SelectionListener not called when setSelection invoked? [message #458623]

Hi,

I have a Tree control in a TreeViewer in eclipse 3.1. I want to change the
selected item in the tree when something is dragged on top of it. I used
Tree.setSelection(TreeItem) to set the selected item to the one that is the
drop target. If I call getSelection immediately afterwards the correct item
is now marked as selected.

I also have a SelectionListener for the tree. This is called correctly when
I click on items in the tree and the selection changes, however, when I set
the selection with Tree.setSelection, the SelectionListener is not invoked.
Is this the normal behavior ? bug? or perhaps something I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Agnes

Agnes Freese:

This is normal. Just call handler yourself, if you need.

In other case (if it calls it automatically) you will need more
changes: add field flag that say, if this selection is because you set
it and it should not be handled, plus you will need to set/clear in and
also check in handler.

Thanks Konstatin, I called notifyListeners to invoke the event on the
listener and this is working for me.
