public class ColumnTree extends Layout implements HasNodeSelectedHandlers, DataBoundComponent
The Smart GWT system supports hierarchical data (also referred to as tree data due to its "branching" organization) with:

- the `Tree` class, which manipulates hierarchical data sets
- the TreeGrid widget class, which extends the ListGrid class to visually present tree data in an expandable/collapsible format.
- the ColumnTree widget class, which visually presents tree data in a so-called "Miller Column" format.

For information on DataBinding Trees, see `TreeDataBinding`.

A ColumnTree shows a single branch of the underlying `Tree` horizontally, from left to right. Thus, the leftmost column shows all the top-level nodes. When the user clicks one of those nodes, a new column is shown immediately to the right of the top-level column, showing the selected node's children. Additional columns are shown as required to present lower-level children. The behavior of ColumnTree is similar to that of the Browser interface in the Apple™ iTunes™ application.

      Current backButton value. Default value is null
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - if this widget has not yet been rendered.

  - ### setBackButtonTitle

    public ColumnTree setBackButtonTitle(String backButtonTitle)
    When using `single-column mode`, this i18n property dictates the title for the `button` docked to the top left which allows navigation back through the column tree.
    Parameters:
      `backButtonTitle` - New backButtonTitle value. Default value is "Back"
    Returns:
      `ColumnTree` instance, for chaining setter calls

  - ### getBackButtonTitle

    public String getBackButtonTitle()
    When using `single-column mode`, this i18n property dictates the title for the `button` docked to the top left which allows navigation back through the column tree.

  - ### setCanDragRecordsOut

    public ColumnTree setCanDragRecordsOut(Boolean canDragRecordsOut)
    Indicates whether records can be dragged from this listGrid and dropped elsewhere.

    NOTE: If `canDragRecordsOut` is initially enabled or might be dynamically enabled after the grid is created, it may be desirable to disable `touch scrolling` so that touch-dragging a record starts a drag operation rather than a scroll, but see the discussion of `drag handles`. If `Canvas.disableTouchScrollingForDrag` is set to `true`, then touch scrolling will be disabled automatically. However, for `accessibility` reasons, it is recommended to leave touch scrolling enabled and provide an alternative set of controls that can be used to perform drag and drop of records out of the grid.

    Parameters:
      `canDragRecordsOut` - New canDragRecordsOut value. Default value is false
    Returns:
      `ColumnTree` instance, for chaining setter calls

  - ### folderDrop

    public void folderDrop(TreeNode[] nodes, TreeNode folder, int index, Canvas sourceWidget)
    Process a drop of one or more nodes on a TreeGrid folder.
    Note: See `TreeGridDrop` for an overview of TreeGrid drag and drop behavior. Add logic in your drop handler to perform custom drop behaviors; to suppress the built-in behavior described below, use `event.cancel()`

    The default behavior is to simply delegate to the `transferNodes()` method; thus, the correct way to perform a programmatic folder drop, with all the built-in behaviors described below, is to call `transferNodes()`

    If this is a self-drop, nodes are simply reordered. An "update" operation will be submitted to update the `parentId` field of the moved node(s).

    For a drop from another widget, `TreeGrid.transferDragData()` is called which, depending on the `dragDataAction` specified on the source widget, may either remove the source nodes from the original list (`dragDataAction:"move"`) or just provide a copy to this tree (`dragDataAction:"copy"`).

    In either case the new row(s) appear in the `folder` at the `index` specified by the arguments of the same name.

    If this grid is databound, the new nodes will be added to the dataset by calling `DataSource.addData()`. Further, if the new nodes were dragged from another databound component, and `addDropValues` is true, `getDropValues` will be called for every item being dropped.

    As a special case, if the `sourceWidget` is also databound and a `foreignKey` relationship is declared from the `sourceWidget`'s DataSource to this TreeGrid's DataSource, the interaction will be treated as a "drag recategorization" use case such as files being placed in folders, employees being assigned to teams, etc. "update" DSRequests will be submitted that change the foreignKey field in the dropped records to point to the tree folder that was the target of the drop. In this case no change will be made to the Tree data as such, only to the dropped records.

    For multi-record drops, Queuing is automatically used to combine all DSRequests into a single HTTP Request (see QuickStart Guide, Server Framework chapter). This allows the server to persist all changes caused by the drop in a single transaction (and this is automatically done when using the built-in server DataSources with Power Edition and above).

    If these default persistence behaviors are undesirable, use `event.cancel()`, then implement your own behavior, typically by using grid.updateData() or addData() to add new records.

    NOTE: the records you receive in this event are the actual Records from the source component. Use `DataSource.copyRecords()` to create a copy before modifying the records or using them with updateData() or addData().

    Parameters:
      `nodes` - List of nodes being dropped
      `folder` - The folder being dropped on
      `index` - Within the folder being dropped on, the index at which the drop is occurring. Only passed if `canReorderRecords` is true.
      `sourceWidget` - The component that is the source of the nodes (where the nodes were dragged from)

  - ### getColumnTitle

    public void getColumnTitle(TreeNode node, int colNum)
    Returns the title to show for the header of indicated column. Only called if `shouldShowHeader()` returns true for this column.

    By default, returns `firstColumnTitle` for the first column, and for subsequent columns, the result of `this.data.getTitle()` called on the `node` passed to this function.

    Parameters:
      `node` - parent node for the nodes to be shown in the column
      `colNum` - index of the column

  - ### getRecord

    public TreeNode getRecord(int index)
    Retrieve a record by index.

    If `colNum` is passed, returns the record found in that column at that index, or null if the column doesn't exist or the index is too high.

    With no `colNum` parameter, a record's index is it's position counting from the first record of the first column and including all records in each column. Note that both index and colNum are zero-based - so the first column is column 0, not column 1.

    Parameters:
      `index` - index of record to return.
    Returns:
      node at the specified index

  - ### getRecord

    public TreeNode getRecord(int index, Integer colNum)
    Retrieve a record by index.

    If `colNum` is passed, returns the record found in that column at that index, or null if the column doesn't exist or the index is too high.

    With no `colNum` parameter, a record's index is it's position counting from the first record of the first column and including all records in each column. Note that both index and colNum are zero-based - so the first column is column 0, not column 1.

    Parameters:
      `index` - index of record to return.
      `colNum` - optional index of the column
    Returns:
      node at the specified index

  - ### getSelectedRecord

    public Record getSelectedRecord()
    Get the selected record, that is, the parent of the nodes in the rightmost visible column.

    This is generally the most recently clicked node unless programmatic navigation has taken place.

    If only the first column is showing, the root node is returned (which can be detected via `Tree.isRoot()`).

    Returns:
      the selected record

  - ### navigateBack

    public void navigateBack()
    Navigate to the previous column.

  - ### shouldShowHeader

    public void shouldShowHeader(TreeNode node, int colNum)
    Whether the indicated column should show a header. Returns this.showHeaders by default, override for different behavior.
    Parameters:
      `node` - parent node for the nodes to be shown in the column
      `colNum` - index of the column

  - ### transferNodes

    public void transferNodes(TreeNode[] nodes, TreeNode folder, Integer index, Canvas sourceWidget)
    Transfer a list of `TreeNode`s within this treeGrid or from from some other component (does not have to be a databound component) into this component. This method is only applicable to list-type components, such as `listGrid`, `treeGrid` or `tileGrid`. Please see the paragraph below for special rules concerning `multi-link trees`.

    This method implements the automatic drag-copy and drag-move behavior and calling it is equivalent to completing a drag and drop of the `nodes` (the default `folderDrop()` implementation simply calls `transferNodes()`)

    Note that this method is asynchronous - it may need to perform server turnarounds to prevent duplicates in the target component's data. If you wish to be notified when the transfer process has completed, you can either pass the optional callback to this method or implement the `DataBoundComponent.dropComplete()` method on this component.

    For a TreeGrid, see also `transferSelectedData()`.

    Multi-link trees
    If both the target treeGrid and the `sourceWidget` for this transfer are multi-link treeGrids, the `nodes` parameter must be an array of `NodeLocator`s rather than TreeNodes. Likewise, if the target (this) component is a multi-link treeGrid, the `folder` parameter must be a NodeLocator.

    You can obtain a NodeLocator for a visible node occurence in a multi-link TreeGrid by calling its data model's `getNodeLocator()` method.

    Parameters:
      `nodes` - Nodes to transfer to this component
      `folder` - The target folder (eg, of a drop interaction), for context
      `index` - Insert point within the target folder data for the transferred nodes
      `sourceWidget` - The databound or non-databound component from which the nodes are to be transferred.

      - Drop Events Example

  - ### transferNodes

    public void transferNodes(TreeNode[] nodes, TreeNode folder, Integer index, Canvas sourceWidget, String callback)
    Transfer a list of `TreeNode`s within this treeGrid or from from some other component (does not have to be a databound component) into this component. This method is only applicable to list-type components, such as `listGrid`, `treeGrid` or `tileGrid`. Please see the paragraph below for special rules concerning `multi-link trees`.

    This method implements the automatic drag-copy and drag-move behavior and calling it is equivalent to completing a drag and drop of the `nodes` (the default `folderDrop()` implementation simply calls `transferNodes()`)

    Note that this method is asynchronous - it may need to perform server turnarounds to prevent duplicates in the target component's data. If you wish to be notified when the transfer process has completed, you can either pass the optional callback to this method or implement the `DataBoundComponent.dropComplete()` method on this component.

    For a TreeGrid, see also `transferSelectedData()`.

    Multi-link trees
    If both the target treeGrid and the `sourceWidget` for this transfer are multi-link treeGrids, the `nodes` parameter must be an array of `NodeLocator`s rather than TreeNodes. Likewise, if the target (this) component is a multi-link treeGrid, the `folder` parameter must be a NodeLocator.

    You can obtain a NodeLocator for a visible node occurence in a multi-link TreeGrid by calling its data model's `getNodeLocator()` method.

    Parameters:
      `nodes` - Nodes to transfer to this component
      `folder` - The target folder (eg, of a drop interaction), for context
      `index` - Insert point within the target folder data for the transferred nodes
      `sourceWidget` - The databound or non-databound component from which the nodes are to be transferred.
      `callback` - optional callback to be fired when the transfer process has completed. The callback will be passed a single parameter "records", the list of nodes actually transferred to this component (it is called "records" because this is logic shared with `ListGrid`). See `Callback`

      - Drop Events Example

  - ### setDefaultProperties

    public static void setDefaultProperties(ColumnTree columnTreeProperties)
    Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties set on the SmartGWT class instance passed to this function before its underlying SmartClient JS object was created. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

    Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

    Parameters:
      `columnTreeProperties` - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created
    See Also:
      - `SGWTProperties`

    If true, when the user drags a droppable target over a folder in this TreeGrid, show a different icon folder icon. This is achieved by appending the `dropIconSuffix` onto the `folderIcon` URL (for example `"[SKIN]/folder.gif"` may be replaced by `"[SKIN]/folder_drop.gif"`).
    Parameters:
      `showDropIcons` - showDropIcons Default value is true

  - ### getShowDropIcons

    public Boolean getShowDropIcons()

  - ### setDataPageSize

    public ColumnTree setDataPageSize(int dataPageSize)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`

    &#010 If exportFields is not provided, the exported output includes all visible fields &#010 from this component, sorted as they appear.

    Specified by:
      `getExportFields` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Returns:
      the list of field-names to export.

  - ### setExportAll

    public ColumnTree setExportAll(Boolean exportAll)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Setting exportAll to true prevents the component from passing its list of fields to the &#010 export call. The result is the export of all visible fields from `fields`.&#010

    &#010 If exportAll is false, an export operation will first consider &#010 `exportFields`, if it's set, and fall back on all visible fields from&#010 `fields` otherwise.

    Specified by:
      `setExportAll` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `exportAll` - exportAll Default value is false
    Returns:
      `DataBoundComponent` instance, for chaining setter calls

  - ### getExportAll

    public Boolean getExportAll()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Setting exportAll to true prevents the component from passing its list of fields to the &#010 export call. The result is the export of all visible fields from `fields`.&#010

    &#010 If exportAll is false, an export operation will first consider &#010 `exportFields`, if it's set, and fall back on all visible fields from&#010 `fields` otherwise.

    Specified by:
      `getExportAll` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Returns:
      Boolean

  - ### setExportIncludeSummaries

    public ColumnTree setExportIncludeSummaries(Boolean exportIncludeSummaries)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    If Summary rows exist for this component, whether to include them when exporting client data. Defaults to true if not set
    Specified by:
      `setExportIncludeSummaries` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `exportIncludeSummaries` - exportIncludeSummaries Default value is true
    Returns:
      `DataBoundComponent` instance, for chaining setter calls

  - ### getExportIncludeSummaries

    public Boolean getExportIncludeSummaries()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    If Summary rows exist for this component, whether to include them when exporting client data. Defaults to true if not set
    Specified by:
      `getExportIncludeSummaries` in interface `DataBoundComponent`

  - ### setPreventDuplicates

    public ColumnTree setPreventDuplicates(Boolean preventDuplicates) throws IllegalStateException
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    If set, detect and prevent duplicate records from being transferred to this component, either via&#010 drag and drop or via `DataBoundComponent.transferSelectedData(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.DataBoundComponent)`. When a duplicate transfer is detected,&#010 a dialog will appear showing the `duplicateDragMessage`.&#010

    &#010 If the component either does not have a `DataSource` or has a DataSource with no&#010 `primaryKey` declared, duplicate checking is off by&#010 default. If duplicate checking is enabled, it looks for an existing record in the dataset&#010 that has all of the properties of the dragged record, and considers that a duplicate.&#010

    &#010 For `DragDataAction`:"copy" where the target DataSource is related to the source&#010 DataSource by foreignKey, a duplicate means that the target list, as filtered by the current&#010 criteria, already has a record whose value for the foreignKey field matches the&#010 primaryKey of the record being transferred.&#010

    &#010 For example, consider dragging "employees" to "teams", where "teams" has a field&#010 "teams.employeeId" which is a foreignKey pointing to "employees.id", and the target&#010 grid has search criteria causing it to show all the members of one team. A duplicate -&#010 adding an employee to the same team twice - is when the target grid's dataset contains an&#010 record with "employeeId" matching the "id" field of the dropped employee.

    Specified by:
      `setPreventDuplicates` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `preventDuplicates` - preventDuplicates Default value is null
    Returns:
      `DataBoundComponent` instance, for chaining setter calls
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - this property cannot be changed after the component has been created

  - ### getPreventDuplicates

    public Boolean getPreventDuplicates()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    If set, detect and prevent duplicate records from being transferred to this component, either via&#010 drag and drop or via `DataBoundComponent.transferSelectedData(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.DataBoundComponent)`.

    &#010 If the component either does not have a `DataSource` or has a DataSource with no&#010 `primaryKey` declared, duplicate checking is off by&#010 default. If duplicate checking is enabled, it looks for an existing record in the dataset&#010 that has all of the properties of the dragged record, and considers that a duplicate.&#010

    &#010 For `DragDataAction`:"copy" where the target DataSource is related to the source&#010 DataSource by foreignKey, a duplicate means that the target list, as filtered by the current&#010 criteria, already has a record whose value for the foreignKey field matches the&#010 primaryKey of the record being transferred.&#010

    &#010 For example, consider dragging "employees" to "teams", where "teams" has a field&#010 "teams.employeeId" which is a foreignKey pointing to "employees.id", and the target&#010 grid has search criteria causing it to show all the members of one team.

    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Indicates whether to add "drop values" to items dropped on this component, if both the source and target widgets are databound, either to the same DataSource or to different DataSources that are related via a foreign key. "Drop values" are properties of the dropped item that you wish to change (and persist) as a result of the item being dropped on this grid.

    If this value is true and this component is databound, `DataBoundComponent.getDropValues()` will be called for every databound item dropped on this grid, and an update performed on the item

    Specified by:
      `setAddDropValues` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `addDropValues` - addDropValues Default value is true
    Returns:
      `DataBoundComponent` instance, for chaining setter calls

  - ### getAddDropValues

    public Boolean getAddDropValues()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Indicates whether to add "drop values" to items dropped on this component, if both the source and target widgets are databound, either to the same DataSource or to different DataSources that are related via a foreign key. "Drop values" are properties of the dropped item that you wish to change (and persist) as a result of the item being dropped on this grid.

    If this value is true and this component is databound, `DataBoundComponent.getDropValues()` will be called for every databound item dropped on this grid, and an update performed on the item

    Specified by:
      `getAddDropValues` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Returns:
      Boolean

  - ### setDropValues

    public ColumnTree setDropValues(Map dropValues)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    When an item is dropped on this component, and `addDropValues` is true and both the source and target widgets are databound, either to the same DataSource or to different DataSources that are related via a foreign key, this object provides the "drop values" that Smart GWT will apply to the dropped object before updating it.

    If this property is not defined, Smart GWT defaults to returning the selection criteria currently in place for this component. Thus, any databound items (for example, rows from other grids bound to the same DataSource) dropped on the grid will, by default, be subjected to an update that makes them conform to the grid's current filter criteria.

    Note : This is an advanced setting

    Specified by:
      `setDropValues` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `dropValues` - dropValues Default value is null
    Returns:
      `DataBoundComponent` instance, for chaining setter calls

  - ### getDropValues

    public Map getDropValues()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    When an item is dropped on this component, and `addDropValues` is true and both the source and target widgets are databound, either to the same DataSource or to different DataSources that are related via a foreign key, this object provides the "drop values" that Smart GWT will apply to the dropped object before updating it.

    If this property is not defined, Smart GWT defaults to returning the selection criteria currently in place for this component. Thus, any databound items (for example, rows from other grids bound to the same DataSource) dropped on the grid will, by default, be subjected to an update that makes them conform to the grid's current filter criteria.

    Note : This is an advanced setting

    Specified by:
      `getDropValues` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Returns:
      Returns the "drop values" to apply to a record dropped on this component prior to update. Only&#010 applicable to databound components - see `dropValues` for more details. If multiple records &#010 are being dropped, this method is called for each of them in turn.&#010

      &#010 This method returns the following:&#010

      &#010
      - Nothing, if `addDropValues` is false
      &#010
      - dropValues, if that property is set. If the component's criteria object is applicable (as explained&#010 in the next item), it is merged into dropValues, with properties in dropValues taking precedence.
      &#010
      - The component's criteria object, if the most recent textMatchStyle for the component was "exact" &#010 and it is simple criteria (ie, not an AdvancedCriteria object)
      &#010
      - Otherwise nothing
      &#010
      &#010

      &#010 You can override this method if you need more complex setting of drop values than can be &#010 provided by simply supplying a dropValues object.&#010 &#010

  - ### setProgressiveLoading

      - `DataSource.setProgressiveLoading(java.lang.Boolean)`

  - ### getProgressiveLoading

    public Boolean getProgressiveLoading()
    Indicates whether or not this component will load its data `progressively`
    Returns:
    See Also:
      - `ProgressiveLoading`
      - `DataSource.getProgressiveLoading()`

  - ### setUseFlatFields

    public ColumnTree setUseFlatFields(Boolean useFlatFields) throws IllegalStateException
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    The `useFlatFields` flag causes all simple type fields anywhere in a nested&#010 set of DataSources to be exposed as a flat list for form binding. &#010

    &#010 `useFlatFields` is typically used with imported metadata, such as &#010 `XMLTools.loadXMLSchema(java.lang.String, com.smartgwt.client.data.XSDLoadCallback)` from a &#010 `XMLTools.loadWSDL(java.lang.String, com.smartgwt.client.data.WSDLLoadCallback)`, as a means of eliminating levels of XML&#010 nesting that aren't meaningful in a user interface, without the cumbersome and fragile&#010 process of mapping form fields to XML structures.&#010

    &#010 For example, having called `WebService.getInputDS(java.lang.String)` to retrieve the input message&#010 schema for a web service operation whose input message looks like this:&#010

        &#010 <FindServices>&#010     <searchFor>search text</searchFor>&#010     <Options>&#010         <caseSensitive>false</caseSensitive>&#010     </Options>&#010     <IncludeInSearch>&#010         <serviceName>true</serviceName>&#010         <documentation>true</documentation>&#010         <keywords>true</keywords>&#010     </IncludeInSearch>&#010 </FindServices>&#010

    &#010 Setting `useFlatFields` on a `DynamicForm` that is bound to this input&#010 message schema would result in 5 `FormItem` reflecting the 5 simple type&#010 fields in the message.&#010

    &#010 For this form, the result of `DynamicForm.getValues()` might look&#010 like:&#010

    &#010

        {&#010    searchFor: "search text",&#010    caseSensitive: false,&#010    serviceName: true,&#010    documentation : true,&#010    keywords : true&#010 }

    &#010 When contacting a `WebService`, these values can be automatically&#010 mapped to the structure of the input message for a web service operation by setting&#010 {@link com.smartgwt.client..WSRequest#getUseFlatFields useFlatFields} (for use with `WebService.callOperation(java.lang.String, java.util.Map, java.lang.String, com.smartgwt.client.data.WebServiceCallback)`) or by setting&#010 `useFlatFields` (for use with a `DataSource` that is&#010 `'bound to a WSDL web service'` via&#010 `wsOperation`). &#010

    &#010 Using these two facilities in conjunction (component.useFlatFields and&#010 request.useFlatFields) allows gratuitous nesting to be consistently bypassed in both the user&#010 presentation and when providing the data for XML messages.&#010

    &#010 You can also set `useFlatFields` to automatically enable &#010 "flattened" XML serialization (request.useFlatFields) for all DataSource requests of a&#010 particular operationType.&#010

    &#010 Note that `useFlatFields` is not generally recommended for use with structures&#010 where multiple simple type fields exist with the same name, however if used with such a&#010 structure, the first field to use a given name wins. "first" means the first field&#010 encountered in a depth first search. "wins" means only the first field will be present as a&#010 field when data binding.

    Specified by:
      `setUseFlatFields` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `useFlatFields` - useFlatFields Default value is null
    Returns:
      `DataBoundComponent` instance, for chaining setter calls
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - this property cannot be changed after the component has been created

  - ### getUseFlatFields

  - ### setSavedSearchId

    public ColumnTree setSavedSearchId(String savedSearchId)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Optional identifier for saved searches that should be applied to this component.

    By default `SavedSearches` are associated with a component via its `local ID` and `DataSource ID`. This property allows developers to override this behavior and explicitly associate a component with a set of saved searches. This can provide a couple of benefits:
    Firstly this ensures that saved searches will be unambiguously associated with the particular component even if the page changes such that a stored minimal locator would no longer applied to the component, without requiring an explicit `Canvas.ID`.
    Secondly this allows the same set of saved searches to be applied to more than one component on a page. This may be valueable for cases where the same information from the same dataSource is presented to users in multiple places.

    Note: This is an advanced setting.

    Specified by:
      `setSavedSearchId` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `savedSearchId` - New savedSearchId value. Default value is null
    Returns:

    This method is consulted by&#010 `ListGrid.willAcceptDrop()`.

    Returns:
      Array of `Record`s that are currently selected.

  - ### transferSelectedData

    public void transferSelectedData(DataBoundComponent source)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Simulates a drag / drop type transfer of the selected records in some other component to this component, without requiring any user interaction. This method acts on the dropped records exactly as if they had been dropped in an actual drag / drop interaction, including any special databound behavior invoked by calling `DataBoundComponent.getDropValues()` for each dropped record.

    To transfer all data in, for example, a `ListGrid`, call grid.selection.selectAll() first.

    Note that drag/drop type transfers of records between components are asynchronous operations: Smart GWT may need to perform server turnarounds to establish whether dropped records already exist in the target component. Therefore, it is possible to issue a call to `transferSelectedData()` and/or the `drop()` method of a databound component whilst a transfer is still active. When this happens, Smart GWT adds the second and subsequent transfer requests to a queue and runs them one after the other. If you want to be notified when a transfer process has actually completed, use `HasDropCompleteHandlers.addDropCompleteHandler(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.events.DropCompleteHandler)`. See the `Dragging` documentation for an overview of list grid drag/drop data transfer.

    Specified by:
      `transferSelectedData` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `source` - source component from which the records will be tranferred

      Current implicitCriteria value. Default value is null

  - ### fetchData

    public void fetchData()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Retrieves data from the DataSource that matches the specified criteria.

    When `fetchData()` is first called, if data has not already been provided via `setData()`, this method will create a `ResultSet`, which will be configured based on component settings such as `fetchOperation` and `dataPageSize`, as well as the general purpose `dataProperties`. The created ResultSet will automatically send a DSRequest to retrieve data from the dataSource, and from then on will automatically manage paging through large datasets, as well as performing filtering and sorting operations inside the browser when possible - see the ResultSet docs for details.

    NOTE: do not use both `autoFetchData` and a call to `fetchData()` - this may result in two DSRequests to fetch data. Use either `autoFetchData` and `setAutoFetchCriteria()` or a manual call to fetchData() passing criteria.

    Whether a ResultSet was automatically created or provided via `setData()`, subsequent calls to fetchData() will simply call `resultSet.setCriteria()`.

    Changes to criteria may or may not result in a DSRequest to the server due to client-side filtering. You can call `willFetchData(criteria)` to determine if new criteria will result in a server fetch.

    If you need to force data to be re-fetched, you can call `invalidateCache()` and new data will automatically be fetched from the server using the current criteria and sort direction. NOTE: when using `invalidateCache()` there is no need to also call `fetchData()` and in fact this could produce unexpected results.

    This method takes an optional callback parameter (set to a `DSCallback`) to fire when the fetch completes. Note that this callback will not fire if no server fetch is performed. In this case the data is updated synchronously, so as soon as this method completes you can interact with the new data. If necessary, you can use `resultSet.willFetchData()` to determine whether or not a server fetch will occur when `fetchData()` is called with new criteria.

    In addition to the callback parameter for this method, developers can use `resultSet.addDataArrivedHandler` to be notified every time data is loaded.

      `fetchData` in interface `DataBoundComponent`

  - ### filterData

    public void filterData()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Retrieves data that matches the provided criteria and displays the matching data in this component.

    This method behaves exactly like `ListGrid.fetchData()` except that `textMatchStyle` is automatically set to "substring" so that String-valued fields are matched by case-insensitive substring comparison.

    Specified by:
      `filterData` in interface `DataBoundComponent`

  - ### filterData

    public void filterData(Criteria criteria)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`

    This method behaves exactly like `ListGrid.fetchData()` except that `textMatchStyle` is automatically set to "substring" so that String-valued fields are matched by case-insensitive substring comparison.

    Specified by:
      `filterData` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `criteria` - Search criteria. If a `DynamicForm` is passed in as this argument instead of a raw criteria object, will be derived by calling `DynamicForm.getValuesAsCriteria()`

  - ### filterData

    public void filterData(Criteria criteria, DSCallback callback)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Retrieves data that matches the provided criteria and displays the matching data in this component.

    This method behaves exactly like `ListGrid.fetchData()` except that `textMatchStyle` is automatically set to "substring" so that String-valued fields are matched by case-insensitive substring comparison.

    Specified by:
      `filterData` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `criteria` - Search criteria. If a `DynamicForm` is passed in as this argument instead of a raw criteria object, will be derived by calling `DynamicForm.getValuesAsCriteria()`
      `callback` - callback to invoke when a fetch is complete. Fires only if server contact was required; see `DataBoundComponent.fetchData()` for details

  - ### filterData

    public void filterData(Criteria criteria, DSCallback callback, DSRequest requestProperties)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Retrieves data that matches the provided criteria and displays the matching data in this component.

    This method behaves exactly like `ListGrid.fetchData()` except that `textMatchStyle` is automatically set to "substring" so that String-valued fields are matched by case-insensitive substring comparison.

    Specified by:
      `filterData` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `criteria` - Search criteria. If a `DynamicForm` is passed in as this argument instead of a raw criteria object, will be derived by calling `DynamicForm.getValuesAsCriteria()`
      `callback` - callback to invoke when a fetch is complete. Fires only if server contact was required; see `DataBoundComponent.fetchData()` for details
      `requestProperties` - for databound components only - optional additional properties to set on the DSRequest that will be issued

  - ### invalidateCache

    public void invalidateCache()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Invalidate the current data cache for this databound component via a call to the dataset's `invalidateCache()` method, for example, `ResultSet.invalidateCache()`.

    NOTE: there is no need to call `invalidateCache()` when a save operation is performed on a DataSource. Automatic cache synchronization features will automatically update caches - see `ResultSet` for details. If automatic cache synchronization isn't working, troubleshoot the problem using the steps suggested in the FAQ rather than just calling invalidateCache(). Calling `invalidateCache()` unnecessarily causes extra server load and added code complexity.

    Calling `invalidateCache()` will automatically cause a new fetch to be performed with the current set of criteria if data had been previously fetched and the component is currently drawn with data visible - there is no need to manually call fetchData() after invalidateCache() and this could result in duplicate fetches.

    While data is being re-loaded after a call to `invalidateCache()`, the widget is in a state similar to initial data load - it doesn't know the total length of the dataset and any APIs that act on records or row indices will necessarily fail and should not be called. To detect that the widget is in this state, call `ResultSet.lengthIsKnown()`.

    `invalidateCache()` only has an effect if this component's dataset is a data manager class that manages a cache (eg ResultSet or ResultTree). If data was provided as a simple Array or List, invalidateCache() does nothing.

    Specified by:
      `invalidateCache` in interface `DataBoundComponent`

      - `ListGrid.refreshData()`
      - `DataBoundComponentMethods overview and related methods`

  - ### getResultSet

    public ResultSet getResultSet()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Return the underlying data of this DataBoundComponent as a `ResultSet`.

    Note that this method should only be called after initial data has been fetched by this DataBoundComponent.

    Specified by:
      `getResultSet` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Returns:
      ResultSet, or null if the underlying data is not a ResultSet
    See Also:
      - `DataBoundComponent.fetchData()`

  - ### getRecordList

    public RecordList getRecordList()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Return the underlying data of this DataBoundComponent as a `RecordList`.

    Depending on the component configuration, the actual JavaScript instance of the returned RecordList may be one of several types:

    - If the component is not bound to a `DataSource`, the instance is generally an Array of `Record`.
    - If the component is bound to a DataSource, the instance is a `ResultSet`.
    - If the component is a grouped ListGrid, the instance is a `Tree`. To access the ungrouped record list regardless of grouping status, use

          isGrouped() ? getOriginalRecordList() : getRecordList()

    - If the component is a `TreeGrid`, the instance is a ResultTree.
    The underlying type determines the structure of the returned data. An Array or ResultSet represents a list of records, but a Tree or ResultTree represents a list of open rows in the tree, including groups or other nodes which contain no records.
    Specified by:
      `getRecordList` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Returns:
      the RecordList

    public void exportData(DSRequest requestProperties)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    See `DataBoundComponent.exportData(com.smartgwt.client.data.DSRequest,com.smartgwt.client.rpc.RPCCallback)`
    Specified by:
      `exportData` in interface `DataBoundComponent`

  - ### exportData

    public void exportData(DSRequest requestProperties, RPCCallback callback)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Uses a "fetch" operation on the current `DataSource` to retrieve data that matches the current filter and sort criteria for this component, then exports the resulting data to a file or window in the requested format.

    A variety of DSRequest settings, such as `exportAs` and `exportFilename`, affect the exporting process: see `exportResults` for further detail.

    Note that data exported via this method does not include any client-side formatting and relies on both the Smart GWT server and server-side DataSources. To export client-data with formatters applied, see `exportClientData`, which still requires the Smart GWT server but does not rely on server-side DataSources.

    For more information on exporting data, see `DataSource.exportData`.

    Specified by:
      `exportData` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `requestProperties` - additional properties to set on DSRequest that will be issued
      `callback` - Optional callback. Note that this parameter only applies if you specify `exportToClient`: false in the request properties, because file downloads don't provide ordinary framework callbacks

    Parameters:
      `handler` - the DropCompleteHandler
    Returns:
      `HandlerRegistration` used to remove this handler

  - ### addDragCompleteHandler

    public HandlerRegistration addDragCompleteHandler(DragCompleteHandler handler)
    Add a `com.smartgwt.client.widgets.DragCompleteHandler`. See that class's documentation for a definition of "drag complete", and how it differs from "drop complete" (`com.smartgwt.client.widgets.DropCompleteHandler`).

  - ### getDeepCloneOnEdit

    public Boolean getDeepCloneOnEdit()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Before we start editing values in this DataBoundComponent, should we perform a deep clone of the underlying values. See `DataSource.getDeepCloneOnEdit()` for details of what this means.

    If this value is not explicitly set, it defaults to the DataSource `deepCloneOnEdit` value. This value can also be overridden per-field with `DataSourceField.setDeepCloneOnEdit(java.lang.Boolean)`.

    Like the other `deepCloneOnEdit` settings, this flag only has an effect if you are editing a values object that contains nested objects or arrays, using `Canvas.setDataPath(java.lang.String)`

    Specified by:
      `getDeepCloneOnEdit` in interface `DataBoundComponent`

  - ### setDeepCloneOnEdit

    public ColumnTree setDeepCloneOnEdit(Boolean deepCloneOnEdit)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Before we start editing values in this DataBoundComponent, should we perform a deep clone of the underlying values. See `DataSource.getDeepCloneOnEdit()` for details of what this means.

    If this value is not explicitly set, it defaults to the DataSource `deepCloneOnEdit` value. This value can also be overridden per-field with `DataSourceField.setDeepCloneOnEdit(java.lang.Boolean)`.

    Like the other `deepCloneOnEdit` settings, this flag only has an effect if you are editing a values object that contains nested objects or arrays, using `Canvas.setDataPath(java.lang.String)`

    Specified by:
      `setDeepCloneOnEdit` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Returns:
      `DataBoundComponent` instance, for chaining setter calls

  - ### setFields

    public ColumnTree setFields(JavaScriptObject... fields)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Field setter variant (alternative to `setFields(FormItem...)`, `setFields(ListGridField...)`, etc.) that will accept an array of JavaScriptObject, rather than an array of SmartGWT Java wrappers of the field class type (e.g. `FormItem`, `ListGridField`, etc.) This is an advanced method and only for cases where you have the JavaScriptObject for each field but want to avoid having to create each associated SmartGWT Java wrapper.

    Note: use `toArray()` to create a Java array of JavaScriptObject if you only have the array itself as a single JavaScriptObject.

    Specified by:
      `setFields` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `fields` - the component fields
    Returns:
      `DataBoundComponent` instance, for chaining setter calls

  - ### getFieldsAsJavaScriptObjects

    public JavaScriptObject[] getFieldsAsJavaScriptObjects()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Return the fields as JavaScriptObjects rather than as SmartGWT Java wrappers of the field class type (e.g. `FormItem`, `ListGridField`, etc.) This avoids building the SmartGWT Java wrappers for the fields in situations where they aren't needed - and for FormItems in particular - where there may not be enough information to determine the correct subclass, such as before the SmartClient instance underlying the `DynamicForm` has been created.
    Specified by:
      `getFieldsAsJavaScriptObjects` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Returns:
      the component fields

  - ### getFieldCount

    public int getFieldCount()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Return the number of fields.
    Specified by:
      `getFieldCount` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Returns:
      the number of fields

  - ### transferRecords

    public void transferRecords(Record[] records, Record targetRecord, Integer index, Canvas sourceWidget, TransferRecordsCallback callback)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Transfer a list of `Record`s from another component (does not have to be a databound component) into this component. This method is only applicable to list-type components, such as `ListGrid` or `com.smartgwt.client.widgets.tile.TileGridTileGrid`. Notably, it does not apply to `TreeGrid`; the equivalent for treeGrids is `transferNodes`.

    This method implements the automatic drag-copy and drag-move behaviors of components like `ListGrid`, and calling it is equivalent to completing a drag and drop of the `dropRecords` (the default record drop behavior is simply to call `transferRecords()`, passing in the dropped nodes)

    Note that this method is asynchronous - it may need to perform server turnarounds to prevent duplicates in the target component's data. If you wish to be notified when the transfer process has completed, you can either pass a non-null callback to this method or add a `DropCompleteHandler` to this component.

    See also `transferSelectedData()`

    Specified by:
      `transferRecords` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `records` - Recordss to transfer to this component
      `targetRecord` - The target record (eg, of a drop interaction), for context
      `index` - Insert point relative to the target record for the transferred records
      `sourceWidget` - The databound or non-databound component from which the records are to be transferred.
      `callback` - optional TransferRecordsCallback to be fired when the transfer process has completed (pass null if your code does not need to be called back). The callback will be passed the list of records actually transferred to this component

  - ### setDragDataCustomizer

    public ColumnTree setDragDataCustomizer(DragDataCustomizer customizer)
    During a drag-and-drop interaction, this method returns the set of records being dragged out of the component. In the default implementation, this is the list of currently selected records.

    This method is consulted by `willAcceptDrop()`.

    Parameters:
      `DragDataCustomizer` - customizer
    Returns:
      `DataBoundComponent` instance, for chaining setter calls

  - ### getSort

    public SortSpecifier[] getSort()
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Returns the current `SortSpecifiers` for this component. Will return null if this component has never been sorted, or the underlying SmartClient widget does not exist.
    Specified by:
      `getSort` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Returns:
      current sort specifiers for this component (null if unsorted or no SC widget)

  - ### setSort

    public ColumnTree setSort(SortSpecifier... sortSpecifiers)
    Description copied from interface: `DataBoundComponent`
    Sort the component on one or more fields.

    Pass in an array of `SortSpecifier`s to have the component's data sorted by the fields in each `specifier.property` and in the directions specified. The component can be sorted by any combination of fields, including fields specified in the fields array and `unused fields from the underlying dataSource`, if there is one.

    If setSort() is called on a component which doesn't yet have a SmartClient widget, the widget will be created. If `autoFetchData` is set and a `DataSource` has been set, this will result in data being fetched.

    Specified by:
      `setSort` in interface `DataBoundComponent`
    Parameters:
      `sortSpecifiers` - Array of `SortSpecifier` objects

  - ### setLogicalStructure
