Grid: GridViewer selection service does not support cell selection [message #57773]

I'm using GridViewer in Eclipse 3.3.

viewer = new GridTableViewer(aParent, SWT.BORDER | SWT.V_SCROLL |
SWT.H_SCROLL);
viewer.getGrid().setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
getSite().setSelectionProvider(viewer);

I can select various combinations of cells.

The problem is when I access the selection via the selection service I see a
list of the rows selected but there is no information about which cell(s)
have been selected. Do I need to implement my own
StructuredViewer.getSelectionFromWidget() to return only cells values or
have I completely misunderstood how gridviewer and the selection service
works?

Thanks,
David Kyle

The IStructuredSelection provide by GridViewer only represents the rows
selected not the single cells.

I have a modified version of GridViewer in my workspace which deals also
records the selected cells but I haven't published the code yet as a patch.

So please file a bug against Nebula/Grid if there's not already one and
CC me there.
