---+ ColumnAttribute Component

The ColumnAttribute component is used as child of a WebXEO.GridPanel (or BridgePanel) component in order to select which columns should appear. By default WebXEO.GridPanel instances will show a selection of the attributes of the objects used in the data source. With the ColumnAttribute component the exact number (and which) of attributes can be selected. A SQL query can be also be executed per column to display a particular value. <br />ColumnAttribute text:<br /> <img width="379" alt="columnAttribute.PNG" src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/columnAttribute.PNG" height="46" />

*XML Definition:*
<verbatim><xvw:columnAttribute 
   dataField='name' 
   ....

   label='Nome'
 ></verbatim> <pre><verbatim></xvw:columnAttribute></verbatim>
</pre>

| label | The label to show in the table header column | String / EL | | Optional | | |
| width | The width of this column (in pixels) | Int | Any positive integer | Optional* | | <p>width='100'</p> <p>* If you intend to use the export to PDF / Excel feature you need to set a valid (&gt; 0) with for each column</p> |

| lookupViewer | Force the lookup viewer name when searching by this column. | String | The name of a Lookupviewer | Optional | | |
| [[#renderer][renderder]] | An implementation of the netgest.bo.xwc.components.classic.GridColumnRenderer interface which allows the column attribute to rendered in a custom way | EL -&gt;GridColumnRenderer | | Optional | | Must be binded to a bean renderer = '#{viewBean.myRenderer}' |
| renderTemplate | Render template, or <a target="_blank" href="http://www.json.org/">JSON </a>object with several render templates according to the value for this column. | String | | Optional | | |
| [[#sqlExpression][sqlExpression]] | Sql query to execute to retrieve the values of this column | String | | Optional | | |

---+++++ XML Definition in a Viewer

<verbatim><xvw:gridPanel enableGroupBy='true' dataSource='#{viewBean.dataList}'>
    <xvw:columns>
        <xvw:columnAttribute width='100' dataField='BOUI'/></verbatim>

---+++++ *Property - Renderer:<a name="renderer"></a>*

The renderer property allows the developer to custom render a given column attribute. *If one would want to display the value of the column in italic the following should be done.* <br /> <img width="382" alt="columnAttributeItalico.PNG" src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/columnAttributeItalico.PNG" height="79" />

*XML Definition*
<verbatim><xvw:columnAttribute dataField='myFields' renderer='#{viewBean.myRenderer}'/></verbatim>

*Java Bean Code*
<verbatim>

public GridColumnRenderer getMyRenderer() {    


             return new GridColumnRenderer() {


                 public String render( GridPanel grid, DataRecordConnector record, DataFieldConnector field ) {


                     String oValue = field.getValue();


                     return "<i>" + oValue + "</i><script type="text/javascript" src="http://wiki.itds.pt/pub/TWiki/TinyMCEPlugin/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/themes/advanced/langs/en.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://wiki.itds.pt/pub/TWiki/TinyMCEPlugin/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/twikibuttons/langs/en.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://wiki.itds.pt/pub/TWiki/TinyMCEPlugin/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/twikiimage/langs/en.js"></script>;";


                 } 


              }


}
</verbatim>

Notes: A DataRecordConnector represents the line form the current Grid and the DataFieldConnector represents the field from the current line.
---+++++ Property - SQL Expression<a name="sqlExpression"></a>

A ColumnAttribute is declared with an SQL expression in the following way:

<verbatim><xvw:columnAttribute width='150' label='Criador' 
         dataField='CRIADOR'
         renderTemplate="&lt;div style=\'color:red;font-weight:bold\'>%s&lt;/div>"
         sqlExpression="(select username from OiXEOUser where OTeste.CREATOR$=BOUI)"
      /></verbatim>

---++++++ Declaring a SQL expression and formatting the output according to its value:

<verbatim><xvw:gridPanel enableGroupBy='true' dataSource='#{viewBean.dataList}'>
   <xvw:columns>
      <xvw:columnAttribute width='150' label='Criador' 
         dataField='CRIADOR'
         renderTemplate="
            {
               'SYSUSER': '&lt;div style=\'color:red;font-weight:bold\'>%s&lt;/div>',
               '':'Null',
               'default': 'Other'
            }
         "
         sqlExpression="(select username from OiXEOUser where OTeste.CREATOR$=BOUI)"
      /></verbatim>

*Predefined Constants to use in the dataField property _(can only be used when the the DataListConnector of the WebXEO.GridPanel component is an instance of XEOObjectListConnector - meaning that the Panel must be showing)_*

<strong><br /></strong>
| *Constant* | *Description* |
| SYS_OBJECT_ICON_16 | Renders the Icon of the Object |
| <p>SYS_OBJECT_LABEL</p> | The label of the type of object (XEOModel) |
| SYS_ICON_COMPOSED_STATE | TODO |
| SYS_CARDID | The Card Id of the object |
| SYS_ROWNUM | The number of the row |
