Having a Person object with a String("name") and a reference to another
Person object("mother"), is there currently a way to customize the Label for
the "mother" column - other then overriding toString() - for the Person
object?
I'm missing a way to "customize" the LabelProvider for a solution like it's
done in JFace-Databinding (e.g. see Snippet017TableViewerWithDerivedColumns)
or even better the possibility to provide columnPropertyNames like
"mother.name" - but that's a JFace thing :-)
Thx

Hi Stefan,
interesting idea. Our use case for the TableRidget is quite
straightforward and there is no special API to handle what you describe.
The only other way to do this without overriding toString() is to
implement something like getMothersName() { return mother.name } on the
Person class.
My gut feeling (I might be wrong) is that a generic solution from our
side would either be too limited to satisfy everybody or to difficult to
implement.
However, it should be simple to provide API that would allow you to
supply your own LabelProvider for specific columns. If you think that
approach would be useful for you, please file a bug so we can keep track
of this topic.
Kind regards,
Elias.
