Hi,
I am using Eclipse 3.4RC3.
I have a Text field, which is connected to a String property via data
binding like this:
--
IObservable observable = ... ; // bound to my String property
Text name=new Text(parent, SWT.NONE);
UpdateValueStrategy targetToModelStrategy=new UpdateValueStrategy();
targetToModelStrategy.setConverter(new TrimWhiteSpaceConverter());
IObservableValue textObserveWidget=SWTObservables.observeText(name,
SWT.FocusOut);
dataBindingContext.bindValue(textObserveWidget, observable,
targetToModelStrategy, null);
--
This should trim whitespace (leading and trailing) from the value
entered into the Text field.
Now, this works fine for updating the model, when I enter " Test " into
the Text field, the model gets updated with "Test" (note: whitespace
removed).
What does not work: the value in the Text field stays " Test ".
There must be a simple way to make the Text field also be updated with
the value after conversion. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Christoph Jäger

You'll need to call do this manually after your model is updated by calling:
Binding#updateModelToTarget()
