SWT table filtering [message #502694]

Hi,

I'm using SWT Table component without any JFace top level component.

I have a populated table and a simple Text input where I can write a key word search. I want to implement table filtering feature using only SWT components (no JFace please because I'm using NetBeans) or an appropriate API.

How can I do this ?

In fact I tried the GlazedLists API but its tutorial is dedicated to Swing and the only example that I found contains a JFace TableViewer.

Thanks in advance.

If you don't want to use the jface viewer API, you have to write your
own viewer, because the SWT widgets are free of concepts like filtering,
sorting, and the like. So what you need to do is to introduce a layer
between your model and the widget that contains the filtered
data (and of-course some API to add/remove filters) which also ensures
that the SWT table content is refreshed after filter or model changes.
