Why must press "Enter" for ComboBoxCellEditor? [message #510162]

Hi,
I have a table with ComboBoxCellEditor cells. When the user selects an
option from the drop-down list, theuser must then press "Enter".

Is there a way to use ComboBoxCellEditor such that the user must not
press "Enter". That is, the selection is equivalent to select+enter?

Thanks, y

I solved it by the following, although I am not sure if it is the
"right" way:

Control control = comboboxEditor.getControl();
CCombo c = (CCombo) control;
c.addSelectionListener(new SelectionListener() {
public void widgetDefaultSelected(SelectionEvent e) { }
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
doSomething();
}
});

This works, but you can no longer use the up/down keys to select menu items.

Note that instead of doSomething, you can also call comboboxEditor.deactivate() and keep all the logic to handle the change in EditingSupport.setValue(...).
