Instances of this class implement a selectable user interface object that displays a list of images and strings and issues notification when selected. <p> The item children that may be added to instances of this class must be of type <code>TableItem</code>. </p><p> Style <code>VIRTUAL</code> is used to create a <code>Table</code> whose <code>TableItem</code>s are to be populated by the client on an on-demand basis instead of up-front. This can provide significant performance improvements for tables that are very large or for which <code>TableItem</code> population is expensive (for example, retrieving values from an external source). </p><p> Here is an example of using a <code>Table</code> with style <code>VIRTUAL</code>: <code><pre> final Table table = new Table (parent, SWT.VIRTUAL | SWT.BORDER); table.setItemCount (1000000); table.addListener (SWT.SetData, new Listener () { public void handleEvent (Event event) { TableItem item = (TableItem) event.item; int index = table.indexOf (item); item.setText ("Item " + index); System.out.println (item.getText ()); } }); </pre></code> </p><p> Note that although this class is a subclass of <code>Composite</code>, it does not normally make sense to add <code>Control</code> children to it, or set a layout on it, unless implementing something like a cell editor. </p><p> <dl> <dt><b>Styles:</b></dt> <dd>SINGLE, MULTI, CHECK, FULL_SELECTION, HIDE_SELECTION, VIRTUAL, NO_SCROLL</dd> <dt><b>Events:</b></dt> <dd>Selection, DefaultSelection, SetData, MeasureItem, EraseItem, PaintItem</dd> </dl> </p><p> Note: Only one of the styles SINGLE, and MULTI may be specified. </p><p> IMPORTANT: This class is <em>not</em> intended to be subclassed. </p>
