Hello there, I wanted to take closer look into the Eclipse's standart Properties-View to see how the data binding between its tableviewer (the one with two columns; Property and Value) and selected elements from other ViewParts happen.

I first took PropertySheet.class into focus. But I couldn't understand where the data binding happens. The createPartControl() is the method responsible for the instantiation of the viewpart. There are also further methods for listening/observing the surrounding. But where does the data binding between the viewpart and e.g. structured selection happens?

I was hoping that the Properties View would be a good starting point for my own project. Since it does for the moment exactly what I also want to achieve. I want my JFace tableviewer to be able to use different CellBoxEditoren for different attributes of at-runtime-instantiated structured elements. E.g. the first cellbox of the tableviewer uses a TextCellBoxEditor for String, Int elements for the selection; and the second cellbox of the viewer uses a DropDownBoxEditor e.g. for Boolean elements. By the way all decided at the runtime dependent of various selections.

I hope that was clear enoug, what I want to achieve and I am looking at right direction. Thanks for the replies!
