Change default visibility of a column [message #526271]

I have a table page that is shown below a project and on its own. When shown below a project, I want the country column to be invisible:

  @Override
  public void execInitPage() throws ProcessingException {
        getTable().getCountryColumn().setVisible(getProjectNr()==null);
  }

My problem was that hitting the reset menu from the column headers will revert the column to its default configured state (ie. the visible property of the column) ignoring the code in execInitPage.

What is the recommended practice in this situation?

Right now I use the following on the column level in addition to the above:

      @Override
      public boolean getConfiguredVisible() {
        return getProjectNr()==null;
      }

The SDK shows this as "Unaccepted value!" but it works. Smile

Hi Alex

For your problem the recommendet practice would be following:

  @Override
  public void execInitPage() throws ProcessingException {
    getTable().getCountryColumn().setDisplayable(getProjectNr()==null);
  }

Your second code-fragment would be obsolete with the recommended way.

Greetings
Stephan

getTable().getCountryColumn().setDisplayable(getProjectNr()= =null);

Hm, I see. If I read the specification correctly, the customer wants the column there, but "invisible by default" under certain conditions. My solution allows the client to make the column visible if so desired. That wouldn't be possible if I used the displayable property, right?

Thanks for the reminder regarding visible vs. displayable, though. Smile
