I have a program in which I will display a sequence of characters, for
example:
...
123456
123456789
82838347
...
These strings will be rows within a tableview. Now, I also want to be
able to manipulate an entire column at once as well. For example, I
would like to take the entire third column of the string and move it to
be the first column through dragging and dropping:
...
312456
312456789
88238347
...
Or, possibly insert a new character, such as a space, in all of them:
...
31 2456
31 2456789
88 238347
...
My first inclination was to have a tableview with as many columns as
characters in the biggest string. That way you can easily shift the
columns around and rearrange the characters. Also, in this fashion you
can also select a certain column, and after you type a character in, a
new column can be generated with that character (such as a space).
Is this efficient? The strings will contain several hundred
characters. So is it better to simulate this in some other fashion?
