Table columns
The EwTableColumn objects in a table list have their own set of resources and callbacks. The cellValueCallbackmethod obtains the renderable object that represents the value of a column in a particular row.
Additional resources control the appearance of the column and its heading. The heading resource can be set to a renderable object that is to be displayed at the top of a particular column. The resizable resource controls whether users can resize the column to a different width by dragging the right side of the column heading. Other resources control the size, alignment, and visual style of the column.
The following code creates a table list with the subclasses of the class Object as its items. The first column displays an icon, the second displays the name of the class, and the third displays the class's comment.
Object subclass: #TableListExample
instanceVariableNames: 'icon'
classVariableNames: "
