TextCellEditor more like Excel [message #1112817]

Hi,

I am trying to implement a feature on the inline TextCellEditor : When started, it should recalculate its bounds so that the the underlying data fits in the editor area. This is also how Excel handles this.

What would be the best way to implement this? I had a the look on the EditController class. It takes by default the bounds of the Cell.

It would be nice to reuse the the calculate feature of the TextPainter somehow. Any ideas on this?

Kind Regards,

Arjan Kok

Hi,

technically the MultiLineTextCellEditor should fit your needs when opening it inline instead of in a dialog.

While verifying this statement, I noticed that it is not. So I created a ticket for this:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=417680

As I'm currently fixing some issues with editor controls that were reported lately, I looked into this and corrected it right away.

By checking out the current sources from git or using the latest snapshot (>= 187) you should be able to configure a MultiLineTextCellEditor that opens inline and behaves like you described.
