Adding buttons to table rows [message #1017581]

Hi all,

I need to add some push buttons to table rows or if possible a toolbar and they should be visible all the time.

AFAIK my options are EditingSupport and TableEditor. The former only gets created when user actually selects the cell. While in order to use the latter I have to create & add TableItem manually and this is not possible since I populate the table via ContentProvider.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Setya

A recommended strategy is to use a button snapshot as described here:

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your response and also greeting from Jakarta, Indonesia.

Sorry I did not mention that I use RAP and it does not support GC as the samples in your link extensively use.

Regards,

Hi all,

I got it working.

I use ColumnLabelProvider by overriding its update(ViewerCell) method in which I create TableEditor.

Now I still have to worry about its background to match the table rows's.

Setya
