R3.4.1
WinXP

I tried copying Snippet 56 (from here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.jface.s nippets/Eclipse%20JFace%20Snippets/org/eclipse/jface/snippet s/viewers/Snippet056BooleanCellEditor.java?view=markup
) into my WS, and the BooleanCellEditor class does not seem to exist --
what's up?

(I am using the existing CheckboxCellEditor instead.)

thanks,
Paul

Hi,

It's not part of JFace itself but of the snippet package so if you check
out the sources or navigate in the browser to the parent of the file you
downloaded you'll see the CellEditor.

BTW the best snippet we have for this is:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/JFaceSnippets#Snippet061FakedNativeC ellEditor
because it makes your UI look like using native checkboxes whereas they
are only dynamic screenshots

I'm a great fan of the "faking-native" check boxes idea but if I
remember correctly the above example looks a bit unnatural compared
to the native check-boxes because it's centered and not left-aligned.

We also use the snap-shot technique, but we let the label provider
return an image and use an EditingSupport with a CheckboxCellEditor.
