how to select row number in JFace TableViewer [message #331180]

org.eclipse.jface.viewers.TableViewer's super (StructuredViewer) has this
method: public void setSelection(ISelection selection, boolean reveal),
but all I want is to select the i-th row in the TableViewer. What is the
best way to do it? Why isn't there a method called setSelection(int row)?
Thanks!

viewer.setSelection(new StructuredSelection(viewer.getElementAt(pos)),true);

viewer.setSelection(new
StructuredSelection(viewer.getElementAt(pos)),true);

Thank you very much. This solution works great for an eager loading
Table. However, when I convert the Table to lazy loading with
SWT.VIRTUAL, viewer.getElementAt(pos) returns null. Does the current
version provide a solution to this, and if so, could you give me a hint to
research? Thanks!

Well, you can maybe use the SWT-API:

Table#setTopIndex(int) => Scrolls item into view => Materialize =>
Table#getItem()#getData() holds your model element => you can set the
selection.

This is just theory so I can guarantee that it works at all.

Thank you, that is a great idea! I tried hard to implement it, and it I
just can't get the elements to "materialize" as they say in the literature.

So I punted and used KTable from Sourceforge. It worked pretty well for
two reasons. It lets me manipulate rows based on index, i.e., it is
index-based instead of object-based. And it is always lazy loading, even
for small tables.

Still am wondering why I can't get it to materialize, but have to hit a
deadline. :( Thanks
