Table [message #101793]

Hi;

I have been developing a standalone GUI builder for SWT. I have just
riched the point to create properties table for my beans editing. But
using the JFace table viewer, it only allows the define columns related
CellEditor. But my requirement is that created CellEditor in each row
according to the property of the bean in the row. For example let say bean
X have two properties 1. Text (StringCellEditor with text)
2. Visible(ComboCellEditor with TRUE or FALSE)

There must be two columns in the property table
1. Name (name of the property)
2. Value (value of the property).

Then the first row value column will be StringCellEditor and second row
of the value column will be the ComboCellEditor. I can't achieved this by
using the JFace. Is there any way to accomplish this task?

I looked at the project XSWT, it creates table from the scratch using the
Graphics and huge amount of code. Could I use this code in my commerical
project?

Thanks for advance

Um, you only waited a minute and a half, you are unlikely to get an
answer to any question that quickly. As far as your question about XSWT,
its distributed under the CPL, and from a quick read of it it looks
like you could. Read section 4, COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION for yourself.

The correct place would probably be the XSWT mailing list.

Hi nightblue,

It's more of a JFace question you're asking I think. Try the
org.eclipse.platform newsgroup to see if you can hook one of the JFace
developers. This newsgroup is more for stuff related to the VE itself
so you might get an answer from someone who has the answer.

The way the table works is to render everything but only create an edit
when it needs to which is when you select a column. By default I think
the JFace Table just supports one editor over one cell, but it should be
possible to just debug it and understand how it does this and subclas it
or create your own viewer that supports multiple editors on separate
columns.

Best reagrds,

Joe Winchester
