How to create different CellEditors per row? [message #334647]

Hi,

in my project I need to edit a lot of different objects - so I need to
implement a dialog for each object.
Because theere are a lot of properties on each object it takes some time to
create such a dialog.

So my idea was to implement a simple-dialog, which only shows a table and a
property and ints value per row.
--> This is no problem.

My problem is: How can I set different CellEditors for each value-column?

Currently I use a TableViewer and TableViewerColumns together with an
EdititingSupport for each column.

You simply need to make your EditingSupport return the appropriate
CellEditor or do I miss the point?

Yeah - thats it. :-)

Now I have another question: are there some default jface-classes for java
Beans?
e.g. ICellModifier or EdititingSupport or ITableLableProvider?
Of course I can implement them - but maybe there are some ready classes
that I can use?

No we don't have such stuff but you could take a look at
JFace-Databinding which I'd suggest to use. It provides specialized
LabelProviders for observed attributes of a bean and integration into
EditingSupport.

Thank you very much for the link - the examples are exactly what I'm looking
for.
