how to distinguish the selection of a column header of the selection of all the cells under this col [message #1069708]

Hello,
I would like to be able to distinguish the selection of a column header of the selection of all the cells under this column header and I don't know how to proceed.

Visually, the result of these two actions is the same : all the cells under the header are selected and the header is selected too, but I would like provide more actions
in the first case.

Any ideas?

I don't understand the question. But maybe this helps:

Have a look at the DefaultSelectionBindings. There are different actions configured for clicks on header or body cells. Dependent on that actions different commands are executed which cause different events to be fired.

Dependent on your use case you either want to modify the select action that gets triggered on click or you want to execute additional stuff when the event is fired by adding corresponding layer listeners on the special events.

Hi Dirk,
thank you for your answer. I will see the DefaultSelectionBindings.

In fact I would like to be able to know how the cell selection has been done :
- selecting the header
- or selecting the cells

Regards,
