The item children that may be added to instances of this class must be of type TableItem.

Style VIRTUAL is used to create a Table whose TableItems 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 TableItem population is expensive (for example, retrieving values from an external source).

Here is an example of using a Table with style VIRTUAL:

  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 ());
      }
  }); 
 

Note that although this class is a subclass of Composite, it does not make sense to add Control children to it, or set a layout on it.

Styles:

SINGLE, MULTI, CHECK, FULL_SELECTION, HIDE_SELECTION, VIRTUAL

Events:

Selection, DefaultSelection, SetData, MeasureItem, EraseItem, PaintItem

Note: Only one of the styles SINGLE, and MULTI may be specified.

IMPORTANT: This class is not intended to be subclassed.
