

| columnIndex | int | The one-based index of the table column for which you want to set the attribute. Pass –1 if you want to set the attribute for all columns in the table. |
| columnAttribute | int | The column attribute value to set.

If the attribute shown in this ring control has named constants as valid values, you can open a list of them by moving to the Attribute Value control and pressing <Enter>. The Attribute Values dialog box displays the values and value help for the constants. |
| attributeValue | ... | The value to which to set the column attribute. If the attribute shown in this ring control has named constants as valid values, you can open a list of them by pressing <Enter>. The Attribute Values dialog box displays the values and value help for the constants. |
