• TableView Class
  •  TableColumn: a column in a TableRow
  • TableRow: inherits IndexedCell Class
  • • TableCell
  • • TablePosition
  • TableView.TableViewFocusModel
  • TableView.TableViewSelectionModel
• The columns in TableView has sorting properties 
• In this example all column has  javafx.beans.property.SimpleStringProperty;
