Get column_labels from widget_table? [message #94344]

I have an application where the column_labels of the table is set due to interaction during the session. Then I use

widget_control, myTable, COLUMN_LABELS=theNewLabels

But then I'd like to copy the table to clipboard at any time and then I'd like to retrieve the column_labels to include these in the copied table, but I cannot find an option to get these out of the system. Not With widget_info and not With widget_control.

Any ideas?

Off the top of my head I'm not sure there is a way to get the column labels back, but a quick and dirty solution would be to write a table object encapsulating the table widget, and you could keep track of the column labels yourself.

I wrote something like this. Check out the "wmb_tablewindow" object in my IDL library:

Yes - this was the dirty solution I was hoping to avoid, but it seems like the only way around.
