The ColumnField class is a stack field that is a column within a table field. Column fields cannot exist independently of table fields.

The ColumnField class provides access to the visual attributes of an individual column in a table field. You cannot access the component fields of a column field or the ChildFields array for the ColumnField object directly.

For information about accessing individual cells in a table field, see CellAttribute Class (see CellAttribute Class). For information about the reference syntax for column fields and other parts of a table field, see the Programming Guide.

In addition to visual characteristics, you can use the ColumnField reference to:

You must name the column field and specify its data type. If the table field that contains the column field is associated with a named class definition, the column field must be mapped to one of the attributes of the class.
