[TreeViewer] post selection changes are not handled as expected (as in RCP)? [message #546673] Tue, 13 July 2010 17:40 Go to next message

I added a post selection changed listener to my TreeViewer like this:
TreeViewer.addPostSelectionChangedListener(new ISelectionChangedListener() {
    public void selectionChanged(final SelectionChangedEvent e) {
        System.out.println("post selection changed");
    }
});

The problem is that if I change the selection twice very quickly by pressing the arrow up or arrow down key, then "post selection changed" is printed out twice. But it should occur only once - exactly for the last selected element, isn't it?
Because the JavaDoc of IPostSelectionProvider says:
Quote:
* A post selection changed event is equivalent to selection changed event
* if the selection change was triggered by the mouse, but it has a delay
* if the selection change is triggered by keyboard navigation.

In RCP I see it only once, as expected.

Use case:
I need to open the selected objects from my Tree in corresponding editors. But if I change selection quickly with the keyboard I only need to open the object I stop on. Not to open all traversed objects. Isn't it the use of post selection anyway?

Could you please advise me what I could do to make it work like in RCP?

Bogdan,

apparently this is a bug in RAP. Feel free to file a bugzilla, however I
doubt that we will be able to fix it.
To work around the issue, you can could implement the delay yourself
with Display#timerExec() or java.util.Timer.

Yes, I already did it:

I am already seriously considering it, since I use Display#timerExec() anyway. Thank you!
