Position of a TableColumn [message #439737]

Hi all,

[short version:]
is it possible to get the position of a TableColumn in a TableViewer?

[longer version:]
I have a TableViewer with a Table and some TableColumns. With the more or
less known bug fix I added the possibility to drag and drop TableColumns to
my TableViewer. Therefor I am able to change the position of the columns.
Now I want to store the user configuration of the TableViewer (size, width
of the columns and position of the columns) and therefor have to know the
position of a TableColumn. First I had a look at the Table object, but the
position of the columns didn't change in it when dragging a column.

Do you know any other possibility to get the position of a TableColumn. Is
there maybe is chance to ask the TableViewer for it?

Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks id advance,

Ole Laurisch

Hmm perhaps you can create a map which know the current Position of the
Columns! When you drag the first column to the second they both have
changed their position! So you can add to your map under the key for
example "column1" = Column2 and "column2" = Column1

Just an idea

Funny thing! The same idea came to my mind yesterday. But there is still one
problem then. When I drag and drop a column how should I know where the new
position of the dropped table is. As I said before, I cannot ask the table
object for the position as it doesn't recognize the re-positioning.

Or does anybody know a way to find out at which position a TableColumn is
dropped? Maybe with the Drag- and DropListeners?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Ole
