Fields

AlignmentGetter

ColorGetter

Defines a delegate for returning a custom color scheme per cell based on cell values. Return null for the default

Declaration

public TableView.CellColorGetterDelegate ColorGetter

Field Value

TableView.CellColorGetterDelegate

RepresentationGetter

Defines a delegate for returning custom representations of cell values. If not set then System.Object.ToString is used. Return values from your delegate may be truncated e.g. based on MaxWidth

Declaration

public Func<object, string> RepresentationGetter

Field Value

Type	Description
System.Func<System.Object, System.String>

Properties

Alignment

Defines the default alignment for all values rendered in this column. For custom alignment based on cell contents use AlignmentGetter.

Declaration

public TextAlignment Alignment { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
TextAlignment

Format

Defines the format for values e.g. "yyyy-MM-dd" for dates

Declaration

public string Format { get; set; }

Property Value

MaxWidth

Set the maximum width of the column in characters. This value will be ignored if more than the tables MaxCellWidth. Defaults to DefaultMaxCellWidth

Declaration

public int MaxWidth { get; set; }

Property Value

System.Int32

MinAcceptableWidth

Enables flexible sizing of this column based on available screen space to render into.

Declaration

public int MinAcceptableWidth { get; set; }
