Copy out from table cells [message #461579] Mon, 26 September 2005 19:32 Go to next message

Hi -

I have use JFACE tableViewer which manages a table with multiple
columns. The user needs the capability to copy out a single table cell
(eg: id or name or upc ) for pasting it in an extenal application. Is
there a way to specify in the lableprovider that the data being shown
should be copieable? What is the best way to acheive this?

I have thought of certain alternatives like, having a readonly text at
the top of the table, whose content changes based of the current row
position of the table, from here the user could copy out data -

Other was providing textCelleditors for all the cells, but returning a
false for on modifyData() - so the data can be copied out, but not changed.

Any other alternatives?

Thanks!

Anima.

You can add copy support to your table. See:

thanks -

that link helped me. I added a double click mouse listener and copying
out data after identifying the column based on the click position
co-ordinates - works great.
