Table Item

  • 2 minutes to read

A table item is a row or column within a Table View worksheet. All table items are logical elements, used to arrange and manage cells.

Like an individual cell within a Table View worksheet, a table item can be initialized or uninitialized. Individual table item objects are managed by using their respective collections within a Table View worksheet.

Initialized table items are column and row objects that store individual Style settings and host the cell objects created within a Table View worksheet. Therefore, you can use a table item to customize the default appearance of all cells within it, since a newly created cell object imports its Style settings from a row or column object in which it is located.

For additional information on appearance customization of individual table items, refer to the Table Item Appearance Customization Level topic.

Creating a cell object automatically creates both the row and column objects to which the newly created cell belongs, provided that these table items do not already exist:

A column or row object can be created explicitly at the specified position within a Table View worksheet by calling the CreateItem function of a Columns collection or the CreateItem function of the Rows collection.

Note that a newly created table item has no cell objects within it.
