Custom Editors [message #900319]

Hey everyone,

which is the way to go for some custom cell editors?
Looking at http://eclipse.org/nattable/documentation.php?page=editing there are three predefined editors which may be used.

So, if I extend the AbstractCellEditor and implement the method:

activateCell(Composite parent, Object originalCanonicalValue, Character initialEditValue);

with my custom editor would that do the trick?

I would really appreciate some help on this, thanks in advance.

Hi,

this depends on what kind of editor you want to create? As you may have read in the documentation, every cell editor comes with a painter. So you may want to add a custom painter to your custom cell editor. And you need to register your custom cell editor to the UiBindingRegistry like this

uiBindingRegistry.registerFirstSingleClickBinding(
    new BodyCellEditorMouseEventMatcher(MyCellEditor.class), 
    new MouseEditAction());

so your editor will be activated on mouse click.

There is also a cell editor that is yet undocumented as it is not officially released. The PasswordCellEditor with a PasswordTextPainter. Just in case you need something like that.

Greez,
Dirk

Hey Dirk,
We have some custom popup dialogs for editing collections which I am trying to integrate.
The uiBindingRegistry is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much!

Regards,

Marcus
