How to setup data binding for master details page [message #327363]

Hi,

I'm currently writing a contact manager for managing contact from different sources (http://code.google.com/p/abcom/).

In my application each contact has several addresses, emails, phone numbers, etc. I created a form based / multi page editor for the contact. On the addresses page there's a list with all addresses. By selecting one address the user can edit the address details (like street, city, zip, ...)

For the sync between the model and the master details stuff I'd like to use JFace Databinding. I found a very simple example under http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.jface.e xamples.databinding/src/org/eclipse/jface/examples/databindi ng/snippets/Snippet010MasterDetail.java?view=markup
The example is very limited: There's just one text widget to edit the selected entry from the list. What I need is to sync several widgets with the selected address from the contacts address list.

Does someone have samples how to use data binding in combination with master detail pages and more complex model objects?

Thanks in advance!
Harald

Harald,

Take a look at Snippet 017: Table viewer with derived columns
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.jface.e xamples.databinding/src/org/eclipse/jface/examples/databindi ng/snippets/Snippet017TableViewerWithDerivedColumns.java?vie w=markup

Hi Matthew,

thanks for your tip! After adopting the sample code to my special needs, my master-details formeditor works!
