[SOLVED] CellEditor in a column header? [message #1123149]

I need a combo box cell editor in a column header of a NatTable. I registered it as I would register it for a table body, however on clicking the cell, the default behaviour is triggered, i.e., instead of popping up a combo box the column is selected. What am I missing here?

Did you ensure that the edit bindings are also registered for the column header? Have a look at the DefaultEditBindings, which only enable editing in the body region.

Do I have to attach new modified DefaultEditBindings to the column header layer or to the table itself?

I think it should be possible to add additional edit bindings to the table.

I got it to work adding it to the column header layers like this:

columnHeaderLayerStack.addConfiguration(new DefaultEditBindings() {
    @Override
    public void configureUiBindings(final UiBindingRegistry uiBindingRegistry) {
        uiBindingRegistry.registerSingleClickBinding(
            new CellEditorMouseEventMatcher(GridRegion.COLUMN_HEADER), new MouseEditAction());
    }
});

Now I can add labels to the column header cells and add the editors via the config registry as if I would add them to the body cells.
