Delayed second click = Edit cell for TableViewer [message #524975]

Hi,

the default editing behaviour of cell editors for a TableViewer cause conflicts with the
popup menu very quickly (user clicks into a cell to select it, but it eagerly starts
editing, user right-clicks then and you see the context menu of the text field instead of
the table row). I'd like to change this behaviour to: only when you do a second click
after some delay in an already selected cell, the editing starts (as the native controls
on most operating systems do). Is this possible with JFace?

Greetings,

Ralf

You control this by installing ColumnViewerEditorActivationStrategy like
e.g.
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.jface.s nippets/Eclipse%20JFace%20Snippets/org/eclipse/jface/snippet s/viewers/Snippet026TreeViewerTabEditing.java?view=markup

The above one uses an DoubleClick strategy but you can do as many clever
things as you want.
