The ICellEditor is never triggered? [message #998633]

I created an ICellEditor and registered it as following:

configRegistry.registerConfigAttribute(EditConfigAttributes.CELL_EDITABLE_RULE, IEditableRule.ALWAYS_EDITABLE, DisplayMode.EDIT, "LABEL1");

configRegistry.registerConfigAttribute(EditConfigAttributes.CELL_EDITOR, new Table_CellEditor(), DisplayMode.EDIT, "LABEL1");

When using the TextCellEditor instead of Table_CellEditor - it works.
But none of the methods inside the Table_CellEditor is triggered.

What could be the reason?

You need to register your custom Table_CellEditor to the NatTable like this in an AbstractUiBindingConfiguration:

uiBindingRegistry.registerFirstSingleClickBinding(
	new BodyCellEditorMouseEventMatcher(Table_CellEditor.class),
	new MouseEditAction());
		
uiBindingRegistry.registerFirstMouseDragMode(
	new BodyCellEditorMouseEventMatcher(Table_CellEditor.class),
	new CellEditDragMode());

This is done e.g. in the DefaultEditBindings which are registered in the DefaultGridLayerConfiguration for the default editors of the NatTable.

With the current refactoring of editing in NatTable, the BodyCellEditorMouseEventMatcher is deprecated, replaced with the CellEditorMouseEventMatcher. The first one checked if an editor is registered and if it is of the specified type. The new one only checks if an editor is registered. This has the advantage that you do not have to register a matcher for every cell editor you are adding. For editors that should not be activated if you click at any position of a cell (e.g. CheckboxCellEditor), you still need to register a special matcher.
