Is there any way to get the index of an HtmlColumn in a Html

[gibiman]

Hi ,



I have a reference to the binding attribute of the HtmlColumn , by invoking event.getComponent().getParent() on a ValueChangeEvent object.


What i cannot do is get the actual index of the column which launched the valueChangeEvent . I wouldn't want to get the column using the Id .



This is my code :

<rich:column>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="Nume Atribut 1" />
 </f:facet>
 <rich:inplaceInput layout="block"
 value="#{tipProdus.atributAditional1}" id="inplace1"
 changedHoverClass="hover" viewHoverClass="hover"
 viewClass="inplace" changedClass="inplace" selectOnEdit="true"
 editEvent="ondblclick">

 <a4j:support event="onviewactivated" reRender="table" />

 </rich:inplaceInput>
 <h:selectOneMenu styleClass="selectTipAtribut"

 value="#{tipProdus.tipAtributAditional1 }"
 valueChangeListener="#{gestionareTipProdusPageBean.selectieTipAtribut}">
 <f:selectItems
 value="#{gestionareTipProdusPageBean.tipuriAtribute }" />
 <a4j:support
 reRender="editareListaPanel" event="onchange">
 <f:param name="rowNo" value="#{row}" />
 <f:param name="xx" value="xxx" />
 </a4j:support>


 </h:selectOneMenu>
 <h:outputText value="#{tipProdus.atributAditional1}" />
 </rich:column>

Any thoughts or opinions are more than welcomed .

Found a rather not-fancy way :

HtmlColumn column = (HtmlColumn) event.getComponent().getParent();
HtmlDataTable ht = new HtmlDataTable();
 Iterator<UIComponent> columnsIterator = ht.columns();
 int i = -1;
 while ( columnsIterator.hasNext() ){
 i++;
 if ( columnsIterator.next() == column ){
 logger.debug("Found column at index :"+i);
 break;
 }
 }

Thanks,
