## Description

A column specification control is a dialog element that defines the columns in a table control. (A table control is a dialog element that represents a spreadsheet.) Once the table control defines the spreadsheet as such, its columns are defined by adding column-specification controls.

## COLUMN-TYPEs and their Attributes

The attributes that are valid for column specification controls in general are not always available depending on the value of the attribute COLUMN-TYPE. Such a value might be, for example, "toggle button control". The column then consists of cells that can be used like toggle button controls. For these toggle-button cells, only a subset of the attributes is available.

The following table specifies which attributes are not applicable to a COLUMN-TYPE.

COLUMN-TYPE | Attributes NOT Available
--- | ---
Input field control | (All available.)
Selection box control | (All available.)
Selection box item | DIL-TEXT, HELP-ID, LENGTH, MODIFIABLE, STYLE, SUPPRESS-CHANGE-EVENT, SUPPRESS-CLICK-EVENT, SUPPRESS-DBL-CLICK-EVENT, SUPPRESS-ENTER-EVENT, SUPPRESS-ENTER-CELL-EVENT, SUPPRESS-LEAVE-EVENT, SUPPRESS-LEAVE-CELL-EVENT, VISIBLE.
Toggle button control | LENGTH, STYLE, MODIFIABLE.
