I only need to work with :
datatable.setRowIndex (5);
datatable.getRowData();
when I want to extend the component ?
Thanks for your time passed ro responding :)

Hi,
As Cosma explained before, all the control is done using a datamodel,
even if you bind a list object as the value of a uidata, it is wrapped
as a ListDataModel object. For example when you call
datatable.setRowIndex (5);
datatable.getRowData();
At UIData, it leads to
getDataModel().setRowIndex(5);
getDataModel().getRowData();
At DataModel it finally refers to;
setRowIndex(5); // sets row index
getRowData(); //finally returns list.get(rowIndex);

Well Cosma first thanks for your explanation, if I understand
well, all
components have to extend UIData and we can set to every components a
dataModel?
