Click on empty row in a table [message #518961]

HI, I try to detect a click on an empty row in a table in a platform independend way. When I look at the Table implementation I could aks the OS for the selection, but that would mean I have to do that platform dependent (which I want to avoid). Can anyone give me a hint how I could listen to such a click ?

new MouseListener()
		{
			
			@Override
			public void mouseUp(MouseEvent e)
			{
				TableItem item = viewer.getTable().getItem(new Point(e.x,e.y));
				System.out.println(item); /is null
				
			}

That way should work, though it's generally suggested to listen on MouseDown
instead of MouseUp. Are there cases where this approach doesn't do what you
want?

Its meaningful only with FULL_SELECTION otherwise the table rows that have romm left over beneath the columns also reply with null on getItem(); and thats confusing to ths user (and me Smile

I think brute force is the way to go then:

public static void main (String [] args) {
Display display = new Display ();
Shell shell = new Shell (display);
shell.setBounds(10,10,400,400);
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
final Table table = new Table (shell, SWT.V_SCROLL);
for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
new TableItem(table, SWT.NONE).setText("item " + i);
}
table.addListener(SWT.MouseDown, new Listener() { // <---
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
Rectangle bounds = table.getItem(table.getItemCount() -
1).getBounds();
if (bounds.y + bounds.height < event.y) {
System.out.println("clicked below");
}
}
});
shell.open ();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
}
display.dispose ();
}
