Does setSelection(index) on a grid invoke the selectionListener attached to it? [message #46166]

Hello all,

I have a grid and I have added a Selection Listener to it.

I wanted to know if on executing the following line of code, will this
listener get invoked:

grid.setSelection(index).

My requirement is that, when I set the selection to a gridItem using the
above line of code, the selection listener associated with it should be
invoked.

I have tried this but the selection listener is not getting fired. How can
I invoke the listener?

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Asha Subramaniam.

This is common to all SWT-Widget and I think Grid behaves like real
native ones. Setting a selection through code will never trigger an event.

In standard SWT you have to call notifyListener() your own but I don't
know if this is the same in Nebula-Grid.

Yes its as Tom says. This is the standard SWT pattern. Since its your
code doing the selection (as opposed to the user) then you can do any
follow on processing that you want (or fire the event as Thomas suggests
with notifyListeners()).
