List Column (PRIM_LIST.Column)
Base class for all columns
Ancestors - Object (PRIM_OBJT)
Column is the base class for all column type in the List control.
Unlike other component LANSA lists e.g. Tree and Grid, where column types are generic, Prim_List has specific column types for string, number, date time, image, button, check box and reusable part.
When a field or control is dropped on the list, the appropriate type of column is added. If it was a field, the source parameter of the column will be set as it is for other LANSA lists.
Columns work in 2 ways. Firstly, the definition of the column is used as a prototype when an entry is added. So, a button column defined with a caption of "Delete" will show a button in each item with a caption of "Delete". Secondly, all column types have a CurrentItem property that provides access to the individual instance.
This example shows a simple list with a number and button columns. The button is hidden if the row is an even numbered row.
