Hello,
I am trying to have one column of jface table as hyperlinks. I also
have 4 other columns of normal text strings using jface
columnlabelprovider to render the text on those columns.
One of the column which I want to display as hyperlink I dont use
ColumnLabelProvider for it, instead my columnlabelprovider just retruns
empty string for it. but I use the following way to insert hyperlinks
into it.
( in a for loop){
TableItem[] tableItems = table.getItems();//get tableItems
Hyperlink link = new Hyperlink(table, SWT.WRAP);
link.setText( some text);
TableEditor editor = new TableEditor(table);
editor.setEditor(link, tableItem[n], 0);//set hyperlinks in column 0
}
The issue with above approach is that if the width of hyperlink is
longer than the column it goes into next column. Where is the desired
behaviour is that it should show ellipsis(and tool tip of hidden text)
if it goes over the width of the column. Which is the normal behaviour
of other text string columns handled by jface columnlabelprovider.
The issue is that I couldnt find any jface interface for
columnlabelprovider which would return a widget instead of string for
its string getelement() method.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Zeeshan

It will be a while till I implement it, for now my manager is happy with
a workaround of resizing the table column, which I did, but once I have
time eventually I will have to try your suggestion. Could be few months
before I try your suggestion.
