<p>
NSTableColumn objects represent columns in
NSTableViews.
</p>
<h3><a name ="cont-1">The Column Identifier</a></h3>
<p>
Each NSTableColumn object is identified by an object,
called the column identifier. The reason is that,
after a column has been added to a table view, the user
might move the columns around, so there is a need to
identify the columns regardless of their position in
the table.
</p>
<p>
The identifier is typically a string describing the
column. This identifier object is never displayed to
the user ! It is only used internally by the program to
identify the column - so yes, you may use a funny
string for it and nobody will know, except people
reading the code.
</p>
<h3><a name ="cont-2">
Information Stored in an NSTableColumn Object
</a></h3>
<p>
An NSTableColumn object mainly keeps information about the
width of the column, its minimum and maximum width;
whether the column can be edited or resized; and the
cells used to draw the column header and the data in
the column. You can change all these attributes of the
column by calling the appropriate methods. Please note
that the table column does not hold nor has access to
the data to be displayed in the column; this data is
maintained in the table view's data source, as
described in the NSTableView documentation. A last
hint: to set the title of a table column, ask the table
column for its header cell, and set the string value
of this header cell to the desired title.
