The VP Get table column attributes command returns the current attributes of the specified column in the tableName.

In vpAreaName, pass the name of the 4D View Pro area.

In sheet, pass the index of the target sheet. If no index is specified or if you pass -1, the command applies to the current sheet.

Indexing starts at 0.

The command returns an object describing the current attributes of the column:

Property	Type	Description
dataField	text	Table column's property name in the data context. Not returned if the table is displayed automatically
name	text	Table column's name.
footerText	text	Column footer value.
footerFormula	text	Column footer formula.
filterButtonVisible	boolean	True if the table column's filter button is displayed, False otherwise.

If tableName is not found or if column index is higher than the number of columns, the command returns null.
