[JFace] Text and Dialog button CellEditor? [message #332934] Fri, 14 November 2008 16:25 Go to next message

There is DialogCellEditor and TextCellEditor, but what I need is a
combination of the two, a CellEditor that allows the user to type in
text and also has the ... button for opening a Dialog to select a value.
I've trying to write one by extending DialogCellEditor and adding a Text
field (lots of code copied from TextCellEditor) but I'm having annoying
difficulties getting focus handling to work properly (this is only the
latest issue in a painful progression of them).
Has anyone seen such a CellEditor that I could use rather than continue
to flounder writing my own?

I guess I'll (try to) describe the issue I'm facing in case someone has
an idea for getting past it.
The problem with combining a Text and a Button in the same CellEditor
seems to be related to how to handle focus-lost events. The Text needs
to have a focus-lost handler that calls CellEditor.focusLost() so that
the value from the Text is pushed to the model [focusLost() calls
fireApplyEditorValue()] - when someone activates the editor, types into
the Text and then clicks elsewhere, the value they typed is pushed to
the model.
However, this interferes when the CellEditor open-dialog button is
pushed, because that triggers focus-lost to the Text which in turn
triggers fireApplyEditorValue() - the problem is that this indirectly
causes the ColumnViewerEditor to remove its listener from the cell
editor [see code buried deep in ColumnViewerEditor.applyEditorValue()].
So when the dialog is closed with a new value chose, the
ColumnViewerEditor is no longer listening to that CellEditor and doesn't
get the update.

Any ideas how to get around this conundrum?

Eric

Do you have code for me to play with?

This extends another of our home-grown classes,
SelectionDialogCellEditor. You can either change it to extend
org.eclipse.emf.common.ui.celleditor.ExtendedDialogCellEdito r or get
SelectionDialogCellEditor from
< https://www.skywayperspectives.org/fisheye/browse/CVS_OpenSo urce/skyway/common/plugins/org.skyway.ui/src/org/skyway/ui/t ables>

Thanks for the help,

Bump. Did anyone have a chance to look at this code or offer an

Answering another question reminds me that I haven't answered your
question for quite some time.

Eric could you please create a fully running snippet. I can download the
missing class from your repo (though it looks like it's released under
GPL :-( but the binding domain-code would help me to get started maybe
you could provide a snippet without the need for this super-class
because the we could make up a snippet from it.

Wouldn't you know it, I reduced it down to a snippet and now it seems to
be working correctly! Frustrating, but at least the community can
benefit from the work.

A question before I submit the snippet in bugzilla: I've got two
classes, the snippet and the cell editor class. If they are combined
into one (make the cell editor a nested class) I think the code is too
crowded and difficult to follow - that defeats the purpose of a snippet,
doesn't it? So can snippets consist of more than one top-level class?
Would I attach both .java files to the bug report?

Hi Eric,

Yes we have some snippets which consist of more than one class. Maybe
adding a comment in the class-javadoc to explain this could help.
