I'm busy building a screen designer using GEF. I have created Figure
representations of the various screen widgets which can be dropped on a
screen surface. Some have been slam-dunks (such as Labels) while others
have been more challenging (tab sets).

I'm now up against another challenging one. This will be a representation
of a "table" or grid. I need column headers and a way to resize the
columns, probably by dragging the column edge (think Excel). I have
studied Pratik's Sash implementation in the Palette but I'm hoping for
something a bit simpler somehow (or already built, of course).

I'm trying to get a handle on how to get started with this Figure.

Sage advice (or other) appreciated.

I believe someone implemented a GEF Table awhile ago which looked like
almost like an excel clone. I believe the code is here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipsetoolkit2/

Not sure if this is what you have in mind :)

Thanks! Looks like a good start. One (newbie) question, though. This
looks like it was designed to be a top-level viewer; e.g., it defines a
composite to house the header controls and then the table (it defines a
"TableViewer" subclassed from GraphicalViewerImpl). After that, it seems
to talk about draw2d-level stuff.

I'm looking for a GEF-level MVC to drop into a GEF environment.

Is my job to refactor this from a SWT-level viewer to a GEF component?
