I'd like to get a some of the swt TextEditor behavior in a Ktable.

Besides just using StyledText for the text display, does anyone know if it
would be possible to just put a AbstractDecoratedTextEditor (or anything
like it) in a cell?

I'd really like to get Content Assist to work without having to do too much
wiring myself.

Hi,

That should be absolutely possible.

Try implementing a KTableCellEditor that uses a composite as the control
- and create the texteditor on that composite.

Thanks, that seems like a good start.

I copied the KTableCellEditorText2 to my own object.

So I have DapCellEditorText extends KTableCellEditor

Modified createControl

protected Control createControl() {
Composite composite = new Composite(m_Table, SWT.NONE) ;
m_Text = new StyledText(composite, SWT.NONE);
composite.addKeyListener(keyListener);
composite.addTraverseListener(travListener);
m_composite = composite ;
return composite;
}

Now the fields behave like they did during display; but the editing is
wierd. When I edit a cell, the cell appears grey. When I navigate off the
cell, the text displays consistently with what I typed.

I think I can make progress from here; but if you have any more tips I'd
really appreciate it.
