Detailed Description

Generate a grid-like or list-like output from a given input.

CTable table;
table.AddColumn("a");
table.AddColumn("b");
table.AddRow();
table.SetCell("a", "hello");
table.SetCell("b", "world");
 
unsigned int idx = 0;
CString tmp;
while (table.GetLine(idx++, tmp)) {
    // Output tmp somehow
}

The above code would generate the following output:

+-------+-------+
| a     | b     |
+-------+-------+
| hello | world |
+-------+-------+

If the table has at most two columns, one can switch to ListStyle output like so:

CTable table;
table.AddColumn("a");
table.AddColumn("b");
table.SetStyle(CTable::ListStyle);
// ...

This will yield the following (Note that the header is omitted; asterisks denote bold text):

*hello*: world

Member Function Documentation

AddColumn()

bool CTable::AddColumn

(

const CString &

sName

)

Adds a new column to the table.

Please note that you should add all columns before starting to fill the table!

Parameters

sName

The name of the column.

Returns

false if a column by that name already existed or the current style does not allow this many columns.

AddRow()

size_type CTable::AddRow

(

)

Adds a new row to the table.

After calling this you can fill the row with content.

Returns

The index of this row

Clear()

void CTable::Clear

(

)

Completely clear the table.

GetColumnWidth()

CString::size_type CTable::GetColumnWidth

(

unsigned int

uIdx

)

const

Return the width of the given column.

Please note that adding and filling new rows might change the result of this function!

Parameters

uIdx	The index of the column you are interested in.

Returns

The width of the column.

GetLine()

bool CTable::GetLine	(	unsigned int	uIdx,
		CString &	sLine ) const

Get a line of the table's output.

Parameters

uIdx	The index of the line you want.
sLine	This string will receive the output.

Returns

True unless uIdx is past the end of the table.

SetCell()

bool CTable::SetCell	(	const CString &	sColumn,
		const CString &	sValue,
		size_type	uRowIdx = ~0 )

Sets a given cell in the table to a value.

Parameters

sColumn	The name of the column you want to fill.
sValue	The value to write into that column.
uRowIdx	The index of the row to use as returned by AddRow(). If this is not given, the last row will be used.

Returns

True if setting the cell was successful.

SetStyle()

bool CTable::SetStyle

(

EStyle

eNewStyle

)

Selects the output style of the table.

Select between different styles for printing. Default is GridStyle.

Parameters

eNewStyle

Table style type.

Returns

false if the style cannot be applied (usually too many columns).
