once you have a column, you can get various properties of it: column.index - the index of the column in displayed order column.id - the id attribute of the column column.element - the treecol element column.x - the x position in the tree of the left edge of the column column.width - the width of the column in c++ code, you can also get the atom attribute of nsitreecolumn which returns an nsiatom for the column, making it fast to do comparisons.
