Ideas for navigation from table cells? [message #486341]

Hi,
I need a UI which allows to edit a cell inside a table and also to
navigate from that cell, similar to the behavior of input fields in the
plugin editor which provide navigaiton from the labels.

The cell should allow the user:

1. Inplace editing (and content assist)

2. Create a new object

3. Navigate to the object

Any ideas?

Thanks

JFace + Eclipse Databinding provides all to you:
* CellEditor for editing (e.g. content assisstant shown in [1])

* Cell Navigation for navigation shown in [2]

* Not sure what you mean with Object creation but I guess you should use
the Commands Framework for this purpose and e.g. use the Eclipse
Databinding Support for JFace Viewers

Hi Tom and Grant,
Thanks for your examples.
I didn't explain myself correctly. What I meant by navigation was to click on the cell and open another editor. For example I have the name of a class which I can edit inplace but also I want to be able to open it in another editor. (Navigate to that class) Like in the plug-in editor which allows you to navigate from a input field by clicking the label.

Do you have an example for such a use case?

Thanks,
Eitan
