Column Group Header Rename [message #1736174]

Hello,

I need to rename a group column header dynamically after NatTable is created & loaded. There is RenameColumnHeaderCommand() which works only for column header but there is no similar command available for group column header.

DisplayColumnGroupRenameDialogCommand() pops up a dialog to rename a group column header but I need to do it program-wise and not leaving it to user.

One way is to label the group column inside getConfigLabelsByPosition() when the ColumnGroupHeaderLayer is getting created and then in config registry for that label, use a "display converter" to change the header name as desired. But I think that is not the brightest way to achieve this.

Is there any better solution to this?

Thanks

The name of a column group is taken out of the ColumnGroup. The ColumnGroup can be taken out of the ColumnGroupModel. By knowing the ColumnGroupModel and the column index you can change the column group name programmatically with a snippet similar to this

ColumnGroupModel model = ...;
...
ColumnGroup columnGroup = this.model.getColumnGroupByIndex(columnIndex);
columnGroup.setName("new column group name");
